Gorn Friendship Day - January 19
Who doesn't love the Gorn ? They're almost too affectionate, as seen in this over-enthusiastic hug being given to a Starfleet captain. These guys were one of the more memorable one-story races introduced in Star Trek: TOS. Okay, Captain Kirk and the Gorn's first encounter was rather fraught with conflict, but in their later years they would socialize together . (Admittedly hard feelings would sometimes resurface.) How should you celebrate Gorn Friendship Day? Well, if the episode Arena is on, then it's a no-brainer; watch the program to celebrate. If that's not available to you, enjoying any of the Star Trek programs, movies, or books could suffice. And if you're able to watch with a reptilian alien, that's even better.
