Threshold Day, celebrated annually on January 29, honors the episode 'Threshold' from Star Trek: Voyager, which is infamously known for its poor reception. Sif, who originated the idea for this day, did so as a way to counter the prevailing negativity towards the episode. Through sharing memes, gifs, and fan art on platforms like Tumblr, fans embrace the episode’s bizarre qualities, creating a unique tradition that highlights diversity in opinions within the Star Trek fandom. The celebration has gained recognition from various figures in the Star Trek community.
"Threshold Day really started as me being a contrarian... I found the negativity surrounding Threshold to be bothersome. There is room for as many opinions in a fandom as there are Trekkies."
"I instead decided to have a day only about Threshold. It was a bonkers idea - spending a day blogging only about an episode that creator Brannon Braga himself called 'A royal, steaming stinker'."
