When Universes Collide (Dr. Who x Star Trek)

[JD]

We did get a crossover once already, back when they owned the rights to both franchises IDW did a Trek/Who crossover with the 11th Doctor, Amy, and Rory and the TNG TV era crew teaming up to fight a team up of the Borg and Cybermen. One of the covers showed the 4th Doctor and the TOS crew fighting 60s or 70s era Cybermen, so it might have also had that as a flashback of some kind.

I have the first half, but I haven't read it because IDW lost the license and they pulled it off all of the digital comics retailers before I could get the second half.

But, I don't think this is going to be leading any kind of onscreen crossover, I'm sure if it were they would be making a bigger deal of teasing the announcement.

It's not good. At all. Which is a damn shame since I loved the idea of The Eleventh Doctor meeting the crew of the Enterprise-D.

 

[JD]

That's a shame.

You mean Short Treks? Those are canon. At least three of them have been directly referred to in other shows.

Not that canonicity would matter.

No, he's talking about the non-canonical animated "Very Short Treks".

Yes, sorry, those are the ones

Yep, IIRC it started with the Doctor and the TNG gang finding a reference to Cybermen in the Enterprise's database, which includes a few images of the event, which jogs the Doctor's memory, then the rest of the issue is basically a TOS adventure where they have a run in with Cybermen and the Fourth Doctor shows up to help.

I did like the end of that issue, where we're back on the Enterprise D's bridge, the Eleventh Doctor realizing "I was there." Rest of the conversation goes something like:
Riker: What do you mean you were there?
Doctor: That man with the scarf, that was me.
Riker: That's ridiculous, that would make you a hundred years old.
Doctor: You're right, Commander, that is ridiculous. My actual age is nowhere near one hundred.

That's a shame.

For what it's worth, I think that the second half was still pretty good, if not as spectacular as the first half. I very much enjoyed the crossover.

While I enjoyed the crossover, I felt the artwork was extremely rushed and suffered for it.

RTD... no...

We've done the Borg, the Borg are over, let something have some closure.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Yes, Russell, the Daleks do keep coming back. That's not necessarily a good thing. They haven't been scary since season 1

Turns out we're getting a mobile game crossover, with the Doctor popping up on the Ceritos in the Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive, and Boimler and Mariner teaming up with River Song in Doctor Who: Lost in Time. I tried Lost in Time recently, but I didn't last very long. This might motivate me to give it another try or give The Badgey Directive a go.

Let's be honest, it's not like we've seen the last of the Borg anyway.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

The Tenth Doctor and River Song crossing over with Lower Decks is perfect! Definitely worth checking out the game.

Cool video - a pity so little DS9 (just the one very short scene) - and no Classic Who.

 

[DWMarch]

It's interesting that the Youtube thumbnail says this is a teaser. That implies there is more to come.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'd love to see the Daleks vs. the Borg.

The Tenth Doctor and River Song crossing over with Lower Decks is perfect! Definitely worth checking out the game.

River crosses over with the L&O universe and becomes a defense attorney named "Miranda Pond" (wink wink).

Oh, wait...

Cool video - a pity so little DS9 (just the one very short scene) - and no Classic Who.

A surprising amount of Evil Universe content for a video about friendship though.

Also the aspect ratio is all over the place, and not always because it's matching the series the clip is from.

 

[JD]

Yeah, I don't get why the clips from Paramount+ shows were in such a narrow aspect ratio when the actual shows aren't like that.

Oh, wait...

I actually happened to catch an SVU rerun a few weeks ago (since I was stuck at a hospital with not much options on TV...) which featured her character. It was one I had seen before I quit watching, but I don't think I ever realized that was her full name.
