As prequel to Star Trek: the original serieswhat’s going on in Strange new worlds Offer an overview of their favorite characters when they become the heroes that fans know. Due to its premise, the series is like a kind of cross event, with new and inherited characters mixing in new stories. Yet why Star Trek The fans may have been delighted with “The Sehlat who ate his tail” for his representation of James T. Kirk’s first time during a crisis, they may have missed a flashing Doctor Who crossing.

During the time Strange new worlds Season 3 takes place, James T. Kirk is still a lieutenant (perhaps a lieutenant-commander) and is the first officer of the USS Farragut. Under Captain V’rel, a Vulcan, Kirk deplores his style of leadership at risk and aspires to command. He obtains his wish when a giant scavenger ship, with a crocs skull mouth, destroys a planet. The Farragut is disabled and the USS Enterprise appears to help. When this is the case, the chariot’s “swallow” ship “swallows”. Interestingly, during a brief scene inside the ship, viewers can spot Doctor WhoTardis in taking treasure too. Kirk and members of Strange new worlds The casting that will eventually serve under him in the company (except for Doctor M’Benga) must understand how to save the business and prevent scales from killing someone else. The fact, but the rescue is not without high cost, in particular the life of the crew of 7,000 on the enemy ship, which turns out to be human. The carognard ship was built around a lost colonial ship which left the earth in the 21st century as a means for at least certain humans to survive the climate crisis and the wars which defined the era before the first contact Vulcan First sent the earth to a Star Trek future.

Inside the vast hold of the ship, which overshadows the size of the company, ships are linked by mechanical tentacles. These devices keep the ship in place and also wreak havoc with its systems. The crew cannot use traditional communicators, carriers or other Star Trek technology to free yourself. About eleven minutes after “the Sehlat who ate his tail”, Captain Christopher Pike and the number one assess the status of the ship after his capture by the scavengers.

The company is wrapped by these tentacles, and the camera moves around the SAUCER section showing them in the window of the view screen. However, just on the side, viewers with eagle eyes can spot a familiar blue box. Perched on one of the mechanical tentacles, and apparently not bound by them, is the Tardis, Doctor WhoThe larger spaceship in the world. Although this moment is surely just an Easter egg for fans, its appearance officially does it Star Trek Canon that Doctor, Gallifrey, Time Lords and Tardis share the fictitious universe created by Gene Roddenberry.

However, the Tardis jumped multi -life realities in the history of more than 60 years Doctor Who. Thus, although it is just a funny head sign of designers of visual effects on Strange new worldsIt opens an entire box of pastry cream while waiting for fish fingers. This moment implies that a doctor’s version is there in the treasure ship or, even better, on the company. Despite ships from other species in taking the ship, the company was the only one whose crew remained alive.

However, the ship of Charognard itself was massive and populated by 7,000 crews descending from humans who launched the mission two centuries ago. Was the doctor there to help the company or part of these teams? Did the Tardis intend to visit this place, or was it a classic failure? However, none of these questions is the most important question, since the captain (acting) Kirk destroyed the whole ship and killed his crew. On the contrary, what is most curious is that if the doctor meets again Starfleet, what will he think of them after having witnessed such a carnage? The doctor and their companions would have no idea of Kirk’s guilt on this subject.

Russell T Davies wanted the doctor and a business team to cross in 2005

Tragically, the ideal moment for a Doctor Who And Star Trek The crossover would have been in the early 2000s. Business followed the very first Warp Five ship launched by Starfleet, detailing the first contact of man with many emblematic Star Trek Extraterrestrials like klingons, Andorians, tellurites and others. The emblematic British series has revived Christopher Eccleston as a ninth doctor. The two shows were of their time, which means that they each took seriously their science fiction parameters and their premises. All the funny elements of each series have been played directly, without winking at the camera. This would have made an interesting pair of episodes if Captain Jonathan Archer and the NX-01 team met the “Madman with a box” which was larger inside.

From Business ended his mission, Doctor Who continued to go strong for more than a dozen seasons with many new faces on the doctor and in the camera. In fact, it lasted so long that Russell T Davies returned to the series with Ncuti Gatwa as fifteenth doctor. In fact, in the first own Doctor Who Episode during this race, Sunday of the Ruby of Millie Gibson asked the doctor if the Tardis traveled through the walls as a material of material Star Trek. Again, played like an Easter egg or a gag, the doctor said to Ruby: “We were able to visit them one day.” Again, it’s subtle to the point of being almost meaningless, but that Doctor Who Canon in which the characters Star Trek exist where the doctor may visit.

With their longevity, their spatial exploration, their journey back in time and their bizarre foreigners, both Star Trek And Doctor Who Share another community. The two have a massive expanded universe of novels, comics and, with Doctor WhoAudio dramas. These stories are not really hot, but they could Be if they do not explicitly contradict something seen on the screen. So it’s every fan if the Crossover Idw Comics Assimilation² Really “happened” or not. In the series of eight numbers, the eleventh doctor and The next generation The crew clashes with the Borg and the Cybermen. There is also a flashback combining the fourth doctor at Captain Kirk (a crossover that has occurred for the first time in a pre-internet fanfiction novel) against Cybermen.

Two different studios are not the biggest obstacle to a Star Trek Crossover and Doctor Who

When Doctor Who I returned to television in 2005, he followed in the footsteps of Star Trek: The next generationwhich was the first television series to survive its predecessor. Even if Russell T Davies wanted the doctor to cross with Star TrekThe series Business had just finished an 18 -year -old race that started with Tng. Doctor Who A few years ago to make the classic series correspond to, but she stayed in production when Star Trek Back for another third wave of unprecedented narration. Except that since Star Trek: Discovery made its debut in September 2017, Doctor Who produced only 26 special episodes and 11.

Perhaps the greatest obstacle to a cross between Doctor Who And Star TrekAny iteration is that the BBC and Paramount are two very different companies. Negotiations for such an event would probably be on the scale of Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios which are fighting on the use of Spider-Man. But, as popular as the two series, the BBC and Paramount would not be likely to provide the benefits that the Marvel Cinematic Universe Deal made for its partners. Both series are increasingly expensive to produce, with both Starfleet Academy Season 1 and both Doctor Who Series produced for Disney + representing the most expensive programs in the history of one or the other. However, money problems could be resolved, the timing is killing them again.

Due to the BBC partnership with Disney, the future of Doctor Who is in limbo (at least to the spin-off series Legend of the Sea Devils air). In the same way, Star Trek was in a little limbo with paramount studios confronted with a disastrous financial strait and a delayed merger with Skydance Media. Some six decades after the start of each series for the first time, modern iterations are ostensibly fight for their programming life. Therefore, unless Ncuti Gatwa films a secret cameo on Starfleet AcademyThe chances of a crossover remain slim. For the moment, fans cannot be satisfied with the reverie of the reasons why the Tardis appeared in Strange new worldsAnd what could mean for each universe.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is launching new episodes on Thursday on Paramount +, and season 4 recently finished filming.
