Let’s see how far we can develop this story. Combining the Doctor Who and Trek universes
The Doctor needs help (as usual). Who better than the Star Ship Enterprise and her crew?
I’m thinking the Doctor would need help against the Borg. They want Gallifreyan technology. The Borg plan to travel through time assimilating everyone.
The Doctor is horrified. The Doctor bravely plans to destroy to the TARDIS and die with it. His brave companion exclaims “there must be another way!”.
The Enterprise appears from a Time Warp and hovers never the TARDIS. Which crew? What would be a great story worthy of a movie?
There could be an interesting back story. Why did the Enterprise appear? Perhaps a temporal anomaly developed because the Borg are using Gallifreyan technology. The Doctor had failed in preventing them from acquiring it.
The Enterprise must travel through time to assist The Doctor, defeat The Borg, and save The Federation.
Of course, we’d need real-life time travel to make it happen, but I’d love to see James Doohan’s Scotty interacting with Capaldi’s Doctor. For whatever reason, I feel like those two would get on quite well.
(I had a whole paragraph about how the* Trek and Who* universes would not mesh well IMO, but then I decided not to thread-shit. It’s a fun idea.:D)
I think a cross over movie would be a huge success.
They’d have the budget to unite possibly Steven Moffat, Russell T Davies, and Rick Berman to write a great script. Berman was the force behind DS9 and some of TNG.
I’m surprised it hasn’t already been done. The Doctor can travel anywhere.
I’m not sure if the Enterprise could reach his universe.
In my opinion, it’s more likely that the Enterprise would need the Doctor’s help than the other way around.
OTOH, you could have an interesting story if they met and the Doctor was violating the Prime Directive, as far as the crew was concerned. Or if they were somehow violating a fixed point as far as he was concerned.
I bet this could be a great movie if they got the right writers.
Although I suspect that Gary would muck things up. Like bring Picard a rose instead of the blue pin-striped socks that he had asked for and then Picard would be all like, “Gary. (Silent harumph) What the fuck mate?” And Gary would be all like, “But I thought you wanted tea?” And Picard would be all like, “Gary, mmmkay Gary! Just go over there.”
And then Gary goes and stands in the corner because they don’t keep chairs in the corner in the future and then Doctor Who shambles over and is all like, “Gary, you know what I like?”
