Transformers x Knight Rider. Kamala Harris x The Simpsons. Robert Downey Jr. x Marvel, however once more and completely different and way weirder this time. It’s been a 12 months of crossovers at San Diego Comedian-Con, however one which’s, maybe suitably paradoxically, each not occurring but and already occurring is Physician Who and Star Trek, due to a pleasant panel on the con celebrating the 2 exhibits.
The “Intergalactic Friendship Panel”–bringing collectively Physician Who showrunner Russell T Davies and Star Trek architect Alex Kurtzman–raised eyebrows when it was first announced forward of San Diego Comedian-Con. After Ncuti Gatwa’s debut season of Physician Who casually slid in an acknowledgement from the Physician that Star Trek is actual in his universe, and he and his companion Ruby ought to go go to them some day, there was loads of buzz of a possible on-screen team-up. That day, it appears, continues to be far off, official panel or in any other case.
“We’re not saying something, but when followers could make it occur,” Davies teased in the course of the panel (through TrekCore), “With our two empires and their attorneys, then we’ll do it!”

One crossover did get introduced–an in-game occasion for the Lower Decks and Physician Who cell video games The Badgey Directive and Misplaced In Time. However for probably the most half, the panel was largely for Kurtzman and Davies to wax lyrical about how Physician Who and Star Trek encourage one another, and their respective showrunners in flip. One enjoyable query did come up: if there was no official crossover but, what episodes of every others’ collection would Kurtzman and Davies wish to write?
The Star Trek mastermind hedged on his personal reply (“We couldn’t afford you,” cried Davies), however Physician Who‘s showrunner leapt at one opportunity in particular. “Borg, Borg, Borg! I like the Borg!”
Even being instructed by Kurtzman that the Borg are just about executed for in Trek in the meanwhile–largely due to Star Trek: Picard‘s one-two punch of an allied fragment of the Collective on the climax of season 2, after which by re-blowing-up the Borg queen once more on the end of season 3–wouldn’t cease Davies. “There’s at all times a approach,” Davies added. “The Daleks preserve coming again!”
Attempt to not be too shocked then, if the Cybermen make one other comeback in Physician Who‘s subsequent season. In spite of everything, should you can’t do it formally but, why not go for the cyborg villains you have already got at residence?
Need extra io9 information? Take a look at when to count on the most recent Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s subsequent for the DC Universe on film and TV, and the whole lot it’s worthwhile to learn about the way forward for Doctor Who.
