Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies reveals talk of Star Trek crossover
By David Bentley on Apr 5, 09 03:01 PM

RUSSELL T DAVIES has revealed that he had planned a crossover between the Doctor Who and Star Trek TV series.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, the Doctor Who showrunner said: "I would have loved to have done a Star Trek crossover. The very first year, we talked about it. Then Star Trek finally went off air.

"Landing the Tardis on board the Enterprise would have been magnificent. Can you imagine what their script department would have wanted, and what I would have wanted? It would have been the biggest battle."

Davies quits the hit show after this year's four specials, the first of which airs at Easter, and will be replaced by Steven Moffat. Star Trek makes a return to the big screen in May.

2. Good for him. Once he figures out how to do "Doctor Who" right, let me know.

(Please spare me the trite argument of "his episodes get 13 million viewers so they MUST be good and no criticism of any plot points is allowed!" malarkey, thank you. :) )

5. I'd rather see Worf kill Jar Jar - and then chop him up and eat him
Picard can be in charge of discussing ethics and morality with the mealy-mouthed Jedi council...

6. I think Worf would say
"There is no honor in defeating the weak."
