It is, amongeverything elsehappening in Space Babies, a pretty throwaway line.
And the Doctor answers, Weve got to visit them one day!
It was on our list of plans, untilStar Trek: Enterprisewas axed.
But sadly, for Davies tenure, there was no real, actualStar Trekanymore.
But now Davies is back, and so isStar Trek,and not just anyStar Trek.
Strange New Worldsalso offerstheEnterprise.
And that is whatStrange New Worldshas to offer.
It would have been the biggest battle.
And that was beforeDoctor Whofell under the Disney umbrella.
Why Not Star Wars?
The fact that Davies is still sayingin interviews thatI love that show…
I wish we could [cross over with Trek.]
You want to see how Starfleet would handle the Doctor?
Theres plenty of Trek episodes to give you a clue.
As weve already said, the fundamental values of Trek and Who are the same.
Exploration, empathy, communication before combat, a desire to learn and enjoy the wonder of the universe.
Just as intrinsically, the Doctor is a tourist on a gap year that never ends.
Starfleets Prime Directive,for better or worse, is to never interfere.
The Doctors prime directive is to never interfere unless he feels like it (which isall the time).
And thats why it would be good!
Seeing that come together would make an unforgettable hour of TV.
Doctor Who airs on BBC One, iPlayer and Disney+.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds airs on Paramount+.
