I was very tempted to also create a STARTREK.guide - big Trekkie here as well (and Star Wars…)
If they crossed over for more than just a comic, I’d definitely do it

Yeah, the comic is great! But I want it official and live-action

I don’t. I don’t have room in my life for one more fandom!

I always have room for one more fandom.
But I’m basically already into Star Trek. I’ve been going through Voyager periodically, and am definitely following Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, and Lower Decks…
(Less into Star Wars, really. I’ve watched the trilogy, but it’s not exactly a trilogy any more…)

I’ve seen everything Star Trek except for Prodigy and Lower Decks. I’ve seen Voyager twice all the way though, love it.
I’ve seen everything Star Wars except the last few Rebels episodes (currently watching), the latest season of The Bad Batch, and Ahsoka (watching Rebels to catch us up before that).
Yes we are a little bit obsessed.

Seen almost all trek now, missing the end of enterprise and most TOS. I watched DS9 all the way and then immediately told my partner it was amazing and then watched it twice with them all the way through loll

One reason why I’m back with Voyager, actually, is Prodigy. It’s got Janeway as the ships hologram, and she’s so good there it made me want more. Prodigy, which obviously having a good element of being Star Trek for kids, is also to some extent what happened after Voyager ended. Tricky part tends to be having people watch past the first few episodes, because the second half of the first season is where a lot of the best episodes are.
Lower Decks, sure, is a comedy, but the writers obviously love Star Trek, and it’s got some great characters. (And, of course, they did give us an episode called “Twovix”… 
)
Trek I’ve seen the least of: Haven’t seen any of TAS, only saw the first season and a few episodes of the second of Discovery, and I think I stopped watching Enterprise somewhere in the second season. All kinda on my to continue watching someday list, but there are far too many things on that…

This went very off topic. We have a habit of doing that…
But I feel like a lot of Star Trek is very close to the format of Doctor Who - monster of the week, etc.

I sometimes think that I want to get into Star Trek (I only saw some Voyeger in the 90s) but then I know that I can’t do it just a little bit and that it would be another mega commitment, so I put it on hold.

My partner is a big Trekkie so it’s only fair for him to start shoving it down my throat like I shove Doctor Who down his. We did say we’d start watching one of them together once we finish Brooklyn 99 but unfortunately, due to my new job training we’re not going to be able to watch anything together for a couple weeks.

I love Brooklyn 99 - such a well written and acted show.

We’re on the last two episodes.
On the topic, it’s kind of surprising the show never got a shoutout between Boyle, Holt, Terry, and Amy you’d think one of them would be a fan.

This is one of the shows my sister grew obsessed with, and from her I learned that they somehow, years early, predicted the negative fan response to an era with the first female Doctor (not that hard to imagine I suppose), and showed off a concept almost exactly like bigeneration visually.
So clearly, Doctor Who has actually been stealing ideas from Inspector Spacetime…

Just was randomly thinking about one of the most off the rails episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ever made, and I feel like writing it down. And I remembered we had an old thread for show with Doctor Who references, so here we are.
The episode was called “Slice of Life”, and was actually Hasbro interference in the show in that they brought back one of the shows best writers to write a pure fan service episode featuring a lot of background ponies as the main characters with the fandom’s personalities for them.
MA Larson didn’t want to do it initially, but got really into it after a bit. (He also wrote an episode of Gravity Falls; the one where Dipper duplicates himself with a copy machine.)
What’s relevant on this side of things is that one of the background ponies was “Doctor Whooves”, a pony styled to look like David Tennant with an hourglass cutie mark.
At one point in the episode, he wound up with a Tom Baker scarf, and said “Allons-y”. And while Derpy was clearly his companion for the episode, at the end, he was with Rose…
Unfortunately, putting all his scenes together make one repeated phrase rather annoying, but it is what it is.

Star Trek: Prodigy also went very Doctor Who in s2 with a very timey wimey plot involving time travel, alternative timelines/universes, and trying to prevent the Web of Time I mean multiverse from collapsing by trying to correct a massive paradox. Not to mention having extra-dimensional creatures that erase people from existence (ala Oubliette of Eternity) that are literally called Looms AND Wesley Crusher coming back as basically Star Trek’s version of the Doctor

That was definitely one of the reasons I loved Prodigy season 2 so much, though I already loved Prodigy before that point.
I also rather loved when they were going through alternate universes, and they briefly have one when the captain of Voyager was Tuvix…
