If, if, it had to be done, I'd like to remind everyone that William Shatner and Tom Baker are both still with us.

Not really a “wild idea”, as much as something a 12 year old would come up with.

Yeah…I thought a Robotech/Star Wars crossover would have been cool…when I was 12.

But why though? What would this add to anything?

Did they ever identify species 8469 that the borg are afraid of (I think that’s the number, didn’t look it up)?

I guess that’s maybe one thing they could do with it, if not..

Tho daleks don’t seem like a species the borg would fear, tbh..

@Hackworth It was Borg Cybermen in the comics.

A comic panel with a Cyberman saying "Resistance is futile!" next to some Borg.

Thanks for sharing but no thank you.

Please no. No more gimmicks. No singing. No dancing. No puppets. No crossovers with other franchises. Just please make some good, classic Star Trek.

Well idk, I actually enjoyed the musical episode but I think the big issue is that there's so few episodes per season the silly episodes really stand out.

A bunch of people in pyjamas flying around at faster-than-light speeds? Seems like a gimmick to me...

Well fuck.... Now I want a muppet musical episode of Star Trek. It would work really good on Lower Decks. It could be some kind of anomaly that takes the crew of the Cerrito from 2D animations to live action puppets. And for some reason they give all exposition in song and dance.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Well I don’t know about another musical episode, but the muppets are definitely coming in season 4 of SNW.

First has to be campy…
