Wait wait wait... X-Files and Cops, did that actually happen... because, that has the potential to be absolutely hilarious. I mean, imagine seeing some of the wacked out crap they came up with on the X-Files, from the perpesctive of an Average Joe beat cop? This would write itself!Sabrestar said:Crossovers, if done well, can be quite good. (Aliens versus Predator, perhaps.)
More often, though, they seem to come across as shoddy, cheap cash-ins. (X-Files and Cops, or any of the other absurd throw-two-properties-we-own-together nightmares that Fox foisted on us back in the late Nineties.)
I personally have a feeling the parts are too big here for the whole to be even the sum of them, much less more, but I don't like to write it off totally. It could work. I will be suspicious, though.
Send pilot to look for some then.Thyunda said:If comics were a little easier for me to get a hold of, I'd definitely be interested.
Because it went so well last time I sent anyone to look for anything.albino boo said:I strongly suspect this will suck. Its not the idea so much but the quaintly of writing wont be there to make it work. Anyway I'm waiting for the Dr Who desperate housewives crossover, John Barrowman has already been in it. They just need to finish off the set now.

That was my second thought, of course why chose when we can have both?Quellist said:Personally I'd rather see the Doctor interacting with Q...Vault Citizen said:They had me at Doctor Who.
I can't wait to read this, especially to see the Doctor's interactions with Picard.
Oh God, yes. Zoidberg working with Doctor Chakwas? AWESOME. Or horrifying. Or horrifyingly awesome. Take your pick.Arkley said:What? Why?
I mean, I get that they're both enormously popular sci-fi franchises, but that's where the similarities end. Star Trek TNG is a relatively grounded universe with a somewhat serious tone centered on the day-to-day lives of an ensemble cast aboard a space ship. Doctor Who is a tongue-in-cheek, ham & cheese retro-futurist show centered on the biggest Gary Sue to ever make it to TV and his pet human as they jump through time.
It makes about as much sense as a Mass Effect/Futurama crossover. Although that would at least be pretty awesome.
Wesley Crusher would like to have a word with you on the Gary Sue part.Arkley said:Doctor Who is a tongue-in-cheek, ham & cheese retro-futurist show centered on the biggest Gary Sue to ever make it to TV and his pet human as they jump through time.
Let's not forget these two gemsFalloutJack said:In this mach-up, I am hoping for...
{1} A request for fish-fingers and custard, bananas, or jellybabies from a replicator.
{2} An "I'm Spartacus!"-type argument between Matt Smith and Robert Picardo (The Emergency Medical Hologram).
{3} "A friend of mine asked me once to give her a little Spock. Better late than never..."
(4) A situation where a crew member of the ship out-technobabbles the Doctor.
{5} Rory replying to a Worf boast with "I defended my post for two thousand years as a Roman soldier made of plastic.".
{6} The Doctor versus Q. GO!
{7} A cameo of Jack Harkness being confused for James T. Kirk.
{8} Amy: "There isn't a bathroom on board this ENTIRE SHIP."
{9} "I'm receiving a sub-space transmission, sir." "What does it say, Dr. Data?" "'Hello, Sweetie'."
{10} "GERONI- *Beams down* -MOOOOO!!!
