would kenan and kel have fit into deep space 9?

OK so i know this is a bit of an unorthodox first post lol, but i have been wondering whether kenan and kel could have fit into star trek deep space nine. both shows were on during the same period and both were very popular, and in the kenan and kel episode ‘futurama’ it is shown that they can travel forward in time to the future so its plausible that they could have travelled to ds9.

i was thinking they would travel forward just to see what it was like, it would have to be in season 5 as kenan and kel only started then! but anyway they could travel forward in time on their debut episode and then somebody would take the device they used to get there, the episode would involve tons of crazy capers and then when they finally get it back kel would do something stupid and break the device and kenan would be like “WWWHHHYYY” LOL, then their story arc would basically be that they have to fit into ds9 until they are able to find a way to get home.

i mean just as an example of how they could have enhanced the show, imagine they had been in the episode 'in the pale moonlight'. when sisko gets that fake rod made, kenan and kel could look at it and think its really cool, and then kel would accidentally break it and kenan be like "WWWHHYYY?!" and then they try to fix it, but they mess it up and thats why the romulan knew it was a fake. and they think theyve ruined everything until the romulan ship gets destroyed and everything sort of works out in the end :)

everyone knows ds9 is a bit of a serious show and its a bit boring that they always turn to the ferengi for comic relief, kenan and kel would be better comic relief i think! they’d always be annoying worf and worf would always wanna kill kel because he does stuff like trash his quarters with his weapons and jump all over him haha, and kenan would have to calm worf down lol. sisko and odo would be annoyed by them and odo would always be trying to foil kenan’s crazy schemes haha. whenever kenan was coming up with a crazy scheme for them to do something to try and get back to their time kel would be like “awww here it goes!!” haha. and i was thinking kenan could be in love with major kira but kel would always mess things up for him, and then he’d be like “WHHHYYY”!

at the end after the dominion war is over they’d find a way to get back home and they’d fit into the end montage perfectly, and i think it would be remember as one of the most creative and ingenius crossovers of all time!
 
Maybe Kel finds out that orange soda doesn't exist in the future and kills himself?

I'm 90% sure you're joking, but an intentionally cheesy kids show doesn't exactly mesh with the kind of humor that works in Star Trek.

no i am being serious. the orange soda idea is interesting, but i think maybe kel would think replicated orange soda sucks so he's always looking for 'real' orange soda and thats part of his storyline haha.

yeah the cheese factor would have to be toned down to suit the show but its ok, it could give them better character development and i think their humour could work as long as it was put in the right places and didn't overshadow the serious elements of the show. and instead of the annoying ferengi episodes there could be kenan and kel eps which are focused mainly on them which would be funnier IMO!

also they could have brought in a younger audience to watching ds9 and could lighten up some of the darker scenes in the series so that the kids don't become uncomfortable with the stuff thats happening :)
 
Ok, my name is Kelly and my nickname has always been Kel and as a kid I actually DID love orange soda (true story). I loved Kenan and Kel! Me and my cousin would always do the orange soda bit.

Regardless of whether or not this is a joke post, kudos on both the Kenan and Kel and DS9 love.
 
"They say it's orange soda, but all I taste is replicated high fructose corn syrup molecules."

It would be interesting as a parody of really forced crossovers, but there's really no common ground in the storytelling or characterization style, or any reason the DS9 characters would hold any interest in two rambunctious teenagers.
 
Except maybe for a Jake episode.

Jake falls asleep writing a story then has a dream about himself, Kenan, and Kel going on an epic quest for real orange soda, not that replicated crap. You can even fit Quark into it.

OP Ginners, write a crossover fanfic! :lol:
 
oh man i've never written a fanfic or a story before i don't know if i could do it but i could try. i think i would use the idea from my earlier post, kenan and kel would appear on the station during 'in the pale moonlight' and the story would be told from their perspective with them damaging the rod by accident etc, but everything else happens exactly the same as it did in that episode and sisko never knows they are there haha. i dunno if it would end with them going home or staying on the station though....
 
Ok...this is embarassing...but true story...

I was given a writing assignment in 6th Grade to write a story and I chose to write it about me (Kelly) having a dream where myself, my cousin, and Kel go on a quest to search for Orange Soda. It was 5 pages!

I got an A...but I think it was mainly because the story turned out so bizarre that the teacher was probably worried about my sanity.
