RTD: I wanted to do a Star Trek crossover

[The]

There are things about Russ I quite like. He can write very good stories at times, and his enthusiasm is often so delightful it's contagious.

He just needs someone standing behind him with a big stick, ready to whack him over the head whenever he has some hare-brained idea like this one presented here.

You mean like when he had the hare brained idea to bring back Dr. Who?

No, he means when he has The Doctor suddenly develop superpowers, or has people cheering for no reason that a cat burglar they barely met gets away from the police (and UNIT!), or when he has The Doctor suddenly being able to communicate with alien robots with a snap of his fingers, or when he has the Daleks being so incredibly powerful and unstoppable that they are able to be taken out by a few buttons, or when he has someone being able to break into a government missle system with a Dell laptop, or when he has The Doctor being so impotent that he has to rely on a sixteen-year-old girl to stop the Autons, or when he ruins any sincerely tense situation with something so cheesy third-graders are vomiting, or when he has hours of exposition on how fucking incredibe hoo-mons are because they watch reality television and eat crap, or when he has The Doctor making out with every woman that passes by, or when he has The Doctor constantly praising himself by shouting a lot, or when he has the Sonic Screwdriver being an enchanted-molecular-god-stick, or when he writes incredibly obtuse plots of nonsense and fluff while patting himself on the back for his own genius, etc., etc., etc.

See, anyone can play The Ridiculous Assumption Game here...

The Doctor's always had superpowers, he isn't human I really wish you'd remember that. And yes he's taken out robots and computers with ease in the past. And it was Moffat he had the sonic screwdriver used as medical scanner in The Empty Child. And I really don't expect that many changes under Moffat's reign, the show's a hit there's no reason to mess with it overly much.

None of that addresses anything near the point, but okay...

Essentially, yes. Though RTD is not the only writer guilty of such things.

It's not Star Trek that Who should cross over with. It's Buffy. The two shows would complement each other so well! Especially since the Doctor is all about out-thinking his enemies, while the Slayer is about solving problems with violence.

They did that back in the 70s on Dr. Who when they introduced Leela to the world.

Nah, Buffy should have crossed over with Highlander.

I would not be surprised if somewhere on the internet is a Doctor Who & Buffy crossover, either written or made with action figures

There's probably one where Giles turns into a giant flying bat.

As an added bonus, "Utopia" implies that the Hellmouth is a rift like that in Cardiff.

or the one where Spike turned up as a Time Agent, and Captain Jacks ex lover.

TBH I would not be surprised if there was Spike/Captain Jack fanfics written before Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, if there hasnt been, there certainly is now.
