Franchises that could exist in the same universe

Other than that, yeah pretty scarce info which gave the makers of Caprica a broad canvas to paint on, that was unfortunately barely explored.

Yeah, judging by this template offered in The Plan it would have been interesting to see where Caprica would go before it got axed. Aquaria and Scorpia have the most interesting premises in my opinion. I hope they don't abandon this template for the future Movie reboot.

As for TOS, they didn't even seem to mention any Colony apart from Caprica after Saga of a Star World.

I remember they mention an Aerian Merchant Code in TOS and that always gave me the impression that Aeries (equivalent to NuBSG's Aerilon) had some sort of Culture centered around Traders. That's conjecture, of course. Every Colony could easily have its own Code.
 
"Red Dwarf"

Mostly because neither side would know the other existed. :D One episode did claim Lister was 23rd century, though.

I doubt Star Trek and Logan's Run would have worked in tandem...

Doctor Who always lands on modern day Earth so a crossover with "Lost Girl" might have been interesting, especially if Jack wasn't there at the time in order to write something more creative than a dozen orgies... LG's main double-act feels a lot like DW at times, even more than the 2005 revival - which is sad if you think about it...

Crossovers always seem awkward... except Superfriends and Justice League... not sure why...
 
Genesis II/Planet Earth & Star Trek, I've wondered if GR didn't envision an organization like Pax arising after the third world war and forming the core for Trek's United Earth, TNG Starfleet's emphasis as a peaceful, nonmilitary organization falls into line with Pax's ideals, Had Data's original built by aliens origin been kept, that would bring Questor into play as part of the Star Trek universe, an idea touched on in Jeffrey Lang's Immortal Coil
 
The closest we get to real information on The Colonies was from The Hybrid in "The Plan"

The farms of Aerilon are burning.
The beaches of Canceron are burning.
The plains of Leonis are burning.
The jungles of Scorpia are burning.
The pastures of Tauron are burning.
The harbors of Picon are burning.
The cities of Caprica are burning.
The oceans of Aquaria are burning.
The courthouses of Libran are burning.
The forests of Virgon are burning.
The Colonies of Man lie trampled at our feet.

Even this only gives a hint - Caprica is probably the most populated planet due to being the capitol of the Colonies, Aerilon is agricultural, Libran appears to be the centre of the legal system, while Canceron, Picon and Aquaria appear to be mostly water worlds. Other than that, yeah pretty scarce info which gave the makers of Caprica a broad canvas to paint on, that was unfortunately barely explored.

As for TOS, they didn't even seem to mention any Colony apart from Caprica after Saga of a Star World.
We did get at least one brief look at one of the other colonies in Caprica, but I can't remember for sure which one. I think there was also at least one or two scenes in The Plan set on one of the planets other than Caprica.
 
The Aliens movie continuity and the Blade Runner movie continuity seem to be made for each other. All those colonies "off-world" being advertised in BR? Run by Weyand-Yutani, of course. The synthetic humans in the Alines movies - from a design orginated by the Tyrell Corp, maybe?

Agreed. The recent movie LIFE and Species.

The Walking Dead and THE STAND
 
The Walking Dead is the Hell Bela and John Winchester ended up in, in Supernatural.

Hell on Wheels is just a holodeck program Chief O'Brien plays by himself now that Dr. Bashir isn't around to join in with him anymore.
 
It's not a franchise, but A Million Ways to Die in the West is set in the same universe as Back to the Future: Part III

I doubt it. Christopher Lloyd's cameo doesn't mean a damn thing.

It's like all that Tommy Westphall crap. That doesn't mean anything either.

This isn't the same universe, but rather a diverging of a point.

My theory is that the nanites of NBC's Revolution, in an alternate universe, are the cause of the Walkers rising from the dead in Walking Dead. They all got activiated by a test signal that was sent around the world . That signal "flipped a switch" with the nanites to cause the resurrection problem.
 
Before Chronicles of Riddick, I imagined Pitch Black could sit well with Babylon 5.

Highlander, X-Files, Quantum Leap didn't seem exclusive of each other, and could also fit B5. B5 and x-files both featured the grey alien's abducting humans from earth in the twentieth century.

Doctor Who and Blake's 7 of course, and Primeval, as already mentioned.
 
^ Then why can't the nanites be disabled, like they were on the actual show?
Because those who knew about it died. Again, unlike Revolution, where the nanites disabled power, these nanites resurrected the dead, which was unexpected. So the scientists died right away. Other scientists didn't know what to look for, and the nanites acted like a virus, so they were confused early on
 
I believe the Nicholas Cage movie "The Rock" is actually part of the James Bond continuity, or at least an alternate outcome of Bond continuity. Sean Connery's character is (to my eye at least) James Bond in every way but in name (damn those pesky copyright laws). I think this a version of the Bond-verse where Bond was imprisoned by US authorities after the story told in Diamond Are Forver (the one in Vegas) went really bad. Bond gets shuffled off to Federal prison until he gets sprung to help take-down Ed Harris in The Rock.

I think the NCIS Franchise of NCIS, LA, and New Orleans, which has crossed over with the Hawaii Five-0 reboot, recent had the modern MacGyver join the same universe with a Five-0 crossover!

Plus, why hasn't anyone mention that the Angel/Buffy universe is the same as the Sesame Street/Muppets universe!
