Non-Trek Retcon Thread

[F. King Daniel]

I'm sure The Starlost can be squished into the Trekverse somehow. A quick Google search says the Earthship Ark was launched some time before 2285 (Wrath of Khan), I could totally see it as a TOS-era Plan Z to ensure humanity survives the Klingons, Romulans, Doomsday Machines or Space Amoebas of the galaxy.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda immediately came to mind for me.

Deep Space Babylon 5 would have been great. JMS did a lot of great Trek stories. And vice versa.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda immediately came to mind for me.

I was always trying to mesh this one with the Star Wars universe, mainly due to vaguely-comparable tech levels and some convenient jokes about Force lances.

Deep Space Babylon 5 would have been great. JMS did a lot of great Trek stories. And vice versa.

I always pictured B5 as a sort of Birth of the Federation thing.

 

[DigificWriter]

Babylon 5 doesn't actually mesh well with Star Trek without some major changes... and I should know, because I once tried to reinterpret B5 as a Trek series through the medium of Fanfiction.

 

[Valenti]

A lot of stories done on Bab 5 could have been done on DS9 and vice versa.
Crusade could be squished in there too. And Space Rangers as well. A lot of universes can be swallowed up by other universes. A little salt and pepper and down they go. Trek eats them all though. Dune too.

Doctor Who could encompass everything given it involves time travel and multiple time streams. It wouldn't matter if the other properties conflict with one another. Those could be rationalized by divergent timelines and pocket quantum realities. In theory, the TARDIS and by extension, the Doctor and anyone else inside could reach them all.

 

[Valenti]

Yea, but who wants to encompass Dr. Who? Stargate, I could see.

 

[Butters]

Dr Who does lend itself to literally anything.

The Doctor lands in a theme park where cloned dinosaurs run amok.

The Doctor lands in New York to find a giant monkey climbing up a building.

The Doctor lands in a subterranean city and helps the people defeat an army of machines and release humanity from their virtual prison.

The Enterprise could be one of any number of generically futuristic ships the TARDIS has landed on.

I once read an illegally-published fanfic, The Doctor and the Enterprise, where Tom Baker's Doctor and Spock figured out the divergence point between their universes was that in the Doctor's world, planet Vulcan was destroyed millennia ago.
