That would be a shame. Like "Red Dwarf", "Firefly"/"Serenity" had no aliens, so the drama and situations came from people and events.
Ridiculous crossovers you'd like to see?
- Thread starter The Borgified Corpse
- Start date
Firefly itself can be free from aliens, doesn't mean its entire universe has to be. Indeed, in an infinite universe, it would be extremely unlikely for there to be no intelligent life forms other than humans.
Plus, one can tell stories in that shared universe in different shows or films without having to constantly intermingle them. You can have a show like FF which has no aliens, but other shows or films in the same universe which do.
And it would explain Weyland-Yutani's presence in FF.

I think rather well. The Orville universe isn’t overly comedic. They just feel like actual human beings there.

an infinite universe doesn't matter if the speeds the ships travel doesnt' get them there very fast. Even at warp 9.9997 a Federation ship can barely get around inside one quadrant of a galaxy, from the Federation starting point.
Nah, I don't want to mingle such different universes. My brain and inner nerd says "No thank you. Just come up with a good story idea -- why go for a pointless crossover?".
The Walking Dead / Z nation
Elementary is set in New York. Sherlock must be is dire straights to go all the way to LA for a meeting!
Breaking Bad & Shameless (U.S version). Meth is often mentioned in Shameless, in fact I think one of the characters manages to get their hands on some. Shameless is already a crazy hectic show on its own, but I could somehow see Walter White and company appear on the show.
They feel like sitcom characters to me. A one week memory for personal offenses (Up to and including dismemberment and rape), emotionally simplistic, always thinking up one liners to respond to everything. But for that reason I think Orville could cross over well with most sitcoms.
One thing I'd like to see is episodes of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, set in various fictional universes.
Like, John Oliver does a segment on private prisons, using Orange Is The New Black as the example. Or John Oliver is in Battlestar Galactica, and does a segment on the election. Or in Silicon Valley, John Oliver does expose on Gavin Belson and Hooli's practices.
Oh, a ridiculous crossover. I don't want to see it though.
"Stargate: SG1" and "Sliders".
While escaping an attack on a planet, the Stargate stream the SG1 team are traveling through back to Earth, is hit by an unusual weapon, where they enter on an alternate reality Earth and encounter the Sliders.
Technically, it would work. Who is to say they both share the same Earth?

Star Trek and Spacejam
I loved the UK version of Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes which is the same idea but how does that time travel thing work? Is it all happening inside their minds?
It was an afterlife rather than a time travel thing. I imagine Sam and Alex were different to the other characters because they weren’t dead, it was Near Death Expierence.
I think Gene was an angle of sorts, and the rest of the team had to work through their demons. The experience did differ for Sam and Alex, with seventies Manchester being a vibrant city, but eighties London was bereft of any life beyond the plot, with not a single extra in any street scene.
The Railway Arms was heaven. Maybe Nelson was a St Peter figure.
It was fun while it lasted. The American version was a bit disappointing and I was expecting a continuation with rather than a remake, but I’m glad the ending was different, and how the writers teased us with it in Ashes to Ashes.
OMG Ashes To Ashes had 3 seasons........ I only have the first 2 where did they go for a 3rd run?
You haven’t seen season three? I don’t want to spoil it for you, but season three is where it got good.

WWE and The Muppets.
Oh wait...
