What's your personal headcanon for your favourite TV series, movies etc?

All this reminds me of my own headcanon that the Doctor Who franchise was created by the Evil from Time Bandits (the movie) to destroy all of fiction, and eventually every real-world universe.
Ooh. So you're saying that Evil created The Land of Fiction in The Mind Robber?
Not that I subscribe to the theory, but they could all be maintaining the cover persona. The actual loss happens to Lazenby — on his first major mission in the persona, yet! —traumatizing him out of the service, so Connery comes back to do right by a colleague. It then becomes traditional for every successor to show their respects (and to learn to take it personally as part of the cover persona); so Moore lays flowers at her grave, Dalton refers to her, etc.
Funny you should mention. If books are allowed in this thread, I’ve semi-headcanoned that after Conan of Cimmeria disappears into myth and legend, something supernatural he encounters in probably-North-America changes his eye color and turns him immortal. He goes on through century after century and millennia after millennia, eventually finding that at any given time he can no longer remember more than a few decades of his previous life. So he eventually forgets that he was Conan of Cimmeria, though he continues to find, and love, fighting and adventure. Fast forward thousands more years, and this is the man who eventually becomes known as John Carter of Virginia, and later of Barsoom.By that logic, maybe Indiana Jones is actually Achilles, as in the Achilles, who actually survived the Trojan War, and who has memory loss and delusions of being an American from hitting his head real hard on the Titanic as it was going down. (But only the Raiders/Temple of Doom/Crystal Skull/Dial of Destiny Indy, not the Crusade one, obviously.)
Why? I have not the slightest idea. But why not?
^ Yeah, that's not bad.
This isn't headcanon so much as fan fiction, but shortly after the events of The Lost World, I'd like to see Professor Challenger and his team either be inducted into a secret society of explorers, or tasked by the King with setting up such a society, which then becomes the SHIELD of Edwardian England and the Great War years. For instance, they could battle Dracula, if the events of that novel get pushed back a few decades. And one of its fronts could be the Bembridge Scholars, which Evy dreams of joining in The Mummy '99.
So, it'd be kinda like Prodigium from The Mummy 2017, but not as large or old, and not headed by Dr. Jekyll for no apparent reason other than to give that movie a Hulk-out scene. And kinda like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, too. But while I'm sure that Alan Moore's work referenced Professor Challenger and his team somewhere, they'd be at the center of this society, with Ned Malone continuing his role as audience surrogate.

I've thought of another pair
The movie 'No Blade of Grass'
is a prequel to the movie 'The Ultimate Warrior'
The movie 'No Blade of Grass'
is a prequel to the movie 'The Ultimate Warrior'
'No Blade of Grass' is a 'near future' setting where a disease ravages grass and plants, while 'The Ultimate Warrior' is set in 2012, a couple of decades after the disease has destroyed almost all the plant life and society has collapsed.
'The Last Child', 'Soylent Green' and 'Z.P.G.' all share the same universe.
'The Last Child' shows the beginning of the population growth problem. 'Soylent Green' shows the effects of overpopulation and pollution, while 'Z.P.G.' is the final solution to try and save a dying planet and population.

ZPG was a wild ride.. Really eerie visuals
Why not, Ooh I like this
The entire Star Trek timeline is shaky and history gets tampered with all the time.
That's why Kirk or Janeway's time travel back into the 20th century didn't have any trace of Khan's Rule on it.

They finally acknowledged this in Strange New Worlds.
I would drop THX-1138 and replace it with Zardoz.
Logan's Run is set in 2274 on the East Coast of the United States, near Maryland and Washington D.C.
Zardoz is set in England or Scotland in 2293.
Both societies are controlled by a master computer.
One society chose to deal with the inevitable collapse and overpopulation by building an enclosed city where everyone dies at the age of 30.
The other group of scientists chose to deal with it by creating The Vortex and making their children partically immortal.
Both societies are breaking down.
In Logan’s Run, no one is maintaining the machines because no one is trained to.
In Zardoz, the people in The Vortex have grown bored and apathetic by their long lives.

That could work, but Zardoz has a much higher, basically magical tech level. Part of the appeal for me for LR/THX is that they feel like they could be in the same era, just in different places; whereas whatever the actual years, Zardoz feels like it’s much farther into a weirder future.
And that's why in PIC S3 they were celebrating Frontier Day but nobody cared about it even 50 years prior.
VOY crew were trying to find Friendship One, but forgot to mention Archer LOL.
