So this blog, which will probably be long and take me until August to write (It's June 17 as I'm starting this) is on Star Trek. I LOVE Star Trek. [Note: I was wrong. It only took me until June 19 to write, the date I'm posting it. Scotty taught me I should over exaggerate how difficult something is, in order to maintain a reputation as a miracle worker.]
Star Trek is the main future of the TVCU. Of course there are other things that happen in the future, but Trek probably covers what happens from now until the 24th century better than any other TVCU show or movie.
I don't plan on covering all of Star Trek history or future here. There are way too many novels which I consider canon, but I just don't want to tackle them. I will refer you to a great timeline written by Win Scott Eckert, and in fact, a lot of the crossovers I'll be listing here are also courtesy of Win Scott Eckert.
So, let's take a look at the future...
September 1867 to January 1868--ISHMAEL--Spock, a Vulcan from the 23rd century, a crew member of the U.S.S. Enterprise, is trapped in the past with amnesia. He is taken in by Aaron Stemple of Seattle, WA.
Fall 1893--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--"Time's Arrow"--Samuel Clemens and Jack London encounter visitors from the 24th century's U.S.S. Enterprise.
July 1947--INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL--Indy is called in to consult when an alien craft and it's inhabitants is captured. These are likely the grey aliens from X-FILES and other series and movies. However, how they got there is another story. Just prior to their crash, a space craft from the 24th century arrived in Roswell. Three Ferengi are captured until rescued by their shape shifter companion. They return to the future (STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE), however leaving an opening from which the Planet Express crew from the 31st century are pulled backward. While the ship's doctor is examined by the military, another crew member (originally from the late 20th century) creates a paradox by becoming his own grandfather (FUTURAMA). Thus when they escape, they leave behind a nexus that draws the Grey Aliens to Earth and also makes Earth a target for invasions from other worlds.
Summer 1965--Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan and the Super 7 and the Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure--"Tarzan and the Space God."--Not to say he has no presence. Win points out that the animated Tarzan, from Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan and the Super 7 and the Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure is in, and that it does indeed feature the real Tarzan. This is his only real screen presence. Off-screen, Tarzan has crossed over with many other characters from different series, but on screen, he's only had two crossover, and it was indirect, in that the stars of both series never met. The first crossover involves Tarzan encountering an alien named Kukulcan. This event takes place in the summer of 1965, though the episode wasn't aired until September 16, 1978.
1968--STAR TREK--"Assignment: Earth"--From Win Scott Eckert's Crossover Chronology--After traveling back in time from the 23rd century, Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock of the Starship U.S.S. Enterprise encounter Gary Seven, a human raised by aliens and sent back to Earth to fight for the forces of Good, and Seven's Earth-born assistant, Roberta Lincoln. Click here for an in-depth article on the inclusion of Star Trek in the Wold Newton Universe. (and the TVCU).
July 1969--STAR TREK--"Tomorrow is Yesterday/The Aliens are Coming!"--From Win Scott Eckert's Crossover Chronology--Captain John Christopher, a jet fighter pilot in the Air Force, stationed at SAC Headquarters in Omaha, has a strange, brief encounter with a UFO. Shortly thereafter, Christopher has vague memory flashes of futuristic humans, an alien named Spock, and a ship called the U.S.S. Enterprise. Meanwhile, government agent James Wainwright, who once encountered aliens calling themselves "Ferengi" in Roswell in 1947, attempts to use Captain Christopher's secret knowledge to promote his crusade of guarding Earth against alien attack. Fortunately, Captain Christopher is saved by Aegis agents Roberta Lincoln and Gary Seven. The Star Trek episode Tomorrow Is Yesterday provides one of the best "teasers" of this or any other Star Trek series. The sequel, The Aliens Are Coming!, was written by Dayton Ward and can by found in the Strange New Worlds III anthology, May 2000. Captain John Christopher could very well be the son of Jimmy Christopher (Operator #5). The Roswell incident was documented in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called Little Green Men. Seven and Lincoln first appeared in the episode Assignment: Earth, and also battled Khan Noonian Singh in The Eugenics Wars novels.
March 14, 1974-November 9, 1989--THE EUGENICS WARS: THE RISE AND FALL OF KHAN NOONIEN SINGH, VOLUME ONE--This is a major, major, major crossover. This is the story that reconciles how Khan's history in Star Trek could have happened once our real history caught up to it. Like a TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN story, I'm just going to lay out all the crossovers that are brought in or confirmed here: STAR TREK, ASSIGNMENT: EARTH (this counts as a crossover because ASSIGNMENT: EARTH was orginally meant to be a spin-off of STAR TREK), AVENGERS, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, STEPFORD WIVES, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, FRANKENSTEIN, MODESTY BLAISE, PRETENDER, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, BIONIC WOMAN, KNIGHT RIDER 2010, EQUALIZER, THE INVISIBLE MAN, and ANDROMEDA STRAIN.
August 1976 to October 1977--GREEN LANTERN # 90 to 97--"Those Who Worship Evil's Might/The Mystery of the Mocker"--There is a Vulcan serving as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Vulcan falls within Sector 2814, the same as Hal Jordan. There was at this time only one Green Lantern assigned per sector. However, the Guardians have appointed reserve members, such as Guy Gardner and John Stewart. This Vulcan is likely one of those, and was active at the same time as Jordan since they were both operating at a time when the Corps was working as a group.

June 14, 1992-February 2, 1996--THE EUGENICS WARS: THE RISE AND FALL OF KHAN NOONIEN SINGH, VOLUME TWO--The story continues with more crossovers: STAR TREK, ASSIGNMENT: EARTH, JOHNNY QUEST, WICKER MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR/BLACK PANTHER, TEAM KNIGHT RIDER, and CHILDREN OF THE SHROUD. The Illuminati is also referenced. Eventually I will do a blog about them. They exist in the real world, and thus will be treated like other celebrities and historical figures.
Early 1998--TEAM KNIGHT RIDER--"Apocalypse Maybe"--From Win: It is revealed that Kevin "Trek" Sanders, one of the members of Team Knight Rider, was the protégé of a famous scientist, Jackson Roykirk. Jackson Roykirk was mentioned in the original series Star Trek episode The Changeling. Roykirk was the designer of the Nomad space probe, which was launched from Earth in 2002; he also appeared in The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Soong, Volume Two. This crossover would also bringKnight Rider, Knight Rider 2000, and Knight Rider 2010 into the Wold Newton Universe [and the TVCU--Rob]. Regarding Sanders' nickname, his parents were "Trekkies." Apparently he was conceived at a Star Trek convention. Fortunately the Star Trek short story Research by J.R. Rasmussen explains how there can be Star Trek television series and conventions, and so on, in the 20th and 21st Centuries, and the future events of Star Trek can also be true within the same continuity.
1998--STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS II--"Research"--From Win: Time-traveling researcher J.R. Rasmussen quits her job with the film studio, Paramount. She apparently acquired a 26th Century Timepod from her descendent, 22nd Century con artist Berlinghoff Rasmussen (see the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode A Matter of Time). In her career as a time-traveling researcher, she was responsible for contacting a man called Gene Roddenberry in the year 1964, and documenting many critical events of the 23rd, and 24th Centuries. Upon her departure, Rasmussen left the Timepod with her former employers.
Mid 2010s--Derek Leech travels to Riverside, Iowa, and begins killing off everyone with the last name Kirk.
Fall 2020--STAR TREK--"Tomorrow is Yesterday"--Colonel Shaun Geoffrey Christopher heads the first manned Earth-Saturn-Titan probe. (He is the grandson of Jimmy Christopher, Operator # 5.)
2020 to 2022--STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE--"If Wishes Were Horses"--Planetary Baseball League player Buck Bokkai plays for two seasons for the Gotham City Bats.
Mid 2050s--STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT--World War III...
April 5, 2063--STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT--The crew of the Enterprise E travels back in time chases a Borg ship. They encounter Zephram Cochrane who breaks the sound barrier in a rocket of his own creation (using a former nuclear missile.) After this, humanity makes first contact with the Vulcans.
Fall 2111--Birth of Jonathan Archer, future captain of the Enterprise NX-01.
Winter 2151 to unknown--The first starship Enterprise NX-01 is launched, captained by Captain Jonathon Archer.
Summer 2161--The United Federation of Planets is incorporated.
Winter 2230--Birth of Spock of Vulcan, whose father is a Vulcan ambassador and mother is an Earth human. Spock has claimed that his is a descendant of SHERLOCK HOLMES. He is also a descendant of the Stemples of Seattle, and may also be a descendant of Dick Grayson, who was known in the 20th century as the original Robin and second BATMAN.
March 2233--STAR TREK--In the TVCU, James Tiberius Kirk's parents are on board the U.S.S. Kelvin, but make it back home to Riverside, Iowa, where James is born.
2262 to 2295--STAR TREK--Captain Kirk commands the Enterprise on a five year mission, to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before. Note that this show and it's spin-offs have been in numerous books, video games, and comics all of which I consider canon.
2262--STAR TREK--"Where No Man Has Gone Before"--A report on a screen shows that Dr. Dehner attended the Tri-Planetary Academy. This is from E.E. SMITH'S LENSMAN SAGA. The Lendsmen are a space police group that likely exists sometime in the future. Visit http://www.pjfarmer.com/secret/marvelous/supermanfamily/trektolegion.htm for a great explanation of the events that occur in the TVCU between the 24th to 30th centuries.
2264--STAR TREX--THE X-MEN travel from the 21st century of the Marvel Universe to the year 2264 of the TVCU, where they encounter the crew of the Enterprise. Note that there is a Wolverine in the TVCU, but not an X-Men team.
Summer 2265--STAR TREK--"Wolf in the Fold"--The Enterprise crew encounter Redjac, who is an energy being who has inhabited many people over the centuries using them to kill people as a serial killer. He was Jack the Ripper. Of course, SHERLOCK HOLMES and ELLERY QUEEN both thought they solved the Jack the Ripper mysteries. Gary Seven also encountered Redjac in 1974 in Moscow. Vandal Savage aka Kane has also claimed to have been Jack the Ripper. One could have been a copycat of the other. The Shanghai Kid's sister encountered one of the Ripper's and kicked his ass. The Shanghai Kid and Wyatt Earp were in London working with Arthur Conan Doyle and Charlie Chaplin. The Shanghai Kid is an ancestor of Jackie Chan.
2265--STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES: PHASE II--This is meant to be a continuation of the original series, so it must take place between the end of the original series but before the start of the animated one. Since there are only 9 episodes, I think that's plausible.
Fall 2265--THE FEDERATION HOLMES--This has many references, some of which are crossovers, and others are not (by my definition anyways.) STAR TREK: The stories in this anthology take place with the Star Trek reality as the backdrop. SHERLOCK HOLMES: The Holmes and company here are robotic recreations. LORD OF THE RINGS: This is a valid crossover. Holmes sees a copy of The Origin of Tree Worship by Entish. THE LOST WORLD: Holmes sees a copy of The Ladder of Life by Challenger. A.J. RAFFLES: Referenced as a real historical figure. THE SAINT: Referenced as a real person. INDIANA JONES: Not a crossover. Just a joke. A looter archaeologist named Jones was known on Indiana IV. LOVECRAFT: Maybe a crossover. There are ships named the O.C. March, the Cthulhu, the Arkham, the Sothoth, and the Alhazred. Perhaps there is a faction within Starfleet who worship the Elder Gods and chose these names, while most of the Federation was oblivious to the meaning. Also, Cyrano Jones references the three Hells of Rlyeh, which means he believes it to either be real or mythical. Either way, that confirms it as a crossover. PINK PANTHER: There is a safe whose model is P113N7K Panther. I can't make this as a crossover, just an in-joke, even though the Pink Panther is in.
Mid October 2265 to March 2266--STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES--More adventures of Kirk and crew.
Early March 2266--STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES--"How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth"--This one is continued, sort of, centuries later. In 2266, the crew of the Starship Enterprise, commanded by Captain James T. Kirk, encounters the same Kukulcan. It is not from the original series, but the animated series. It happened (or will happen) in early March 2266, but we got to see it aired on October 5, 1974.
So how is it that we can see events that haven't happened yet if they are real? That story, which I'll go into in more detail one day, involves a time traveler whose descendant worked at Paramount.
Late March 2266--STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES--"Slaver Weapon"--Spock, Sulu, and Uhura encounter the Kzin, of the KNOWN SPACE series.
October 2266--CAPTAIN'S TABLE 6: WHERE SEA MEETS SKY--Captain Pike tells a story of Captain Nemo.
2267--HOW MUCH FOR JUST THE PLANET?--An alien princess is wearing a sweatshirt from Miskatonic University.
2268--ISHMAEL--At the Wonder Bar at Starbase 12, Han Solo (STAR WARS) is present, fighting with Starbuck and Apollo (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). They were fighting over Sarah Jane Smith, who then leaves with the Doctor (DOCTOR WHO). Solo is from another galaxy in the distant past. Starbuck and Apollo are from the 1970s on a journey from their homeworld to Earth. It's likely the Doctor is responsible for bringing them all here, and it's presumed he got them all home. Note that this is the Doctor of the TVCU, and not the main version of the character who exists in the Universe I named after him. Kirk makes a comment about Sherlock Holmes, his relationship to Spock. Two Hokas are also seen (EARTHMAN'S BURDEN). They are cute living teddy bears. The main portion involves Spock traveling back in time (not with the Doctor) and meeting the Stemples (HERE COME THE BRIDES). Other western characters encountered are from PALADIN/HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL, BONANZA and MAVERICK. There is also an apperance of Straus and Sons which comes from James Clavell's Asian Saga: SHOGUN, TAI-PAN, GAI-JIN, KING RAT, NOBLE HOUSE, WHIRLWIND, and ESCAPE.
2269--ASSIGNMENT: ETERNITY--Gary Seven visits the 23rd century. Seven says that he has encountered or know of in his time period THE AVENGERS, THE GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E., THE QUESTOR TAPES, KOLCHAK THE NIGHT STALKER, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, JAMES BOND, THE PRISONER, THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, and Dr. Evil (enemy of AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY.)
June 2271--STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE--When a probe comes to Earth wreaking havoc, Admiral Kirk takes command of the Enterprise to stop it. In the end, it turns out the probe, V'Ger, was actually Earth's Voyager 6, which wound up on some sentient machine world, which Gene Roddenberry would later say was the Borg Homeworld. I wonder if in the past, this world didn't try to merge with other species, but were purely sentient machine, and may have been robots that also transformed into other types of machines.
2272--THE WOUNDED SKY--There is a cutter ship called the Ransom and a cruiser vessel called the Malacandra. Since other cutters are named after famous historical explorers, it's likely Ransom is named for Dr. Elwin Ransom from C.S. LEWIS' SPACE TRILOGY. Malacandra is the planet Ransom visited. In fact, Malacandra is another name for Barsoon, or Mars, which exists in an alternate reality, the ERB Universe.
Late March 2285--STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN--Kirk's old foe Khan Noonian Singh takes on Admiral Kirk and a crew of cadets on the Enterprise. Spock dies in this film.
Late April 2285--STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK--Spock is resurrected on the unstable world called Genesis.
Mid December 2285--STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME--Kirk and company have to travel back in time to get two humpback whales from 1986. They are extinct in the 23rd century and some aliens come back to communicate with them, and start to destroy Earth when they don't get a response.
2286--TRIPPING THE RIFT--"Chode & Bobo's High School Reunion"--Kirk appears. Note that this series if firmly set in the Star Trek Universe. There is a Federation and Vulcans. Yes, there are parodies of other sci-fi elements, but it seems to fit quite well around this time in this reality.
Early May 2286--STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER--Spock's half-brother is a terrorist who hijacks the Enterprise to find God in the center of the galaxy.
2290--STAR TREK VERSUS BATMAN--Batman's first encounter with the Enterprise crew.
2290--BRAVE AND THE BOLD...THE LOST YEARS--In April 1970, Robin II (Bruce Wayne Junior) and Batgirl II (Barbara Gordon) go missing. Clues lead Batman II (Dick Grayson) to believe that they are in the 23rd century. Batman finds a way to travel to the future (and there are certainly options out there) and works with Captain James T. Kirk to find his missing friends. See http://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2010/04/captain-kirk.html
2293--STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY--Spock refers to Sherlock Holmes indirectly as his ancestor. A plaque on the Excelsior is actually a quote from BUCKAROO BANZAI which reads "No matter where you go, there you are."
2294--BASTARDS OF KIRK--60 MINUTES is still running, and they are doing an expose on all the children Kirk has fathered but not supported.
October 2295--STAR TREK: GENERATIONS--Kirk gets sucked into a nexus where he exists in an eternal dream world.
2305--Birth of Jean-Luc Picard, who will become commander of the Enterprise-D. Win Scott Eckert believes he is a possible descendant of Inspector Paul Picard (from WILLIAM KOTZWINKLE'S FATA MARGANA) and Professor Frederic Picard (from JEAN-CLAUDE DUNYACH'S THE NIGHT ORCHID: CONAN DOYLE IN TOULOUSE).
2306--STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS II--"The Hero of My Own Life"--There is science vessel called the Nautilus, named after the legendary vessel commanded by Captain Nemo in the 19th century.
2306--STAR TREK: OF GODS AND MEN--Twelve years have passed since Captain James Kirk was swept away by the Nexus while saving the crew of the Enterprise-B. Sadly, one year later, Commander Montgomery Scott was reported missing along with the passengers and crew of the USS Jenolen, and to this day has not been found. The remaining crewmembers of the USS Enterprise have gone their separate ways. Captain Spock and Doctor McCoy have spent the last several years on Khitomer, continuing their work to establish peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, though it is wondered if they will ever establish peace between themselves. Captain Hikaru Sulu and his Excelsior crew are on an extended mission beyond the outer reaches of the Alpha Quadrant. Captain Pavel Chekov, although serving a high post in Starfleet Security, feels his career has stalled, leaving him to thoughts of retirement. Captain Nyota Uhura has been serving as Director of Starfleet Linguistics... Written by Ethan H. Calk
Summer 2332--Birth of Benjamin Sisko, who will later command Deep Space Nine.
2351--CAPTAIN'S TABLE 5: ONCE BURNED--Captain Miles Gloriosus is at the Captain's Table bar. He is either there via time travel (which is possible here) or is immortal.
September 2363 to Unknown--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--Captain Jean-Luc Picard commands the Enterprise-D. The ship's impulse engines are powered by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, another connection to BUCKAROO BANZAI. Yoyodyne also appears in ANGEL and THE JOHN LARROQUETTE SHOW.
2364--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--"Coming of Age"--There is a shuttle named the Indiana Jones Many vessels are named for real life explorers and scientists. This is a much clearer crossover.
2365--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--"Up the Long Ladder"--This is just full of BUCKAROO BANZAI crossover goodness. There is a ship called the S.S. Buckaroo Banzai. It's captain is John Whorfin. The ship's mission is at Planet 10 in Dimension 8. Another ship, the S.S. Mariposa is powered by Yoyodyne pulse fusion.
Late Summer 2368--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--"Time's Arrow"--The period in which the action begins that leads to an encounter with Samuel Clemens.
February 2369 to Unknown--STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE--Commander Sisko commands Deep Space Nine, a space station that orbits Bajor and also watches over a wormhole between the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants. (We're in the Alpha, of course.) The station was once run by the Cardasians, until the Bajorans won their freedom. During the run of the show, many shops and services were located or used on the station. This included the Banzai Institute (still in existence since BUCKAROO BANZAI), Cavor's Gravity Devices (from THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON), Del Floria's Tailor Shop (a front for THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.), Diet Smith Corporation (from DICK TRACY), FORBIN PROJECT, Milliways (from THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE...note that I placed the film version of HITCHHIKERS in the Doctor Who Universe, but the books are in the TVCU), Sirius Cybernetics Corporation (from HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY), Spacely Sprockets (from the JETSONS), Tom Servo's Used Robots (from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, which actually occurs in the future, but who knows...), and Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems (again from BUCKAROO BANZAI).
July 2369--STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE--"If Wishes Were Horses"--Deep Space Nine station Commander Benjamin Sisko owns a trading card of Buck Bokai, who played baseball for the Gotham City Bats in the 21st century.
2370--STAR TREK: CHAINS OF BETRAYAL--Picard goes missing and Riker takes command while Spock investigates.
July 2371--STAR TREK: GENERATIONS--Picard enters the nexus and pulls Kirk out to help him save his crew and billions of people. Kirk is apparently killed, but he will later turn up alive.
2371 to Unknown--STAR TREK: VOYAGER--The crew of the Voyager were fighting with a group of rebel bandits, when both groups are transported to the far side of the Delta Quadrant. Many on both sides are killed, and the two crew join together to find a way home.
2371--STAR TREK: VOYAGER--"The 37s"--The Voyager crew discovers Amelia Earhart in cryostasis in the Delta Zone. Apparently she was abducted. However, it's possible that this is a duplicate created during the transportation process. There have been several different explanations discovered in the TVCU for what happened to her. Note that INDIANA JONES, THE SHADOW, and DOC DARE also met Earhart.
October 2373--STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT--Several ships defend Earth against the Borg, including the U.S.S. Thunderchild, named for the ship that defended Great Britain during the 1898 WAR OF THE WORLDS.
October 2373--SECOND CONTACT--While returning home from the events of FIRST CONTACT, the Enterprise is thrown back in time and to the alternate reality of the Marvel Universe. They end up in an ambiguous time period "sometime in the past decade" where they encounter the X-Men.
September 2374--PLANET X--The Enterprise crew again meet the X-Men from the Marvel Universe.
September 2374--STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE--"Millennium Trilogy"--The first time there is a connection made that the aliens from X-FILES and many other films and TV series are called the Reticuii.
December 2374--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--"The Battle of Betazed"--The U.S.S. Nautilus is mentioned, which is of course named after Captain Nemo's legendary vessel.
Early March 2375--STAR TREK: INSURRECTION--Picard and crew help save a race from the Federation.
April 2375--PRESERVER--The Reticulans are mentioned again. T'Serl also claims to be a descendant of Sherlock Holmes. Apparently, Vulcans only have sex with humans that have Holmes blood. It's only logical.
October 2375--STAR TREK: VOYAGER--"Relativity"--The plaque on the 29th century time-vessel Relativity reads: "The only reason for time is so everything doesn't happen at once." It's clear that Buckaroo Banzai may be legendary in our time, but clearly by the 24th century, he is considered one of the greatest men of history, and this must continue on even until the 29th century. (I don't know of any 30th/31st century references...yet.) The timeship is a Wells class ship, named for H.G. Wells, who chronicled the lives of many amazing people, and had his own amazing adventures as well, as did his sister.
November 2375--STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION--Immortal Coil--The immortal Flint is posing as Dr. Emil Vaslovik. This was a robot from the QUESTOR TAPES. Perhaps Flint knew Vaslovik.
2380--STAR TREK: TALES FROM THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE--"Improvisations on the Opal Sea: A Tale of Dubious Credibility"--There is a Shaltoonian linlovar, which is some type of musical instrument. What matters is that Shaltoon will appear again in VENUS ON THE HALF-SHELL some 600 + years later.
2380--STAR TREK: NEMESIS--Picard battles a bad guy.
2387--STAR TREK--Romulus is destroyed, and a villain blames Spock. He chases Spock into the past, but they are shifted to an alternate reality, which I call the TVCU2. This would be the home reality of remakes of original TVCU events. This is the home, for instance, of the remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. So there was not altering of time. They simply shifted to the past of another reality where they were meant to go. The villain appears first, in 2233, where he causes the death of Kirk's father. Note this film has the drink called Slusho, which has also appeared in ALIAS, HEROES, FRINGE, and COVERFIELD. Obviously the drink exists in both realities. Those three shows likely happened in both universes. CLOVERFIELD did not happen in the TVCU, but likely did happen in TVCU2.
2395--BORG WAR--It's 17 years after the return of Voyager. The Alpha quadrant has been preparing for the return of the Borg, primarily by investing massive R&D in offensive and defensive weaponry. During the long peace, the Federation/Klingon alliance has been wearing thin, with the younger factions seeking a return to the old ways. Meanwhile, the Federation, taking advantage of a détente with the Romulans, have cautiously begun to work to with them on "holocloak" technology -- a combination of a "holodeck" and a cloaking device. Technically, this is a violation of the treaty of Algeron, which forbids the Federation the use of cloaking technology. While the treaty is technically between the Federation and the Romulans, the Federation's willingness to forgo cloaking is a linchpin of the Federation/Klingon alliance. The consensus at Starfleet is that the free races of the Alpha quadrant must work together if the next Borg invasion is to be successfully repelled...Written by Geoffrey James
ALTERNATE REALITIES:
BONGO UNIVERSE--A version of Star Trek exists in the Bongo Universe, and it's also a show. (But that's also true in the TVCU.)
THE DOCTOR AND THE ENTERPRISE: This is a reality in which the Doctor met the crew of the Enterprise (from STAR TREK) and visited a planet from the DARKOVER series. Star Trek is in the TVCU, and certainly a version could exist in the Whoniverse. Additionally, the Doctor exists in the Whoniverse and the TVCU. However, in Win Scott Eckert's CROSSOVERS: A SECRET CHRONOLOGY OF THE WORLD, he places this story outside the Crossover Universe and the Doctor Who Universe and in it's own AU. Additonally, tardis.wikia.com also considers this to be outside Doctor Who canon. Thus, respecting those two sources as experts in this area, I place this also in it's own universe. Note though that as far as I know, this is the only crossover involving the Darkover series. So this may the main reality of the entire canon of that series.
DOCTOR WHO UNIVERSE--3,002,385--RED DWARF--"Psirens"--In a ship graveyard is a Weyland-Utani ship. Weyland-Utani is from ALIEN. Weyland-Utani appears also in the TVCU, but considering that the Star Trek future is the main future timeline of the TVCU, it's possible that the future timeline of Alien occurs in the Whoniverse. Weyland-Utani is mentioned on Angel, however that is in the TVCU. In this episode an Eagle ship from SPACE: 1999 also appears, but that show does not work in either the TVCU or the Whoniverse. It's likely either a wormhole pulled the ship from an alternate universe or else this type of ship still existed in the Whoniverse. Also in the graveyard is a Klingon Bird of Prey. Sure, this could have been pulled from the TVCU, but I don't see why Klingons wouldn't also exist in the Doctor Who Universe.
LOONIVERSE--The Looniverse has it's own counterparts of Star Trek as seen in TINY TOON ADVENTURES.
MIRROR UNIVERSE: This is the reality where the Federation didn't happen, but instead an empire was formed. In the 24th century, many non-human races formed an alliance. But wait, there's more. George Bailey was never born in this universe. Buffy Summers went to Cleveland after Los Angeles rather than straight to Sunnydale. Instead of a Justice League, there is a Crime Syndicate. Lex Luthor is a hero. Cobra temporarily conquered America. Basically any alternate version of TVCU events where the world went wrong instead of right occurs here. This universe factored heavily also in the last few seasons of Charmed, and it's appeared many times, such in any "world where I wasn't born or made the wrong choice" type realities. Even that Friends episode where Chandler was Joey's personal assistant, Ross never got divorced, Phoebe was a businesswoman, Rachel married the dentist, and Monica was still fat.
NOT ANOTHER SPOOF MOVIE UNIVERSE--In LOADED WEAPON 1, Scotty has somehow made his way back in time but continues to work as an engineer.
ROBOT CHICKEN UNIVERSE--Of course.
SKITLANDIA--In this reality, Picard commands a starship which is a cruise ship for those looking for love. There are different versions of Star Trek, such as depicted on IN LIVING COLOR, LITTLE BRITAIN, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, 1996 MTV MOVIE AWARDS, COMIC RELIEF VI, TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO, and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
STONE TREK UNIVERSE--Stone Trek is an internet-based Flash animated cartoon series that presents episodes of Star Trek as it might have appeared in the universe of The Flintstones, complete with 1960s style laugh tracks and Hanna-Barbera cartoon sound effects.
STAR WRECK UNIVERSE--Star Wreck is a series of Finnish Star Trek parody movies started by Samuli Torssonen in 1992.[1] The first movie, simply named Star Wreck, was a simple Star Control-like animation with three ships shooting at each other, but later movies featured 3D CGI, animated characters and, in the latest films, live actors. Often Star Wreck is used to refer to the latest and most popular film Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning. Star Wreck relates the adventures of James B. Pirk (named after the Star Trek character James T. Kirk), Captain of the starship C.P.P. Potkustartti (English C.P.P. Kickstart). Other characters include Mr. Fukov, Mr. Spook (Finnish: Mr. Spökö), Mr. Dwarf (Wuf), Ensign Shitty and Mr. Info (loosely based, respectively, on Star Trek's Pavel Chekov, Mr. Spock, Worf, Scotty, and Data). The characters speak Finnish, but subtitles in various languages, including Klingon, are available.
Final notes: Just wanted to make it clear that I relied heavily on the work of Win Scott Eckert from his Crossover Chronology, his Star Trek Chronology, and his book, Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World. First, as I've often stated, his work is the roots that I build off of. Second, I didn't feel like reinventing the wheel, and thus much of the cited events come from researching his work, and then I built off of that.
Finally, live long and prosper.
Another smashing post, Robert.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I really must find and read "Research", it sounds fascinating (to borrow a phrase).
I gotta ask, what exactly is up with this "Derek Leech" character? Some Googling reveals that he's a Kim Newman character, but turns up nothing about what he's got against Captain Kirk, and neither you nor Crossovers cites the story this tidbit came from.
The Green Lantern Vulcan made me smile, as the GLC is particularly topical just now. It's probably outside the scope of this particular blog, but I bet there's some interesting research to be done compiling all the various 'Lawyer-Friendly' Lantern cameos. He'd be a great profile picture for the Facebook group, too.
Finally, in the "pedantic corrections" department I'll just note that in 2063 Dr. Cochrane broke the light barrier, not the sound barrier.
I got my info from Crossovers on the Derek Leech info, so that's all I know.
ReplyDeleteThe Vulcan GL is the crossover pic for the Crossovers Facebook Fan Page.
And yeah, I mean light barrier. Wouldn't be that spectacular if he just broke the sound barrier again. LOL
