It would appear that the line from Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor to Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday in "Space Babies" wasn't a throw-away line. Ruby notes that the TARDIS had landed indoors, adding, "Is that like a matter transporter, like in 'Star Trek?'" With that question, the Doctor opened the door to a hundred more years of fanfic: "We've got to visit them one day!" Well, it's not an on-screen crossover (not yet?), but a huge panel event and experience was announced earlier today that will bring "Star Trek" and "Doctor Who" fans together in a big way. To kick start the inaugural Intergalactic Friendship Day (aligned with International Friendship Day) and to spotlight the franchises' shared values of friendship, hope, and fandom, Alex Kurtzman ("Star Trek") and Russell T. Davies ("Doctor Who") are taking part in a one-on-one conversation about the creative process, their franchise's respective fandoms, and much more. As we mentioned before, that's just to kick things off – here are the details on the Kurtzman/Davies panel and more intel on the "Friendship is Universal" Gallery Experience:
