The 1960s marked a significant shift in popular science fiction with the debut of Doctor Who and Star Trek. These franchises share an intertwined legacy, having crossed paths in comic books and video games but not yet on screen until now. In Strange New Worlds Season 3, the USS Enterprise encounters a Type-40 TARDIS, representing a long-standing admiration between the two series. Social media highlighted this connection, suggesting mutual respect between both fan bases, evidenced by past inside references in Doctor Who regarding Star Trek.
In the sixth episode of Strange New Worlds Season 3, the famous spaceship from Doctor Who is tangled with the USS Enterprise, signifying a cross-franchise Easter egg.
Several fans pointed out that the Type-40 TARDIS can be seen next to the Enterprise, embodying a tradition of affection between Doctor Who and Star Trek franchises.
