OR:

Several characters within the '' Star Trek'' franchise, primary and secondary, often made crossover appearances between one series and another. This included appearances of established characters on premiere episodes of new series, a few long-term transfers from one series to another, and even crossovers between ''Trek'' films and television. A few crossover appearances, such as that of Spock on '' The Next Generation'' and the time-travel of the crew of '' Deep Space Nine'' to the era of ''

Episodes and films focused on crossovers


Television-to-television crossover

An especially significant crossover is Spock's appearance on the two-part ''Next Generation'' episode " Unification". Spock meets Data and they exchange opinions on the relative value of logic and emotion, and share mutual impressions of ''Next Generation''s Captain Picard (who for Spock is a model of logical behavior, and for Data is a model of what it means to be human). Critics such as Ina Rae Hark have noted this encounter between two non-human characters in which they summarize their contrasting attitudes to humanity, Data embodying Spock's ideal of pure logic, while Data aspires to be more human. Scotty appears in TNG Season 6, Episode 4 "

) appears in both new and archival footage. The episode was designed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the original series. Critic Matthew Kappell notes that the new episode simultaneously "parodies and valorizes" the original series, highlighting the discontinuities between two eras of ''Trek'' while trying simultaneously to weave them together. William Riker and Deanna Troi from ''The Next Generation'' appear in a flash-forward to the future in " These Are the Voyages...", the final episode of ''Enterprise''. This episode was widely criticized by both cast members and fans for playing more like a ''Next Generation'' episode to the point of being an inappropriate wrap-up for the series. '' Strange New Worlds'' episode " Those Old Scientists" features live-action appearances of Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler from the animated '' Lower Decks'' series.


Film-to-television crossover

In the ''Voyager'' episode " Flashback", events from the film ''Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'' (1991) play a pivotal role, and are reenacted with the same actors, thus allowing George Takei to reprise his role as

was on Sulu's ship ''Excelsior'' at the time. Critic Lincoln Geraghty cites this as an example of ''Star Trek''s ongoing propensity for reverential recognition of earlier versions of the series. In bit of rather glaring discontinuity, the character of Lieutenant Dimitri Valtane is shown to be both alive at the end of the film and dead in the episode. Actor Tim Russ, who portrayed Tuvok, also made an appearance as a bridge officer from the same fictional time period, serving on the ''Enterprise''-B in the feature film

Characters more prominent on subsequent series

A few occasional recurring characters introduced in one series continued into other series, sometimes attaining more significant roles in their subsequent ''Trek'' series than in the one in which they were first introduced: * Spock's father
Sarek Sarek is a fictional character in the ''Star Trek'' media franchise. He is a Vulcan astrophysicist, the Vulcan ambassador to the United Federation of Planets, and father of Spock. The character was originally played by Mark Lenard in the e ...
appeared in only one episode of the original series, but became a more developed character in three movies and appeared in the ''Next Generation'' episode named after him and the first part of "Unification". Sarek's appearance in the former is described in ''The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion'' as "the first major unifying event tying together the old and new Trek eras since McCoy's cameo" in the original series. Sarek later appeared in '' Star Trek: Discovery''. * Recurring character Q, originally introduced in the premiere episode of ''Next Generation'', continued to appear in episodes of ''Deep Space Nine'', ''Voyager'', ''Lower Decks'' and ''Picard''. Teleplay writer Robert Wolfe found it difficult to incorporate Q into the ''DS9'' universe as the character had been conceived so much as a foil for Captain Picard. He eventually decided to use Q to show personality differences between Picard and Sisko. It was also difficult to decide how to introduce Q into ''Voyager'', as it was necessary to explain why Q did not return the ship to Federation territory. * Although appearing in only five episodes of ''The Next Generation'' and six episodes of ''Voyager'', the character of
Reginald Barclay Reginald Endicott Barclay III is a fictional engineer from the ''Star Trek'' media franchise. On television and in film, he has been portrayed by Dwight Schultz since the character's introduction in the '' Star Trek: The Next Generation'' th ...
became quite pivotal to the story-arc of the final season of ''Voyager'', significantly contributing to the reestablishment of contact between the ship ''Voyager'' and the Federation. Barclay also appears in a cameo role in the eighth movie in the film series, '' Star Trek: First Contact''. * Three Klingon characters from separate individual episodes of the original series, Kor, Koloth and Kang, all appear in the ''Deep Space Nine'' episode " Blood Oath", and Kor further appeared in ''DS9'' episodes " The Sword of Kahless" and " Once More Unto the Breach". Crew members who worked on "Blood Oath" felt that a "special connection" was being made to the original series. Kang made an additional cameo appearance on ''Voyager'', verbally dueling with Captain Sulu in a brief scene of the episode "Flashback". * The two Ferengi, Arridor and Kol, were minor characters in the ''TNG'' episode " The Price" but were the principal antagonists in the ''Voyager'' episode "

Their role in ''Deep Space Nine'' was limited to an appearance in the premiere episode to explore Benjamin Sisko's troubled past (his wife having been killed in a major confrontation with the Borg), while their role in the ''Enterprise'' episode " Regeneration" served as a 'sequel' to ''Star Trek: First Contact'', as an archaeological expedition discovers the remains of the time-travelling Borg sphere that was destroyed in ''First Contact'' and unwittingly reactivate a pair of Borg drones. However, the Borg became a recurring threat on ''Voyager''. One crossover character was the
