I probably don’t have to ask this, but what happens to the 1986 “comedy” film Soul Man ITTL?

The Premise is inverted. Picture a film built around this scene but with Isaac Hayes in the Donald Glover role.
Interesting. So what ends up happening to C. Thomas Howell and Rae Dawn Chong ITTL? I can imagine their careers being much better without that movie existing.
Actually both of their careers were barely hurt at all by their appearance in the film. Howell at least has stated he doesn't regret appearing in Soul Man since the film was important to his own development and those of race relations.
Interesting, but I still think personally Soul Man should’ve either never existed or been reworked into a better film. It does a disservice to the 80s by showing it’s darker side (no pun intended) and it’s worst dated tropes.
On a side note, what happens to Sliders ITTL?
Well Soul Man ITTL accomplishes both.
Sliders is going to be replaced by George R.R. Martin's unmade "Doorways" show with alternate history being featured but more of a "Shown their work" approach. Like how Game of Thrones deconstructed the fantasy Genre "Doorways" ITTL would deconstruct the Alternate History Genre. The Confederacy winning but not lasting, the Nazis only delaying their own downfall, Napoleon, Stalin and Hitler are born in different countries but don't turn out exactly the same just in a different country and so on.
Question: Star Trek/Star Wars Crossover When?
I thought I'd introduce a question here. Suppose a Star Wars/Star Trek crossover were to happen. When would you prefer it occur.
The late 1980's, most likely featuring the older Original Series crew and the Original Trilogy crew still in their prime.
Sometime in the 1990's, featuring The Next Generation crew and the Original Series since they were still appearing in films at this time and the Original Trilogy class prior to a Sequel Trilogy in 1997.
The Late 2010's. OTL many actors were calling for it to be made now including Leonard Nimoy telling JJ Abrams to just make the crossover already. "It's time. You've worked on both. I'm not getting any younger. Make Star Wars meets Star Trek already". A twitter conversation between Shatner and Carrie Fisher and Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill having a conversation about what it would be like after their Uber Eats Commercials together. If made this would still be the Original Trilogy characters, though they would be much older, possibly with heavy use of de aging. This version would also likely focus on the Next Generation cast more than the Original Series cast due the age ages of the former by this time.
Of course there's also the possible stance that the two are too different to crossover at all.
I chose to do it this way since the question is multiple choice if anyone offers suggestions outside this range.

Star Trek: Generations(1996)
Star Trek: Generations
Before we jump into the films of the Next Generation, let us briefly touch on the films that were not made and why.
William Shatner proposed the idea of the Enterprise travelling to the center of the universe to meet God, which was then revealed to be Satan. McCoy was supposed to die only for Kirk to go into Hell itself to get him back.
Why was this rejected" Well to everyone else involved it was seen as the Peak of Shatner's ego to have him beat Satan himself and after five seasons, a Miniseries and three films the idea was rejected outright. The Argument made was that it didn't feel very Star Trek. Rewrites to it just seemed to make it worse, convincing the staff that the concept shouldn't be used. Another element is an episode had been made that featured the Enterprise going to the center of the universe and finding Satan, only to reveal him to be a misunderstood alien who rebelled and was exiled(not an uncommon concept for Star Trek to reveal Gods were actually aliens) so having Satan or even God would contradict this(OTL the episode was from the Star Trek Animated Series, which itself included episodes not made for the Star Trek show, with the show lasting longer the episode was made in live action).
Another element that was more liked from the pitch was the idea of Spock's brother, Sybok, who Shatner wanted Sean Connery to play. Not only was Sean Connery busy with the third Indiana Jones film, but the idea of Spock having a brother was contradicted in the Original Series episode "Yesteryear" where Spock's childhood was explored and so the idea was nixed. Shatner wanted Sybok to have the idea of enlightening people and making them join him including having Spock and McCoy turn on Kirk, who was the only one to be unaffected. Nimoy and Kelley convinced Shatner that this would be out of character for the two after all they'd been through together and it was dropped.
On Top of Sean Connery being unavailable, neither was Industrial Light and Magic who were to do the effects. They were busy balancing the effects for Ghostbusters II, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the Back to the Future films. Instead Apogee Productions was to do the effects, they had worked on the first Star Trek film and Spaceballs but then the film was cancelled, the lackluster effect such as an unconvincing rock monster not helping matters. Another thing that killed the film was Shatner had already directed the previous movie, even if he had been guided through it by Eddie Murphy, so the Directing Bug had been tamed. As per the deal with Nimoy, it would be Nimoy who would direct the next film. His pitch was simple "What if the Wall went down in Space?".
Harve Bennett, producer of the films, also pitched an idea of following how the characters met for the first time with younger actors playing them with a framing device of the original actors remembering. He called it "Top Gun" meets "Police Academy". Not only did executive meddling prevent this but the Original Series cast disliked it and spread news around of it at conventions calling it "The Jetsons" meets "Police Academy" leading to fan backlash that saw its cancellation. Walter Koenig pitched "In Flanders Field" a script which would have killed everyone except for Spock and McCoy, the two known survivors in the TNG era until the episode "Relics" revealed Scotty also survived. The 25th Anniversary of Star Trek was coming up and there was pressure to have a film made by then and a Starfleet Academy idea would be unlikely to get done by then since it would require constructing new sets. It was instead decided to make the film bridge the gap between the Original Series and the Next Generation, the show of which it would be released between the 5th and 6th season.
The Plot
The Film begins with a recreation of the Best of Both Worlds, which is revealed to be a nightmare Picard is having. Picard and his crew receive orders to intercept a Borg vessel attacking the Deep Space Nine Station and Wormhole near it. The ship appears to create a rift in time and pass through with the Enterprise following soon after. Picard's crew are joined by Spock, McCoy and Scotty, all three members of the original crew known to have survived until the TNG era. Spock, sensing the crisis, called and assembled them all together. Spock expresses his belief that the Borg are attempting to interfere in the negotiations between the Federation, the Klingons and the Romulans so that their enemies would not become united against them, undoing their earlier defeats. It is revealed that according to the TNG crew, Kirk died in this encounter.
We then cut to "Past Segments" following the Original Series crew in 2196. Past Spock is performing as Pelonius in a Vulcan version of Hamlet(a Klingon in the audience says the Original Klingon is much better. Chekhov is in the audience and insists its better in the original Russian). Past Scotty is attempting to retrofit Federation Ships with cloaking devices from the wrecks of Romulan ships to no success due to no intact Romulan Bird of Prey being captured. Uhura was hosting a talk show, Chekov is shown to be playing chess with various different alien opponents, one of which is Q, who is confused when he loses, and Past McCoy is teaching a class and hating it.
Kirk is retired and living on the Federation colony of Kudao with Janet Wallace when there is an unexpected attack by Klingons, who kill everyone including Janet with Kirk as the sole survivor. The Klingon Empire claims the attack was by a rogue faction, but Kirk is suspicious. The Excelsior arrives and pursues the Klingon Ship only to disappear, revealing the ship has a cloaking device. Kirk and Spock meet and contact the rest of the crew to come together on the Enterprise, excluding Sulu on the Excelsior. The TNG Enterprise appears in the past and is encountered by the TOS Enterprise before Geordi is able to complete the installing of the cloaking device. This causes the ship to disappear, only making the TOS Enterprise suspicious and a brief chase and battle ensues before Picard hails Kirk and the two Captains of the two Enterprise meet(technically they are the Enterprise A and the Enterprise D, but for simplicity sake they will be referred to be their series in case a non Trekkie is reading this).
After the two crews meet and the past crew is briefed on the situation(including the younger versions of the characters meeting the three survivors of the TOS era, with Scotty being surprised how well he aged and Spock being not surprised in the slightest. This allowed for long awaited and amusing interactions between the two casts. Kirk and Picard decided to go through with the negotiations as though the TNG Enterprise crew never arrived, which would drive out the Borg. The Peacetalks between the Federation, Romulans and Klingons go through. That night, to the surprise of both Enterprise crews, the Klingons, including Chancellor Gorkon are attacked and killed by two men from the TOS Enterprise(the TNG Enterprise remaining cloaked). Before Gorkon dies he makes a Klingon with him, one of Worf's ancestors, promise to see to it that the Peace is maintained between the Klingons and the Federation. The TNG Enterprise is surprised as the assault did not happen in the original history. Kirk willingly goes with the Klingons as a prisoner. Worf's ancestor goes with him to serve as his attorney. The TNG Enterprise crew reveal that General Chang in the original timeline launched a failed attempt to sabotage the peace talks but was thwarted. They are called away when they overhear distress signals. The Borg were discovered and are attacking the TOS era Federation.
The plot once more splits in two. The first part following the TOS crew uncovering the conspiracy while the TNG Crew engage in a prolonged battle with the Borg. During Kirk's trial, a private Captain's Log where he expressed is hatred for Klingons.
The TOS crew draw out the conspirators responsible, finding two men dead and set a trap in which M'Benga is revealed to be a traitor. Her motivations are out of anger, due to losing David Wallace to the Romulans, only for Chang to kill the Klingon commander as well. Spock mind melds with her to learn the extent of the conspiracy. The TOS Enterprise and the Excelsior engage General Chang's Klingon ship, capable of firing while cloaked. The two ships are able to outsmart Chang and destroy his ship, Chang goes down quoting Shakespeare. The TNG Enterprise engages the Borg, which chooses to flee to its own time, forcing the TNG Enterprise after it, as it says farewell to the TOS Enterprise and jumps in. Both battles play out at the same time with the TNG Enterprise shooting down the Borg but being so badly damaged that it is forced to separate, but destroys the Borg Cube before crashing onto Earth's surface. Kirk and crew interrupt an attempted assassination at the United Federation Headquarters, where Kirk takes the bullet for Worf's ancestor and is shot. He dies in Spock's arms surrounded by the Enterprise crew.
In the present, Picard looks over the remains of the TNG Enterprise for the final time, saying goodbye while musing that the ship likely won't be the last to carry the name Enterprise.
Notes
Weirdly, Geekhis Khan on A Hippie in the House of Mouse also had the idea to combine these three films. I didn't really intend to go in this direction but Star Trek 6: An Undiscovered Country couldn't be made in the same way since peace was already established in the TOS Series finale. The Episode Yesterday's Enterprise also had one idea of using that episode to crossover the two Enterprises. With that episode receiving it's original plot, the idea is still there to do in Generations, then you have the difficulty of time travel being used three times so First Contact is thrown in. After that it's in for a penny in for a pound. So yeah, credit to Geekhis Khan on this one, though with a few plot differences. Honestly I'm posting this now as I'm working on my version of Deep Space Nine and this was taking up room. I should mention just as a tease that after Voyager my planned Series is a Combination of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Kelvin Timeline, and Star Trek: Discovery. Similarly my plan is to combine The Orville with Star Trek: Lower Decks, turning it into the animated love child of Seth McFarlane's shows and Rick and Morty. So yeah I would've ended up combining stuff anyway.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine(1996-2003)
Deep Space Nine(1996-2003)
Deep Space Nine was the brainchild of Brandon Tartikoff during his time at Desilu. If Star Trek was the Space Equivalent to Wagon Train then Deep Space Nine was the equivalent to the Rifleman, a show set in a stationary town. Originally the idea of Deep Space Nine was to have the series be set on the planet of Bajor. It changed to be the Space Station Deep Space Nine, which was centuries old and modified by many different races. If the stationary premise alienated fans then the Space Station would be pulled through the wormhole near it or drift through space. Deep Space Nine was also capable of exploring by sending the smaller ship, the Valiant, into the wormhole(OTL the Valiant became the Defiant to avoid confusion with Voyager, which does not yet exist ITTL, allowing the name to be used). The end of The Next Generation in 1994 meant there would be no Star Trek show on at the time of the 20th anniversary and Deep Space Nine was greenlit to fill that gap.
It was decided against making the Borg the main villains of the show, due to the fear of oversaturation, the show sharing some of the same staff from TNG. Romulans and Klingons were also considered. It was Ronald D.Moore's idea to reintroduce the Tholians from the iconic Star Trek episode "The Tholian Web". Paradoxically, Moore and the staff were hesitant to bring back aliens from the TOS era but made an exception for the Andorians. Over time the new antagonists would be introduced in the Dominion.

Casting
When it came down to casting there was one solid original choice for the Captain, Richard Dean Anderson, McGuyver as Benjamin Sisko(He was the OTL first choice. I chose him because this would purposefully cause butterflies for Stargate SG1). However, even with his casting there were still over 100 auditions, beating out all the contestants were Avery Brooks and James Earle Jones. Brooks won a second role in the series while Jones would play his grandfather.
Robert Patrick was cast as Odo(OTL considered but rejected due to being considered too similar to his role as the T-1000), Alexander Siddig was cast as Julian Bashir, Tim Blake Nelson was cast as the comic relief character Quark. Famke Janssen was cast as Jadiza Dax. and given prosthetic makeup similar to the character of Odan. Dax was also mentioned as being from a world with lower gravity and so could in her own quarters fly through the air due to adjusted gravity. Kathy Bates was cast as Kai Opaka(Who's role was similar to Guinan in TNG).
Returning characters from The Next Generation include Ro Laren(played by Michelle Forbes) and Marc Alaimo as the Cardassian Gul Macet(OTL the Cardassian character Dukat was intended to be a member of the main cast with the actor's support for this idea but the studio said no. Alaimo previously played the Cardassian Macet in the TNG Episode "The Wounded", also cautiously working with the Federation there, which translates well to Deep Space Nine and provides a loophole of sorts).
J Michael Staczynski made a cameo on the show as a way of paying back Majel Barett and Walter Koenig guest starring on his own Babylon 5.

Season One(1996-1997)
The Series begins appearing to follow Captain Holland(Richard Dean Anderson) before he is suddenly killed in the Battle of Wolf 359, leaving Sisko among the survivors and the new Captain. Brooks's physical appearance changed throughout the show. He began with a full head of hair but later shaved and grew out a beard around the same time as the show progressed into darker and more serialized storylines. This has led to the coining of the term "Growing the Beard" for when a show finds its footing.
Episode 6 is the 30th Anniversary Special. The staff had difficulty deciding what to do. It was considered to do an episode where the DS9 crew time travelled to an original series episode but this was dropped as Star Trek: Generations was also doing time travel. Ultimately two ideas were combined. The first brought back Charlie X from the Episode of the same name, played once more by Robert Walker, it being revealed he had become a member of the Q Continuum. He had taken over the Gangster Timeline from the TOS Episode "The Syndicate" and is forcing them to emulate the TOS Era Federation. His godly powers has led to him recreating younger versions of the TOS crew(created via some impressive for the time special effects)(OTL the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations came out because Charles Bill Darvin happened to be ordering a slice of Pizza where the DS9 staff was eating. A set of circumstances far too improbable to happen ITTL).
Episode 7, has the appearance of Q, who visits Deep Space Nine once and only once, presumably because Sisko punched him in the face.
Episode 10, "Birthright" is a two part crossover with the Next Generation, having characters from TNG including Worf and Data appear with Dax working alongside Data. The Episode deals with Worf and Data finding evidence that both of their fathers are alive while stationed at Deep Space Nine. This turns out to be a trap which the duo escape. Long time Star Trek fan Terry Farrell appears(OTL this episode was a TNG Episode, but due to Deep Space Nine being pushed back. It now replaces the episode "Move Along Home" which also happens to be one of the worst episodes of the show).

Episode 23 "Crossover" was the first Mirror Universe episode of Deep Space Nine. Leonard Nimoy, Michael Dorn, William Shatner, Patrick Bachau and other guest stars. The plot revolves around an effort by The Mirror Universe Picard to rescue Mirror Universe Kirk after learning where he is being held. Both Mirror Spock and Mirror Worf are attempting to stop the rescue. The Series would revisit the Mirror Universe several times.
Episode 26, "introduced the Dominion. Sisko, Jake, Nog and Quark go camping. They find Eris(Molly Hagan) fleeing from the Jem'Hadar, a member of the Dominion, an anti-Federation faction. Eris is revealed to have actually been a Dominion spy(unlike OTL, the Dominion is very similar to the Federation in terms of the member species being equal but they believe in conquest and expansion rather than exploration). Among the Species of the Dominion are the Cardassians, the Breen and the Vorta, who are a race of arms dealers supplying tanks and guns to the Dominions as well as genetically engineered soldiers called the while the Vorta themselves were bred from hatcheries.

Season Three(1998-1999)
The Season Premiere two parter "The Search" introduced T'Rul(played by Martha Hackett), a Romulan woman tasked by the Romulan Empire to supervise the Defiant's Cloaking Device. It also featured the return of Molly Hagan's Eris.
Epsiode 5 "Second Skin" implies that Kira is actually a Cardassian Spy that was given false memories of the real Kira with Bashir being unable to confirm whether they are Cardasian or Bajorian, leaving the answer to that question open ended,
Episode 11 "Past Tense" features some of the cast being sent back in time to 2024, where they debate if they should prevent a riot that would lead to many deaths but have positive effects in the future. Iggy Pop guest stars.
The Season Finale is the Episode "Homefront" which has the Founders instigating a near civil War with the Vulcans seceding from the Federation after a Starfleet Vessel is framed for firing on a Vulcan transport in Earth's orbit.

Season Five(2000-2001)
Episode 2 "The Ship" featured the return of Moll Hagan's Eris.
Episode 18 "Business as Usual" featured Malcolm McDowell as a guest star, playing weapons dealer Hagath(OTL McDowell agreed to only guest star if his nephew Alexander Siddig wrote an episode. Since Siddig is not playing Bashir he does not make this request. This also butterflies away the episode "Profit and Lace", considered one of the worst episodes and also directed by Siddig).

Season Six(2001-2002)
A Domino effect occurs in the season premiere in which Kira, Garak and Odo travel to Cardassia. Odo searched for a cure for the disease inecting the changelings, discovering his "father" Dr.Mora created it as a weapon, with Mora becoming an antagonist to Odo.
Episode 7 "You are Cordially Invited" introduces the occasionally appearing crew of the USS Sutherland, many of which practice Hawaiian and or Polynesian traditions.
Episode 14, "One Little Ship" introduced the Jem'Hadar civil war between the Gamma Quadrant Jem'Hadar and the new "Alpha" Jem'Hadar.
Episode 18 "Inquisition" introduces both the covert Section 13 and recurring antagonist Luthor Sloan(played by Martin Sheen).
Episode 16 "Change of Heart" killed off Jadzia Dax. Jadzia convinced Worf to continue their mission without her, leaving he rbehind to die and giving Worf more anguish.
Episode 19 "In the Pale Moonlight" is seen as one of the best episodes. Sisko enlists Garak's help in forging evidence that the Dominion is plotting against the Romulans. This is discovered by the Romulan Senator who inspects it with the Senator planning to expose the deception only for his ship to be destroyed. The recovered forged evidence therefore brings the Romulans into the war as Garak planned. This forces Sisko to have to live with the deception and he deletes his captain log at the end of the episode. Seemingly erasing all evidence.
The Episode had a sequel or sorts. It begins with Jake trying to interview Cardassian Garak only to be blown off. Jake unintentionally discovers Garak and Sisko's plot that tricked the Romulans and threatens to expose it with Sisko trying to talk him out of it. Then the Dominion take over Vulcan(OTL the idea was nixed as it would have given Sisko justification for his later actions. Ironically, OTL Abrams would later destroy Vulcan for the same reason Ron Moore did not, to show things were serious).Sisko uses this to justify the need for more allies in the war.
Episode 20 "His Way" introduces the hologram Vic Fontaine(played by Frank Sinatra Jr, who requested the character be changed to not be a carbon copy of his father). Fontaine is made aware he is a hologram and is later seen gaining a holographic girlfriend.
Episode 22 is titled "Defiant"(due to the name Valiant being used for OTL's Defiant, resulting in a swap) and concerns a ship piloted by cadets after most of the crew was killed except, with Jake and Nog forced to become the responsible ones and attempt to prevent the Defiant from foolishly engaging a far stronger Dominion ship.
Episode 7 "You are Cordially Invited" introduces the occasionally appearing crew of the USS Sutherland, many of which practice Hawaiian and or Polynesian traditions.
Episode 14, "One Little Ship" introduced the Jem'Hadar civil war between the Gamma Quadrant Jem'Hadar and the new "Alpha" Jem'Hadar.

Season Seven(2002-2003)
Episode 5, Chrysalis, has the character of Sarina be injured and then be healed. It was originally to be Jack, that was going to be healed but this was removed as it sent the unintentional message that crippled people needed to be cured.
Episode 14 "Chimera" introduced the two time recurring character of Laas, a Changeling who contracts the Changeling disease after linking with Odo.
Episode 25 and 26, "What you leave behind" included an appearance in flashbacks by Jadzia Drax, alongside Ezri.
In the Finale and conclusion of the War with the Domion. One of the elements wrapped up is the Bajoran prophecy around Sisko. The Prophecy stated that Sisko would "find no peace on Bajor". Sisko saves Bajor but is banished from there, thus being unable to fulfill his dream of retiring there. Jadzia appears in the montage in the finale.

A Very Potter Musical(2009-2012)
While touching up the Harry Potter chapter due to suggestions by the Detailer. I decided to give this its own entry, due to it being a fan project rather than directly connected to Harry Potter.
A Very Potter Musical(2009)
During the time of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Nick Landis, a student at the University of Michigan, was inspired by a scene of Malfoy bullying Hermione with what seemed like romantic subtext, leading him to write the song "Granger Danger" and pitched the idea of a Harry Potter musical to his friends. They asked Darren Criss if they could use his music and he agreed, along with agreeing to play Harry Potter. Through Criss, Michael Jackson, a fan of the series, also became involved in the production having been interested for some time(OTL JK Rowling shot down his idea of a Harry Potter Musical). Jackson wrote some of the music and performed as Voldemort. Due to Jackson's busy schedule he only played Voldemort once, but the performance was recorded and put on Youtube, becoming a sensation. The newly formed company Starkid would go onto create many more comedic musicals from this experience including a sequel to the musical made in 2012 upon the conclusion of the films: A Very Potter Sequel.
Plot
Act I
Harry Potter is excited to return to Hogwarts, learning he must compete in a House Cup tournament along with one selected student from each house including Harry(Gryffindor) Hermione(Ravenclaw), Cedric Diggory(Hufflepuff), and Draco Malfoy(Slytherin). Malfoy tries and fails to bully Harry, secretly singing about his desire to transfer to a school on Mars called Pigfarts with a Lion headmaster named Rumbleroar which only he believes exists. Everyone else believing he's making it up. Hermione also sings about her secret crush on Harry., who is in love with another student Zhung. Professor Quirrell is revealed to be plotting to revive Voldemort(played by an unseen Michael Jackson), which is bonded to the back of his head. Harry competes in the House Cup in which he defeats a dragon by serenading it. A Yule Ball dance is held in which the song "Granger Danger" is performed as Ron and Malfoy fight over Hermione. Harry and Cedric Diggory fight over Zhung and both grab a ladle Quirrell planted at the same time and are teleported to a graveyard.
In this graveyard, Voldemort's followers arrive, kill Credric Diggory and revive him using Harry's blood. This causes Voldemort(now fully played by Michael Jackson) to emerge from the Cauldron. Bellatrix Lestrange reveals their plan to kill Harry and frame Quirrell, causing Quirrell to feel betrayed as he and Voldemort were becoming friends and he runs off crying. Harry escapes by grabbing the Laddle, arriving back at Hogwarts and screaming that Voldemort is back.
"You know, I'm Bad. I'm Bad. I'm Really Really Bad."
"And the Whole World has to answer right now."
"Just to tell you once again."
"Who's Bad?"
-Lord Voldemort
Act II
The Ministry of Magic refuses to believe Voldemort is back. Despite him being on tour and singing about how he's back. Malfoy tries to be friends with Harry but is yelled at by him. Malfoy in sadness is introduced by Snape to Voldemort, and is forced into being promised to kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore informs Harry of Voldemort's Horcruxes, of which Dumbledore has destroyed five out of six. Malfoy confronts Dumbledore but is unable to kill him and Snape kills Dumbledore instead in front of Harry. Voldemort takes over the ministry but still misses Quirrell. Harry is reassured by Hermione to keep fighting with the help of his friends and the two kiss. Harry, Ron, and Malfoy discover that the Horcrux is Voldemort's picture of Zac Efron and destroy it after it tries to fight back(Michael Jackson sticks his head out through it in this scene to symbolize this). Snape reveals himself as Dumbledore's mole before the Death Eaters arrive and Bellatrix kills Snape but as he dies he reveals Harry himself became a Horcrux the night his parents died.Realizing he must die, Harry says goodbye and goes to confront Voldemort, who shoots and kills him. As he dies he meets Dumbledore in a white void, who encourages him to keep fighting before departing on the back of Rumbleroar to Pigfarts. Meanwhile, Harry's friends decide to continue fighting despite his death, motivated by Neville Longbottom. Harry returns and fights Voldemort, repelling his own spell back at him and killing him. In Azkaban, Quirrell is sad to hear about Vodlemort's death until his ghost appears before him, the two happily reunited.
A Very Potter Prequel(2010)

Star Trek: Voyager(2006-2013)
Star Trek: Voyager(2006-2013)
Voyager was the first Star Trek show of the new Millennium. To differentiate it from previous shows, the premise would center on a Federation ship that is stranded in a distant part of the galaxy and now needs to return to Federation Space.
The Series creates a growing sense of desperation. The cast members who began to gain focus as the cast grew were far from the more common idea of Starfleet members with Seska (Martha Hackett), Michael Jonas (Rafael Sbarge), and Lon Suder (Brad Dourif), as the crew continues to dwindle(basically as per the wishes of Braga, the entire series is in the tone of "The Year of Hell" where Voyager is trapped in a time loop with limited supplies and crew trying to escape).

Cast
The cast includes the Captain Elizabeth Janeway, played by Linda Hamilton. Geneviève Bujold was originally cast to play the role, but she had never worked on a show before and found it exhausting. Linda Hamilton, another candidate, had worked on shows before and was selected among many others. Janeway was confirmed to be a lesbian which Hamilton supported, though it has little to no bearing on the plot.
The staff wanted a convict character and brought in Ro Laren at first but she didn't want to commit to a series. They instead suggested TNG character Lucarno. Robert Duncan McNeill had played Locarno and returned for the series(OTL Tom Paris was intended to be Lucarno, both played by McNeill. Both have a European City as a last name). Lucarno was attracted to B'Elanna Torres from the first episode and respects Tuvok more than the others. Tuvok is 160 years old and is a grandfather who misses his family greatly and he serves as a fatherly figure towards B'Elanna.
Chakotay was given a scene in which he performs a ritual of his people in the Holodeck. The portrayal of Native American culture was praised on the show. Harry Kim, by contrast was a character of Japanese descent that becomes interested in looking into his routes through Chakotay's connection to his. Kim began as an ensign but found himself rapidly promoted due to the unfortunate deaths of his crewmates and the lack of anyone else to fulfill his tasks, making him feel he doesn't deserve them.
For the role of the Doctor, it was originally desired to have a comic relief Doctor. An alien who was a veterinarian forbidden to operate on humanoid life forms. This was deemed too similar to Neelix and was scrapped as it wouldn't make much sense for him not to be qualified. It also would invoke comparisons to Dr.Zoidberg from Futurama(OTL this was the original idea fo Dr.Phlox on Enterprise with the comparison occurring due to the much later production of Voyager, in turn nixing the idea of portraying Neelix as he was OTL). Robert Picardo was cast in the role of the alien Neelix, who it was decided would become the Ship's doctor rather than the Chef. This choice was made after Picardo adlibbed some lines including "I'm a Doctor not a chef " as a reference to the original series(OTL the line "I'm a doctor, not a night light" was ad libbed by Picardo who was unaware of McCoy's catchphrase. ITTL with Star Trek being more popular than he is. Since the ad lib got him to play the Doctor, here it instead leads to the two roles being combined, making him similar to Phlox from Enterprise and less annoying due to Picardo playing him as the Doctor). Neelix is joined by Kes, a much less cynical and cheery member of the Ocampa species, which has a nine year lifespan.

Season One
During the final battle of the Dominion Wars, One ship, the Voyager, is transported to another part of the galaxy during a battle with a Dominion Ship that is also brought along. With the death of most of the crew, the low ranking Elizabeth Janeway is promoted to Captain. The newly made Captain is forced to make the controversial decision to rely on the surviving members of the Dominion ship, who now outnumber the Voyager crew survivors with roughly 200 members. They are both stranded in an areas known as the Badlands. The Members of the Dominion rechristen themselves the Maquis when they join the Voyager crew. Since at Warp Speed it would take 70 years to reach home, their quest is to find a shortcut. Back home the Voyager is falsely believed to be a casualty of the final battle, meaning no one's looking for them. What's worse is Voyager is a combat ship and wasn't built for "Five year Missions".
Episode 5, "The Strange case of Neelix's Lungs" has a plot based around organ trafficking being discovered on the ship due to the large amount of people still injured and the need for healthy organs.
The Season Finale is the episode "the 37" AKA the Episode with Amelia Earheart. In the episode, Earheart is revealed to be among a group of 37 people abducted by aliens along with Harold Holt, D.B.Cooper, Jimmy Hoffa, Theodosia Burr, Michael Rockefeller, and Benjamin Bathhurst among others. Voyager is only able to take some of the people with them due to the aliens who abducted the people returning(OTL this episode was intended to be the Season 1 Finale but was pushed back).

Season Two
"Learning Curve" is a fairly slice of life episode about Tuvok educating members of the Marquis who still distrust Voyager. It does help to introduce a handful of new characters.
Episode 5 "Non Sequitor" Harry Kim finds himself in an alternate reality where he never got on Voyager, arriving there when he was caught in an event while in a Voyager shuttle. Counselor Troi makes an appearance in the alternate reality.
Episode 15, "Threshold" went through several rewrites. The result was a goofy but still fun episode in which Lucarno is subjected to radiation that turns him into a Werewolf like monster that goes on a rampage in the ship before he is cured.
Episode 16 "Meld" has Maquis crew member, Lon Suder begin to murder crew members, revealing his true colors as a psychopath. Tuvok attempts to meld with him in order to discover the location of one of the victims and begins to go insane, including a scene where he appears to kill Neelix only for it to be revealed to be a hologram. Tuvok then steps out and it is revealed there is a long line of people taking turns waiting to kill Neelix in the hologram.
Episode 18 "Death Wish" is the Voyager episode featuring Q. Another member of his species appears, wanting to die and a debate is held over whether or not a being such as a Q should be allowed to die.
Episode 24 "Symbiogenesis" fuses Tuvok and Neelix into one via transporter accident. Given how similar they are this results in an even snarkier being. The show plays out much like a sitcom until he is freed. It even has an opening and set via the Holodeck.
The Season Finale "Basics" had the longtime supporting character Seska finally act on their status as a Cardassian agent and aid the Kazon in taking over the ship. This left only Lon Suder, who in the previous episode "Meld" was revealed to secretly be a psychopathic murderer who killed the crewman and was imprisoned in his quarters. Seska, unaware of Suder's true nature, freed him. Suder went on a killing spree on the ship, including killing Seska's baby with Kazon Maje Cullah. The chaos allowed Voyager's crew to wrestle back control but Seska escaped with a shuttle and a captive Suder, with the implication being he would be tortured to death for killing her baby.
Episode 5 "Non Sequitor" Harry Kim finds himself in an alternate reality where he never got on Voyager, arriving there when he was caught in an event while in a Voyager shuttle. Counselor Troi makes an appearance in the alternate reality.

The Season Finale "Basics" had the longtime supporting character Seska finally act on their status as a Cardassian agent and aid the Kazon in taking over the ship. This left only Lon Suder, who in the previous episode "Meld" was revealed to secretly be a psychopathic murderer who killed the crewman and was imprisoned in his quarters. Seska, unaware of Suder's true nature, freed him. Suder went on a killing spree on the ship, including killing Seska's baby with Kazon Maje Cullah. The chaos allowed Voyager's crew to wrestle back control but Seska escaped with a shuttle and a captive Suder, with the implication being he would be tortured to death for killing her baby.
Season Three
Episode 2 "Flashback" is notable for Tuvok exploring this strange memory he does not remember, causing Janeway to enter his mind and see one of his memories where he is serving on the Excelsior under Captain Sulu during the events of Star Trek: Generations, George Takei returning to play the role.
Episode 8 and 9 comprise "Future's End" which introduced Rain Robinson, played by Sarah Silverman, as a member of the crew. The plot follows Voyager arriving in the 20th century, far too early and doing battle with a time travelling ship.
Episode 20 "Favorite Son" revealed that Kim was actually intended to be an alien spy on Earth, though he rebels against his original purpose. Ironically he was the most determined to return home, yet he was actually not native to Earth.
Episode 21 "Before and After" has Kes be affected by a time based phenomenon which she randomly travels to different times in her own life, including the future, were she sees that Voyager will be attacked by a race called the Krenim, who will launch an attack that will kill Janeway and Torres. Chakotay became Captain with Neelix forced to become Security officer.
The Final Episode of the season was the first part of Scorpion. The Episode would introduce the new character of Seven of Nine and was one of the few appearances of the Borg in the show. Harry Kim was killed off in the episode, after being seriously injured. His actor, Garrett Wang was listed on People's list of 50 most attractive people. Kim would later return as a Borg antagonist with a tongue in cheek line made:
"Captain."
"Kim?"
"I received a promotion."

Season Four
The Second Part of "Scorpion" introduced Seven of Nine, played by Jeri Ryan( far less sexualized ITTL as OTL Producer Rick Berman is not there to force her into wearing a strict corset among other demands). Kim's role was replaced by the newly rescued Seven of Nine, a borg who was serving as the New Borg Queen. Seven of Nine's introduction seen is a fan favorite in which she has difficulty being free after so long and doesn't know how to react when she experiences laughter for the first time, laughing at a comment and then seeming to stop and process it.
Episode 8 "A Year in Hell" finally depicted the events in "Before and After". Kes, seeing the event coming when Voyager is attacked. Is forced to choose between saving Janeway or saving Torres. She chooses Janeway and Torres is killed. Kes, who took the full brunt of the blast, dies shortly afterwards. Kes' choice to save Janeway proved justified as she would prove instrumental in getting the crew home in the finale "Endgame". Voyager is then trapped in a time loop where they die one by one until Janeway, as the sole survivor, destroys the source of the time loop by ramming the ship and rests everything to the moment after Kes's death.

Season Five
Episode 12 "Bride of Chaotica" features a Hologram simulation where Lucarno and Kim imagine themselves as 1930's Serial era style science fiction heroes.
The Season Finale "Equinox" involves Voyager encountering the titular ship, which is under attack by another lifeform.

Season Six
Among the enemies introduced were the Suliban, which were clearly based on the Taliban and there was a built in explanation for their absence until that point in the show. They had been assimilated by the Borg and only recently freed (The Suliban were intended to appear in Voyager and do here due to Voyager coming out in 2006, making the Taliban parallel more apparent, they were conceived as early as 1999 OTL ).
Episode 7 "Dragon's Teeth" introduced a new species called the Vaadwuar. The Vaadwuar are capable of time travelling but refuse to help Voyager, who unintentionally provoke a war with them. The Vaadwaur therefore become the new antagonists up until the Series Finale.
The Season Finale is the two parter "Unimatrix Zero" in which the Borg begin to discover individuality, leading the Voyager crew to attempt to stage a rebellion, which concludes in the Season Premiere. The episode leaves it open ended what will happen, as the Borg become involved in civil war orchestrated by Harry Kim and Seven of Nine.

Season Seven
Episode 24 "Living Witness" is about Neelix being found alive centuries later due to a transporter incident. The species he is found by recall an event in which Voyager is blamed for starting a war and Neelix sets out to clear the slate while also trying to discover what really happened for the parts he wasn't there for due to the transporter incident.
Episode 26, "Endgame" is the series finale. An older Janeway times travel using Vaadwuar technology, helping the Voyager crew of the past steal said technology to allow them to return to Earth with less casualties.

Star Trek: Into Darkness(2003)
Star Trek: Into Darkness(2003)
The film was conceived as a whole plot reference to Heart of Darkness. Picard was placed in the role of Willard and was tasked with hunting down an old friend of his that went rogue, leading to Picard's insurrection. The film was written to also include Sisko and the DS9 cast including Worf, who appeared on both shows. The film puts great emphasis on Sisko still not having forgiven Picard for his actions as Locutus and the two clash many times. The main antagonist was made into an older Admiral who had educated both Picard and Sisko but had lost his mind. This character was Admiral Dougherty, nicknamed "Duffy" by his friends, and he had gone missing some years back before reappearing. Brian Blessed was cast(The OTL choice of Patrick Stewart to play Admiral Dougherty). To add more to the cast, he was given a large alien warrior named Ru'afo, played by Arnold Schwarzenagger. The two antagonists had taken over a planet which contained a type of fountain of Youth effect, which caused several of the cast to revert back to their appearances in the early seasons of their respective shows(such as Sisko becoming clean shaven and gaining hair) and Arnold Shwarzenagger transforming into a young version of himself akin to his bodybuilding days. Sally Field was cast as Anij, a woman who was among the ageless people living on the planet. Q also made an appearance(clearly terrified of Sisko after being punched by him, which Bachau is surprised to hear about and wishes he'd thought of). Q is responsible for guiding Dougherty and Ru'afo to the planet.
Picard and Sisko discover had allied with the people of the Fountain of Youth planet Baku against the Romulans and Dougherty's plan involved greatly expanding the effects of the planet, allowing it to effect ships in orbit including both casts. Picard chases Duffy down(OTL he was replaced by Data in the finished film, which led to some of his scenes making no sense. Far more justified here as Duffy is a fugitive, explaining why he would run and hide). A "needs of the Many" speech is invoked when Sisko points out to Picard that the Romulans are an ally now and they cannot risk betraying them, while Picard wants to help the Baku, which the Romulans seek to exterminate. The film has a final battle in which Ru'afo escapes from the ship, the collector, in an escape pod, but it falls deeper into the anomaly of the planet and he is de-aged out of existence. Picard ends the film by giving a big speech to the federation Council about morality, which gives him slow claps that become a massive applause. An end credits scene shows Quark trying to build a vacation resort on the Baku homeworld before he is arrested by Starfleet.
The Film is considered the second of a trilogy of films of crossovers between the respective Star Trek shows. The next installment would be released 10 years later and add Voyager into the mix.

Star Trek:Nemesis(2013)
Star Trek: Nemesis(2013)
With the conclusion of Voyager, the film Finale was decided to be the conclusion to the Borg which plagued all three TNG Era series and ship crews including TNG, DS9 and Voyager. In general this film was seen as the conclusion of the TNG Era. The fear that the production crew had about using the Borg vanished. This would be the last time. The Borg in the story follow the Voyager back and attack the Federation, with Kim and Seven of Nine fighting a small resistance that comes to assist in dealing the final blow to the Borg Armada as it approaches Earth. At Bachau's suggestion, a plot point about corruption in Starfleet(thanks to the parasites at the disposal of the Borg). The film kills off Data. An Epilogue however shows the fates of several characters including Geordi becoming engages to Dr.Leah Brahms, which was alluded to in the future setting of "All Good Things".
Star Trek: Enterprise(2016)
Star Trek: Enterprise(2016)
With the 50th anniversary approaching it was decided to do something special. There was a debate over whether to do a film or a show. It was settled on doing three films in a trilogy to be released in 2016, 2018 and 2021 with episodes of a TV show released from 2016 to 2021 to parallel the original run. It was initially considered making a prequel series but this was seen as too limiting due to the continuity involved. J.J. Abrams pitched a plot that would create an alternate universe to follow while keeping the original continuity intact. The old idea of visiting the youths of the original cast was brought back. The film would be compared to The Right Stuff. in terms of story.
Plot
The first part of the film is set in the TNG Era and depicts the Federation informing the Romulans of a danger posed to their planet's core. Despite the Federation's best attempts to save as many as they could, the Sun exploded too early and devastates the homeworld. While the Romulan Empire is large enough to survive, the loss of their Homeworld is still a crucial blow. Captain Picard and the aged ambassador to Romulus, Spock, learn of the plot by a Romulan named Nero(played by Russell Crowe) who is attempting to use time travel, from the remains of a Borg ship to warn Romulus in the past and somehow prevent it. Picard's Enterprise and a task force led by Sisko attempt to stop Nero but Worf is ambushed and nearly dies, forcing the Enterprise to rescue him and retreat to get him medical attention(His survival is ambiguous). With the Enterprise, DS9, and Voyager crews held back Spock takes the leap into the past in a smaller ship to stop Nero, saying goodbye to the other Crews as he follows.
Now in 2133, the USS Kelvin encounters a temporal anomaly, from which emerges Nero's ship that demands the Captain visit. He does and is killed by Nero when he states the stardate. The second in command, George Kirk(Chris Hemsworth) has the ship evacuated including his pregnant wife. She gives birth to their son, who he names James over the communicator. The Narada is badly damaged and retreats to crash on another planet, forcing it to undergo long lengthy repairs.
In 2146, a young James T.Kirk witnesses half of his colony be massacred by Governor Kodos. As this purge is carried out, his step father Malcolm Reed attempts to defend James, James's brother George II and his wife Winona Kirk. James T.Kirk flees from Kodos' police force by driving his father's Corvette, but ends up driving it off a cliff before he is rescued by Commander Christoper Pike.
Jumping to 2152, Kirk witnesses the USS Enterprise, undergoing repairs. At a bar, Kirk meets Uhura and starts a bar fight. After which he remeets Captain Pike, who encourages him to enlist in Starfleet. Kirk does so and while there meets Dr.McCoy, who has just graduated from the University of Massachusetts and is there training to serve on a Starship. Kirk takes the Kobyashi Maru and passes it by cheating. It is then revealed that Spock designed the test and Kirk is brought to trial, which is interrupted by a distress signal from Vulcan.
Kirk is smuggled on a ship by McCoy as a patient. He identifies the distress signal as a fake and when the Enterprise arrives several Federation ships have already been destroyed, with the sole survivor being a heavily damaged USS Discovery. The Enterprise is ambushed by Nero. They discover that Nero's ship is preparing to deploy a doomsday weapon. Kirk and Sulu engage the Romulans on the device and succeed in preventing the bomb from going off with a material known as Red Matter, which explodes in the planet's atmosphere, creating a blackhole. Spock goes down to help evacuate with his mother killed despite his efforts to save her. Captain Pike is taken hostage by Nero as leverage and Kirk attempts to assume command of the Enterprise but is kicked out for mutiny by Spock, who assumes control. Kirk is left off on a nearby planet and nearly dies to a beast before a mysterious figure rescues him, revealed to be the old Spock of the unaltered universe, stranded there by Nero. Old Spock helps get Kirk to a research station, believing that with his knowledge of future transporter technology they can transport themselves onto the Enterprise and uses his memories to recall where Montgomery Scott was living in the past and find him, recruiting him into transporting Kirk and Scotty himself onto the Enterprise. Kirk goads the young Spock into attacking him, leading to Spock being removed and Kirk becoming Captain and leading the Enterprise to pursue the Narada as it approaches Earth.
The Enterprise and the Narada battle. An away team rescues Pike, another dimensional explosion occurs in the heart of the ship. The Enterprise is able to finish off Nero. In the aftermath, Young Spock meets his future self, who says farewell and engages in one final test drive in an effort to return to his own time and universe(It is not revealed if he made it as this is Leonard Nimoy's final appearance, though it's largely believed he did). Due to the events, Kirk and the Enterprise crew engage in their mission years earlier(2152 instead of 2166).
The film would successfully revive the Star Trek brand. Later addition to the film trilogy would contend somewhat with Seth McFarlane and Justin Roiland's animated series The Orville, a parody of Star Trek airing at the same time.
After the film's release, Quentin Tarantino approached Abrams with a desire to direct his own Star Trek Film. He requested that it would need to have an R Rating. Abrams agreed and the film was greenlit for a 2018 release.
Notes
There's a perfect storm at work here when it comes to butterflying away Star Trek: Enterprise. The first is Desilu is making Star Trek and not Paramount, so different executives make different decisions. One of Paramount's decisions was to keep releasing Star Trek shows while the creators wanted to take a break. That's why we had TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise released so soon after each other. Without that the creators take a break to avoid franchise fatigue. However they would have to do something for the 50th Anniversary. Because of no show during the longer break and shifting production of Star Trek shows ITTL. JJ Abrams had time to pitch and conceive his OTL 2009 reboot film idea, which is more fitting for the anniversary as its a visit to the past.
Another element is with advanced technology in space travel compared to OTL. Star Trek is set in the 22nd century instead of the 23rd Century. Star Trek: Enterprise was set in the early 2150's. Meaning it would be set around 11 years before The Original Series, which is similar to Star Trek: Discovery, also set in that era OTL. My original idea was to combine Enterprise, Discovery and the Abrams films, but the problem would be balancing so many characters and the Original Series cast would steal the spotlight. The Reason this took longer than usual was I was writing a series that would be five seasons and be an alternate version of the first Five Seasons of the Original Series with some differences. Maybe Gary Mitchell survives and becomes a regular member of the crew while Michael Burnham gains cosmic powers and rewrites reality around them as a parody of the Mary Sue trope, maybe Khan is a recurring character, things like that with some OTL Enterprise and Discovery cast members appearing in new roles. However, Tarantino was unlikely to take his idea to a TV Show and so a movie series seemed the way to go to make that dream a reality. I wouldn't say Star Trek: Enterprise doesn't exist. I would say it doesn't exist...yet. It might actually be a sequel series of sort instead ITTL, maybe with a 2026 release date and five seasons.
ITTL The Orville and Star Trek: Lower Decks have basically been composited. So Star trek fans can enjoy it as a parody and avoid the debate of its continuity.
I didn't plan on starting the trend of differently named Star Trek films it just seemed fitting. Star Trek: Insurrection's original plot was based off Heart of Darkness...Into Darkness....A film completing the TNG Era with the Borg as the Final Boss since they are the biggest recurring threat....Nemesis....A film going back to the original ship?....Enterprise.
My Star Wars/Star Trek Crossover idea is still in development hell as I can't think of a good plot for it. I'm still open to suggestions but instead of waiting will move onto other things. Once I finish the three Star trek films ITTL I'm probably going to start touching up the Anime and Comics stuff. I don't like the way I handled it and will shift to posts going year by year while major franchises and installments will still keep their own dedicated posts. Basically instead of say: Comics from 1956 to 1974. It's going to be something like 1960 in Anime or 1973 in Comics.
