Your favorite crossover...

[thomas7g]

I was going to post this in the thread about `bg running into Buck Rogers. But I thought I would be polite and stay out of that threads way.
;)

If I could be a geek and do my favorite crossover....I would want the the Fleet to run into the SDF-1 Macross and see them kick some Cylon's butt!

I would love to see Baltar's face after the SDF's main cannon takes a shot through the cylon's fleet!

Also I think battloids could be fun against Raiders!

:D:D:D

Thre was a Quantum Leap/BSG fanfic i read once, where Sam Leaps into Apollo. I'm not big on crossovers, but, i thought it was pretty cool.

[Stevew]

Here are a couple fun ones

I only like reasonable cross-overs, ala the two franchises have something in common, like themes.

Thus I'd like to see BG/SG-1 cross-over (but NOT with John Edwards!!!) :D

[Fragmentary]

The main story concept behind Star Trek: Voyager and BSG are so similiar they seem like a natural fit. They're both looking for earth.

And since the Borg aren't actually interested in conquest, so much as assimilating people in an effort to constantly improve, you have to wonder what they would make of the cylons. Are they the logical extention of the Borg, the last evolutionary step? Or, since there isn't any basic organic humanoid to implant, would Cylons actually be the one form of life impervious to Borg?

A geek gots to know :rolleyes:

I was going to post this in the thread about Battlestar Galactica running into Buck Rogers.

Where is this thread? I kept hoping that would happen as I watched Buck's second season.

I'm working on Battlestar Galactica: Serenity in my limited spare time.

[Senmut]

Well, I did a Fic where the Fleet finds a wormhole machine, and ends up in Federation Space, during the Captain Pike days. It's called Culture SHock.

Interesting, that definitely would be something to see the Borg and the Cylons. :hack:

I think it would be interesting a Star Trek crossover with BG. Sounds cool.

[Spike The Cylon]

I've read a few BG/ST crossovers. I'll try to see if i can find a few, and post links.

[gmd3d]

Have a look here Spike :thumbsup:

Cool, Taranis.
I wouldn't mind reading it.

Link?

[Aeneas]

"FARSCAPE: The Lost Warrior". A FarScape/BSG/SG-1 crossover!!!!

[gmd3d]

I only have this picture at the moment, the fanfic that i am working on is taking up most of my time and creative talents (such as they are). :) but its a crossover I like.
For the Galactica Fleets to find Earth, but in a condition were it would be difficult
to survive on Earth its self, but it has the means to fight against the Cylons and the defeance grid around the planet can deflect the cylons.

I would look at that story like this

1. can earth defend them
2. can the colonials help return earth to it old glory
3. is Earth the birth place of humanity or kobol? I prefare Earth myself.
4. will Adama and the fleet take to having machines running the planet.
like theopliusueses or how ever you spell the name.
5. will Starbuck shot Twinki mistaking him for a cylon miget drone.
6. will starbuck fall for wilma deering (i did)

thats only my take on that cross over.

If you want to checkout my first real attempt at FANFIC checkout this thread.

I would love to see a BSG/Star Wars cross-over, see some X-Wings kicking some Cylons back to Cylon

[Trotsky]

BSG meets Space above and Beyond. That would be sweet, I love the real military to that show, even though some of the Characters left something to be desired. But, nonetheless, it was great sci-fi tv. Pair that with BSG and you have the meeting between Earth and the Colonials fighting off the bad guys from SAAB and the Cylons.

Also, I would like to see a show from the Cylon perspective "The funtime adventures of Unit C-379847437, IN SPACE!.

[BRG]

Battlestar Galactica meets Babylon 5 would also be cool!

I think the slightly less advanced Earth Force ships would contrast well with the Colonial Fleet. Just think of the big EAS Omega Class destroyers like the Agamemnon and the Agrippa, with they're rotating gravity sections along side the Galactica. Not to mention the Viper vs Starfury! :cool:

[Eric Paddon]

Check the library section for my personal favorite (at the risk of being immodest :) ) which is my crossover with the original Planet Of The Apes universe (25 yahrens after the series, the Galactica finds the Earth of the first POTA movie).

[winterrose]

Battlestar Galactica and Lord of the Rings..lol..

The Bag Guys in SAAB are called Chigs

[Trotsky]

SAAB. Great Concpet, Characters: ugh. What they needed in that show were sterotyped WWII movies Characters. Com'on, think about it! Heroic Fighter pilots battleing against the odds, as in "Battle of Britain" or "Midway". SAAB meeting "Galactica" would be a great story. :bg04:

i'm working on pics for an SG-1/BSG crossover. Now if only I could work out a story.....

I read this SG-1 cross over story quite a while ago but it was pretty good.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/195192/1/
It is called the Halls of Osiris and I think it shows that the 2 universes can cross over well with all the ancient Earth similarities.
:salute:

[Damocles]

Damocles here, :salute:

I tend to NOT LIKE crossovers.

First of all it leads to reconciling these problems;

Characters. Take it how you will, when you mix Adama and Kirk(an example) you wind up with a high unbelievability factor. Witness the comments posted in the Adama and Kirk threads posted on this forum.

Technology. Notice that the focus of the BSG community has always been the story, but there are those who go nutty over the my universe is better than your universe argument and produce reams of bad fiction(both from the science and the fiction viewpoint) to promote their bias.

Vision. The original authors of these creations(and the fans of the same) have a right not to see their original vision cross pollinated with some outsider's imposed universe or viewpoint.(Need I state this in this Forum?) Here it is a question of RESPECT for the vision and the work that went into it.

Taste. I am only speaking for myself and I intend no disrespect to anyone else's viewpoint. I like the the NBG. I like the OBG. The OBG has the advantage of characters and at least, until it jumped the shark with its GOIPZ episode the stories on the NBG which to be frank has been a cliche ride(albeit a VERY GOOD ONE! :D ). I would never mix those two shows. They are that different in vision, character, technology-you name it. These shows may share a common name and premise, and the ALLIGATOR(the Galactica) but they are as different as Star Trek and Lost in Space which were both inspired by Forbidden Planet.

Second of all it tends to promote fruitless what-if discussions about the crossover that leads to hurt feelings when you give honest and valid opinions about the result of some "fan's" efforts. The pain inflicted isn't worth the grief caused to an ego on the other end of the criticism. Its that RESPECT thing again.

Finally, speaking for myself only again and intending no disrespect to the totally valid viewpoints of others, I HATE Berman/Bragga Star Trek. It is an abomination to science fiction and any crossover involving it with decent science fiction is an insult to Roddenberry or to the creators of speculative fiction everywhere. :(

Please don't ask me what I think of George Lucas' work. :/:

[AJMarks]

I know when I write a crossover that I try to merge the two universes together in a way where they are both equal in technology (different technology from different shows can exist in the same universe). For me part of the fun of writing a crossover it the merging process and making it beleivable without losing either's strong points or weak points.

Having said that I usually don't read SW/ST crossovers as the writers tend to lean to one side or the other. That and I would not mix the original BSG with GINO as they have so little in common that it would be very hard to do.

[Eric Paddon]

I agree that crossovers, if they are to ever be attempted, have to have a ring of plausibility to them and not seem like a simple "gimmick" of bringing two different universes together.

The only crossover I have ever done is with the original Planet Of The Apes movie (the results of which are in the library section), because to me at least, there is nothing too beyond the stretching of credibility to suggest that the Galactica encounters the Earth of the first movie and has to deal with the potential consequences. Nothing about the first movie can disrupt the Galactica universe as we have come to know it, and likewise nothing about the Galactica universe can disrupt our understanding of the basic POTA universe. OTOH, when you deal with crossovers that involve universes spread out over large regions of space like Trek and SW are, then IMO you weaken Galactica's view of the galaxy before them as a vast unknown.

Like AJ, I also believe that anyone who attempts a crossover, has to know both properties inside out to allow for a seamless blending of universes and characters. That is why I would never attempt a crossover with another universe.

[AJMarks]

The Matrix/BSG crossover was actually a lot of fun to write even though I'm still working on it. At first I thought the two universes would be too far apart but the more I wrote the more the two universes meshed together. It was almost as if what one lacked the other made up for and was totally unexpected.

[137th Gebirg]

The two absolute BEST ST/BSG crossovers I've ever read (IMHO) were these:

Dark Dawn/Deceptions by B.J. Henry. Still waiting for the conclusion to the trilogy.
Links here: http://www.galacticafanfic.com/stories/bsgcross.html

And the Evolutions: Ruination Imperitives by Albert Green. Also waiting for the conclusion to this one.
Links here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/115547/

The former is a mainstream (and first believably done) look at what would happen if Galactica made it to the 24th Century Federation. The scene where Picard and Adama embrace each other as brothers was especially moving. The third, and yet to be written, installment will have the Colonials and the Federation being used as pawns in a "final battle" between Q and Count Iblis.

The latter is more broad-sweeping and complex with some interesting concepts of other "alternate cross-over universes" being observed by Amanda Rogers (from TNG's "True Q") and, yes, Trelane. The Cylons get a serious upgrade from an abandoned T'Kon Empire observation post and massive battles ensue. The story actually addresses some oddities from the Trek world, such as, why people don't find cover quickly and stand in hallways during phaser fights. It has some excellent plots and subplots and never fails to capture the "voices" of all the characters from all the series (DS9 and Voyager are also included).

I highly receommend both of these. If read a lot of fanfic and tried my hand at it myself a long time ago and these are probably the top two crossovers I've ever seen.

I only hope that one day I will be able to read both their conclusions and that they are just as good as what came before them.

i'm working on pics for an SG-1/BSG crossover. Now if only I could work out a story.....

Good luck with it, Spike. The story will depend on the POV you are coming at it from: who finds whom? Does SG 1 gate onto Caprica and find the Cylons?
have they earlier gated to Kobol prior to the fleets visit?
Do they gate somewhere that the fleet has recently visited, or does the Prometheus find them? Or via soem peice of ancient techonology?

Otherwise, does the fleet find a planet with a gate: Adama 'knows' of the mythology of the stargates, from a time of great oppression, adn knows that the people of the Colonies buried them becasue of the evil that came with them: or is it seen as something good, becasue it was an ancients gate that didn't get into the go'uld directiory? perhaps he can read the temple walls, and they talk of earth:
perhaps a place visited by a SGC team that talks directly of 'earth' and the visits.
This way the interface could come via a civilisation the SGC has mapped: perhasp one that could be seduced by the Cylon view and therefore is an uncertain ally?


I'm not big on crossovers, generally, but this one has enough natural similarities, and no glaring probs.

BTW, Husband has been on school hols and he pigged out on my SG1 eps (ser 1 - 6) so he was as hyped on a single franchise as he was ever likely to get.

BSG TOS is on on cable Sat mornings, and this week was WotG.

he said, unprompted.. what if Iblis was Go'uld? That would explain the Egyptian connection, and he certainly has the right personality disorder.

I looked at him and wondered if he was just poking fun at his BSG obsessed wife, (after all I had mentioned the previous conversation I had with Spike over a Stragate on Cylon occupied Caprica..) but he was serious.

he elaborated: 'Stargate has a great explaination for why there is humans on human habitable planets all over the universe, and the ancients had all those extra gates that weren't known about . All that similar terminology: Lords and pyramids, etc etc, whats the diff between Abydos and Kobol that couldn't fit together?

I got thinking about it some more: there is ascended higher beings, lashings of evil and a strong moral tone. Finding Earth via a gate on a remote planet fixes the space distance problem,. Sneck, I'd like to see the Cylons get their tin astrums whupped by any of the Stargate friends, or foes. (being replicator food could be fun: come to think of it replicator assimilation would be scarey...) Baltar could be replaced by a system Lord, real easy (or directly replaced by a humanoid replicator..)
Restless warriors could go join the fight with the Tok'ra and play with all the new toys..

'll have to read some of the fanfic referenced in this thread..

Cheers,
Lara

It sounds interesting

[Ethan]

I don't normally post on this kind of thing, but I got a weird mood going on this morning.

I would like to see a crossover of BSG with The Last Starfighter.

I also like the Cowboy Bebop story a lot, but I think it would be too difficult to meld those universes together.

:popcorn:
