That would definitely be interesting. I've seen attempts to do QL/Sliders
and QL/Highlander crossovers, but they were never any good. QL/X-Files
might work okay. But mostly I can imagine Leap with non-SF shows. Like
Early Edition or Pretender or something like that.

QL/ST would take a *lot* of technobabble to explain. Unless perhaps Sam was caught
in mid-leap until the 24th century? Or Archer is his descendent (in later eps he
lept into ancestors, why not descendents?).

My Dr. Who experience began when I was a tyke watching late night PBS reruns with
my parents. John Pertwee was the first I saw, and I still really like him. Baker
is my favorite though, and this may make me even more of an American dullard than
Joe, but my favorite episodes are The Androids of Tara and The Five
Doctors, though the episodes surrounding the Baker/Davison regeneration
were quite good also. Peter Davison I like, but not so much as Baker or
Pertwee. The others, I have only seen smatterings of (and I don't think
I've *ever* seen the seventh doctor).

Perhaps Dr. Who would work on Voyager, or with a Maquis crew.

How would the Doctor get along in the Babylon 5/Crusade universe, I wonder?
