Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ latest episode, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,” features a scene in which the TARDIS from Doctor Who is visible floating around in space behind the Enterprise. Ten years ago this would have been a fun Easter egg, now it’s an apt demonstration of everything that has gone wrong with the show.
Below is the scene from Strange New Worlds, where the TARDIS is visible…
The context for the TARDIS’s presence is that the Enterprise has been swallowed by a salvage ship that sucks in other starships and rips them apart for fuel. Apparently, the idea here is that the TARDIS was also, at some point, captured by this metal monster.

Dropping the TARDIS into your series perfectly demonstrates how tone-deaf the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds production team is. While once Doctor Who was a beloved sci-fi series with a lot of crossover between Trek fans and Doctor Who fans, those days are long gone.
Modern-day Doctor Who is a disaster. Everyone except a handful of Slop Eaters has abandoned it, and Disney is expected to cancel it because it’s so bad no one wants it anymore. Doctor Who is now a joke, a sci-fi pariah, and no one takes it seriously.

Audience scores for the past few years of Doctor Who seasons are a tire fire, and the show has no ratings. For at least five years now, the problem with Doctor Who has been the writing. The series has adopted a style of writing I’m going to call “nonsenscore,” in which the writers throw out anything that feels good, regardless of whether it makes any logical or narrative sense. It has ruined the once great Doctor Who franchise and destroyed it permanently.
That exact writing style is also what made Star Trek: Discovery so terrible, and it has lately begun creeping into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, too. Dropping a TARDIS into space next to the Enterprise is basically a declaration of war on good writing. You’re on notice: This show is being written by Slop Eaters for Slop Eaters, and I guess fans can expect the Strange New Worlds to continue its devolution into nonsensecore, feelings-first irrelevance.
