b'DS9/TNG Crossover - Creating an Episode

In the late 90s, we had our first instance of two Star Trek television series airing at the same time. As "Star Trek: The Next Generation" began to end, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" took its first few steps into the franchise. There were some small crossovers of major characters - with Dr. Bashir and Quark making small appearances with the Enterprise-D, and Picard and "a" Riker showing up on Deep Space Nine (not counting O\'Brien and Worf\'s ultimate transfers to the station). What about a cross-over episode that made more use of our major characters?

The trio transport themselves back in time in shaping what an epiosde of DS9 would look like with the appearance of some "major" TNG characters. Spoiler alert - the planned story goes slightly off the rails when it becomes clear that DS9 will be home to a cooking competition between Quark\'s new replicator and Commander Sisko\'s "home cooking", along with some familiar faces in the Trek franchise.

Join us in this brand new cross-over adventure that never was!'
