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. 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.

Paying off a 'Doctor Who' Joke two years in the making, it looks like team TARDIS got to visit 'Star Trek'... just not at the best time.

Doctor Who's main character can show up at any point in time and space thanks to his TARDIS, and that would seem to include the Star Trek universe. When the USS Enterprise is trapped inside the Scavengers' ship in "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail," the iconic blue box can also briefly be spotted near Captain Pike's (Anson Mount) ship.
