    Not sure how they'll manage this. It's easy enough to put animated
    version of the "Strange New Worlds" cast in "Lower Decks", but the
    other way around could prove difficult. However they do it it seems
    rather ridiculous since one is a comedy and the other "realistic" ...
    Jonathan Frakes is in charge of the silliness, so that's no surprise.

    My first thought is The Wrath of Khan where they interacted at most through=
    viewscreens.

    Then there was the comic book limited series "The Modala Imperative," a non= -crossover crossover between the original crew and The Next Generation: Kir=
    k and crew had an adventure on an alien planet and uncovered some mystery a= bout it; some 78 years later Picard and crew visited the same planet and di= scovered the answer to the mystery.

    Uses the word "meet," and the phrase "step onto Capt. Pike=E2=80=99s Enterp= rise." I'm not sure how accurate that is.
    It also mentions only two actors, and they look close to the (human) charac= ters they voice.
    I'm guessing it'll be the actors, although I can see a temptation to make t= hem cgi characters. Heck, I see a temptation to vary the body proportions = between those of the cartoon drawing and an actually person until we find t=
    he most uncanny spot in the valley!
