comment |
Mythology Gag: When the TARDIS crew explores San Francisco, they come across Tom's Bakery on 4th Street. Tom Baker, of course, played the Fourth Doctor. As with Star Trek: Voyager, the Federation is forced into an alliance with the Borg to defeat a greater evil, knowing full well they'll be betrayed when it's all said and done, and are prepared when said betrayal inevitably happens. |

The Farmer and the Viper: More of a case of the Viper and the Viper, seeing as both the Borg and the Cybermen team up, knowing fully well that the other would try to assert dominance over the alliance at one point. The Cybermen were just better at it. When the Cybermen are defeated, the Borg try to turn on the heroes almost instantly. Everybody saw it coming, and they were prepared. |

comment |
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: The Doctor demonstrates this ability in the second issue, but with a variation: he states he actually feels his memories changing, and says he didn't know what a Klingon was until he laid eyes on Lt. Worf. Later on, after a flashback to his Fourth Doctor days and a meeting with the TOS crew that he knows never really happened, he notes that if his memories are changing, then they're in even worse trouble than he initially thought. Because of all this, Picard takes him to meet another time-sensitive alien with Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Guinan. See also Sequel Hook. |

Enemy Mine: In the face of total Cybermen domination, the Doctor makes it clear that the only way to survive is for he and the Enterprise crew to temporarily ally themselves with the Borg - a decision that Picard is obviously not happy with, given the torture he previously endured at the Borg's hands. |

Another Dimension |
| | Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation² (Comic Book) / int_6f572188 |
comment |
Another Dimension: Hinted at twice in the second issue. The Doctor, who claims to know every star and planet out there, identifies Worf as a Klingon, but then informs Amy and Rory that until seeing him he'd never heard of a Klingon before. Later, when Picard receives the Distress Call from Delta IV, the Doctor reminds us of his familiarity with the whole of the universe and then states he's never heard of Delta IV. Guinan confirms the multi-dimensional nature of the conflict in Issue 5, explaining that part of what makes the Cybermen so dangerous is their awareness of and existence in multiple dimensions, and how assimilating the Borg and their resources would make them powerful enough to expand across and take over all of reality. |

Not very, as it turns out. Not only do the Cybermen turn on the Borg and almost destroy them but that was their intention all along. |

Issue 6 also has the Doctor, Amy, and Rory arrive at the Battle of Wolf 359, where they encounter Locutus. Rory mentions he was a plastic Roman at one point. And being dead. |

comment |
No-Sell: Borg Assimilation doesn't work on Cybermen. Conversely Cyber conversion seems to work fine on the Borg. This could be an example of Fridge Brilliance — Borg assimilation involves injecting nanobots into the victim, who start "Borgulating" them from the inside out. Cybermen contain little-to-no remaining organic tissue, and so cannot be "Borgulated". |

What Have I Become?: Inverted. Data explains at the beginning of Issue 2 to Geordi that this is the reason he doesn't upgrade his hardware, as he would wonder, over time, how much of him was left in a reinvented self. This also, basically, sets up the issue with the Cybermen...AND the Borg. As they both did the same, and the answer is 'not much'. |

Backstory Invader |
| | Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation² (Comic Book) / int_bab2af18 |
comment |
Backstory Invader: The merging of the two universes creates some alterations to the past, most notably the Fourth Doctor having met up with the TOS crew in the past, which Eleven insists he has no memory of in the "present"note For lack of a better term to use for someone like the Doctor, but also does remember it at the same time. |

comment |
Cool Ship: The TARDIS and the Enterprise-D, natch. Issue 2 even has the Doctor complimenting the design of the Enterprise's bridge. Though the Doctor does note in issue 7 that while the Enterprise is a fine ship, he'd rather have his TARDIS under his feet in a crisis. |

Let's You and Him Fight |
| | Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation² (Comic Book) / int_c3bdfbb9 |
comment |
Let's You and Him Fight: Picard attempts to invoke this trope and let the Cyberman and the Borg wipe each other out, content to rid the galaxy of the scourge of the latter. The Doctor has to show him that doing so causes the Cyberman to not only win, but take over the entire Federation in the process, leading Picard to back off. |

Shout-Out: Bordering on Ascended Fanon: the Fourth Doctor meeting Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise is similar in many ways to a popular crossover fan fiction, The Doctor and the Enterprise, wherein the same scenario occurs. |
