If you've seen the new "Star Trek" movie, you've probably noticed that Tyler Perry, that's right, Madea herself, had a small role as the admiral in charge of Starfleet Academy.

Thinking about why director JJ Abrams thought it was a good idea to make a man famous for dressing up in drag and directing really schmaltzy-yet-crude comedy films a figure of authority in a dramatic science fiction film kind of makes our brains hurt, but given the fact that Abrams is apparently a Perry fan, we're assuming that the filmmaker and playwright is likely to appear in the sure-to-come sequels, maybe in larger roles.

With that in mind, here are some suggestions for future entries in the "Star Trek" franchise:

• Madea Goes to Talos IV
• Harry Mudd's Little Girls
• The Family that Phasers
• Why Did I Get Married (to a Ferengi)
• I Can Do Bajoran All By Myself
• Meet the Borg
• Madea's Family Reunites The Incarnations of Its Opposite Sides Created in a Transporter Accident
• Diary of a Mad Black Vulcan
