I watched the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Tom Paris manages to reach warp 10 in a shuttle (occupying every area of the universe simultaneously). Somehow this causes him to turn into a salamander/catfish thing.
Spoiler:
It was very strange. Someone made a version of it styled after Star Trek: The Animated Series: |

Sounds too messy for me - I'm sticking with the infinite improbability drive...

What I find especially funny about this is that there's one TOS episode where sufficiently advanced aliens modify the Enterprise's engines to reach warp eleven. Nobody turned into salamander/catfish things there.

It is hard to believe that they allowed it to escape. I am truly boggled by it. There are some I've given up on--for example, Murdoch Mysteries (!) because I used to really like it, maybe even love it a bit, but it's gone...IDK. It's gone somewhere, somehow that I just no longer love. I don't know why/how, etc. but meh. THIS ONE, though. wowzers. So so so so bad. LOLOL. I would pay money to know how the hell it got a 5.8 on IMDB. If that's not vote-rigging, I don't know what is. Hitch |

Following the logic of warp drive, since in TOS a warp factor is a cube, and in TNG is to the fifth power, then the next level up would be to the seventh power (which would mean 40,353,607 times the speed of light at Warp Factor 9).
