10 Things New Star Trek TV Show Must Have

6. Cool Technology

Stv Night 093

Aside from the super sleek and sexy new starship that will be on the screen there's a lot of technology associated with Star Trek. The iPad and the mobile phone were to some degree first "seen" in Star Trek or provided inspiration to later designers of those items. Star Trek will need to come up with something new and ground-breaking to be famous for in the future.

What it could be is a mystery but I would plump that the show is going to be needing phasers, photons (or quantum) torpedoes, tricorders and the like to equip the crew on their away missions. Oh and can we make sure that thew sounds are authentic too - that transporter energising needs to have all the sparkle and whizz of The Original Series. Even Google Glass is just a copy of a Jem'Hadar headset so there will be high expectations of something being "suggested" in this new imagining/continuation.

This applies to every aspect of the ship be it in medical, engineering and even into the tech used by alien races - it's all got to be super-cutting edge and even thinking beyond that point. There are sure to be a few bits of "existing" Star Trek tech that can be updated for this new venture.

A Star Trek fan from birth, I love to dive into every aspect of the franchise in front and behind the screen. There's something here that's kept me interested for the best part of four decades! Now I'm getting back into writing and using Star Trek as my first line of literary attack. If I'm not here on WhatCulture then you're more than welcome to come and take a look at my blog, Some Kind of Star Trek at http://SKoST.co.uk or maybe follow me on Twitter as @TheWarpCore. Sometimes I force myself not to talk about Star Trek.
