10 things we want from the next Star Trek film

6. Nazis
No, seriously. A planet where the inhabitants are prohibition gangsters, or Nazis or Greek gods, or maybe all three. Or perhaps we need to move the concept along a little and find the planet of punks, or a society built on the song Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette, or Marvel comic characters. Or the best idea: a society built on a sixties TV series they intercepted from Earth! But which one?

7. The Tholians
The Enterprise is a powerful ship, but an encounter with these crystalline creatures could seriously damage it. Not only do they make cute dolphin-like sounds, but their ‘web' technology is ripe for some cool visuals. Bring on the two-armed, six-legged foes and let them taste the anguish of a full photon spread.

8. Anti-matter implosions
I loved the first movie but Warp 4? Please! We need more power, more acceleration and a top speed in excess of Warp 7. We want controlled anti-matter implosions, where the Enterprise takes off like the devil was behind it, and associated high warp side-effects. Inertial dampers go offline and everyone is squashed thinner than a Chinese pancake. I feel the need, the need for speed!

9. Pon farr
On the face of it, the sexual urges of Vulcans might not sound wonderful, but in TOS it once caused Spock to kill Kirk (or at least try). If the associated finger rubbing isn't attractive, then possibly some ritual violence and self-mutilation might be the end result of these mood-modifying cycles.

10. Talos IV
At the end of Star Trek we see Captain Pike in a wheelchair, something we know he could become be in permanently. He needs to go the Talos IV, find the woman of his dreams and the mind-messing Talosians. It's a primitive urge to include them, but one I can't resist.
