The first part of a new science-fiction series（ 系 列 剧 ）was shown on NBC last night. Star Trek is about a spacecraft（宇宙飞船）which travels faster than the speed of light. The show is developed from three ideas about the 22nd century. First, well find other life forms in our galaxy.（星系）Second, we won't fight with these aliens. And third, we'll have great tools which will make amazing things possible.

Let's think about these predictions.   If we find life forms on other planets, will they be intelligent I hope so. But we human beings might not be friendly – I don't think we'll believe in the idea of peace one hundred years from now. But this is science fiction, so we can be optimistic! And Star Trek's idea of life in the future is 'communicators'. And we will be able to have conversations with   people who are on because you'll have an electronic notebook. And if you get ill, the doctor won't have to examine you – a machine will 'read' your body. The strangest machine includes a 'teleport' which will take people to a different place in a second!

The ideas are interesting, and in my opinion   there's only one problem with star trek: the acting. The TV company（公司）will have to get better actors. If they do that, the show might be a success. If the acting doesn't improve, Star Trek won't last for more than one series. Of course, my prediction may be wrong. I can't see into the future!
