If you could have one device or gadget from a TV show or film, what would it be?

[Culhwch]

I've said before a lightsabre would be really handy in the workshop, or doing home renos. Or a bacta tank, one of those babies will heal most anything. I could turn a tidy profit. But failing those, I would also go for an inbuilt holodeck.

[Sibeling]

If a Terminator counts as device, I want one. And nobody will be rude to me anymore.

[Lucien21]

Definitely a Holodeck.

I don't know that I'd choose a holodeck, despite the obvious appeal of being able to "create" any scene, anywhere you want. For me, I think I would find the temptation to simply live in a fantasy world too great. I need to keep my head in the "real world".

As a nurse, I can see a real appeal for those devices the medical people use in Star Trek where they can heal bones and clear up scars just by running an electronic regenerator over the area.

TNG Type 1 phaser. They're so damn cute. Like one of them little LED keyring torches. Much better then the Type 2's that look like some sort or soldering iron.

But if I could only pick one it would be Kitt. It had everything. Stylish watch/communicator, Autopilot, Scanner complete with 80's retro visuals. And I don't care what people say, that car did and still does look great.

No wait, I just changed my mind. I want the Lotus out of The Spy Who Loved Me.

Visit anywhere in time - but with a bit of risk to make it more exciting

The power source for a holodeck... must have some practical/financial benefits?

[GoodyGoody]

I think it was every 80's baby's dream to have a hover board!!

[Amalthea]

Does a warp drive count as a gadget?

That is what I want.

[Nesacat]

If the Tardis counts as a device/gadget then I'd like one of that for Christmas please with a crimson ribbon tied around it. Otherwise a sonic screwdriver would be great. The same crimson ribbon can be used.

[AlexM]

Does the spider that turned peter parker (or whatever his name was) count? :P

or the ironman suit

thats my ones.

cheers,

I'd love a TARDIS too...or failing that, The Liberator! (aka coolest ship in the known universe - Blake's 7) (with Orac shoved in a cupboard somewhere for when I need him)

[Huttman]

The first thing I wanted to say was the holodeck, but alas, I would never leave it. That's OK for me, though, I think the world will be civil enough someday so the desire to 'get away from it' will not be there. That being said, I want a lightsabre. Just about all of the previous choices will be reality someday... oh, what am I saying, if we can imagine it, we can create it. While warfare will be a thing of the past soon, a lightsabre will always come in handy to trim the verge and such. I want one!

[gully_foyle]

A Cone of Silence. I'd put my kids in it!
