As a writer, you are required to write episodes that are 11 minutes long (or longer in some episodes), as usual for the OG series, on top of that, you'll need to understand the personalities of the characters and have an BIG understanding how the Original Series worked. (ex. clever ideas, moral lessons, etc.)

For those who are not familiar to the original series, I'd suggest watching episodes from S1 and a little of S2, to capture the feel the reboot's gonna aim at.
