G4 doing something cool?
I'm just as confused as you are, but their new 'Star Trek 2.0' is really quite entertaining. I'm watching it right now, as a matter of fact. As much as some people love it, the original Star Trek sucked in a lot of ways. G4's presentation of it gives the viewer the ability to discuss/make fun of it with others via the live chat at the bottom of the screen, and there's 'Trek Stats' column on the left side, which keeps track of such things as 'Red Alerts,' 'Hot Alien Women,' and 'dramatic Kirk pauses.' My favorite stat is 'Enterprise Doomed,' which is currently at two (in one episode!). Oh, how fun. There's also 'Trek Facts' on the top of the screen and the 'Spock Market' ticker on the right (in which you trade shares of characters and technology--it actually looks fairly well developed). It's certainly better than G4's other offerings, such as the hopefully-soon-to-be-dead AOTS or, even worse, The Man Show. Is 'Star Trek 2.0' enough to save G4, though? I rather doubt it, so you should enjoy this show while the network is still alive.
