I am the king of
Star Trek 2.0.
Just for shits & giggles, on Saturday morning I signed up to play along with Star Trek 2.0. For those of you that don't know, on
G4 TV, they air an episode of Classic Trek, along with an interactive "Spock Market", news, and live statistics like the number of Dramatic Music Stabs, Uhura undie shots, Torn Kirk Shirts, and Ricardo Montalban. They also have an interactive chat which the show poses a question and users can respond and it shows up on the air. Neat, huh?
OK, so I'm a nerd.
So I sign up. I respond to the question, "What would interglactic space aliens look like?" to which I respond things like, "I think they would be furry.", "Mickey Rourke", and "Vivica Fox". :D
About five minutes later, I see my name pop up on screen with my first response. HOLY SHIT! IT WORKS!!!! I am a god! I control your air waves!
OK, so maybe not, but still it was pretty damn cool. Now I have a
reason to watch Classic Trek. Another couple of minutes later I see my Mickey Rourke response show up. Obviously, there's a guy just monitoring this feed and deciding which responses make it to air. If there weren't could you just images what filth people would say?
Anyway, I thought that was some of the coolest shit I've seen in a while. And yes, I am a geek.
