G4 will begin airing reruns of the original Star Trek on April 10, but this time with a twist. Rather than simply showing the episodes, G4 is hoping to make it a more interactive experience by providing an online chat, as well as facts and trivia to be shown onscreen during each episode. Essentially, it sounds like TRL for Trekkies, which could either be kind of cool or kind of annoying. If you're excited about seeing these old episodes but aren't thrilled about seeing what SpockHugger345 in Sheboygan thinks about it, don't worry. Uncut versions without all the interactive woo-wa will be shown during Saturday marathons, starting on April 8. I'm not sure everything old needs to be re-invented for a young audience, or in this case made more obnoxious. What do you guys think?
