Cable channel G4 is trying to breathe new life into the original Star trek series by creating an entertainment mash-up to use the buzz word of the day. Working with LA agency 72andSunny, G4 came up with a play-while-you-watch game called The Spock Market that allows viewers to buy, sell and trade shares of characters, aliens, gadgets and ships. Stock values change based on events in the episodes. Now that’s a pretty cool way to get today’s Internet geeks in tune with yester-year’s Star Trek geeks. There’s some funny stop-motion commercial that promote the whole thing which you can view here and here.
