Part of it was also because they hired on a very capable agency. 72andSunny. And got Charlie Murphy to do Spock's VO.

Re: "G4TV", simple typo, or purposeful snub?

Saturday night at around 1145pm central time, i was watching the Saturday night marathon of G4's gaming/techno/movie news-type show "Attack Of The Show" and while watching the episode from Tuesday i was reading the news ticker that runs at the bottom of the screen witch they call "The Feed" when, much to my interest. and eventual horror and dismay, they ran a little piece about our favorite communications officer, Nichelle Nichols, Joining the cast of heroes, and as i do not watch TV news shows or get on the internet, this was news to me, anyway, as the ticker went along with the story, it read(I do not remember the exact way it read, but something similar to...) Popular show "Heroes" announces that it will adding Nichelle Nichols to its cast, Nichols played communications officer Uhura in the classic TV show "STAR TRAK" ect ect ect. They misspelled it, now if this were something on E! TV or some other normal pop culture news show, I would just chalk it up to idiocy, but this being G4tv, who runs mini marathons of STAR TREK tos and plays TNG on a regular schedule, and proclaims itself to be the gaming/techno generations TV channel, I was to say the least, upset, I don’t know if this was just ineptness or a purposeful snub at our great community, anyway, I was outraged, given the circumstances and figured I would mention this on here, tho it has probably already been brought up.

Well, I'm outraged that you mispelled the abbreviation for etcetera. I mean what the hell is ect ect ect? Not only that, you only need one etc.

Relax, chief. Misspellings are common on the crawls for even the cable news networks.

Not for nothing, G4 still broadcasts Trek, don't they? Why would they spite their money maker?

This is silly.

You are aware that there are two wars going on and the economy is in the shitter, right?

I always wondered why Rodenberry never sued "Star Trak" for stealing his name for a series and the name of one of his characters. I guess it was too under the radar for him to notice, although it's weird that of all the shows G4 could mention Nichelle Nichols being associated with, they picked the lesser known of the two.

Better than "Uhura from Star Wars"...

Or "Uhuru from Star Track."

I know I called it Star Track when I was a kid...so maybe that's the explanation for the misspelling. They have inept children typing these crawls!

I like to dress up as Dark Vader on weekends.

Joe, helmed

An early review of "Star Wars" described Obi-Wan Kenobi as a "Jet-Eye Knight".

True story.

Nice esoteric reference, FC.

Hey since you're here, I require the G4 logo with and without the VOY Endgame armor on it. While you're at it, do my whole tv like that, too. Just in case The USS-Mitsubishi DLP has to into battle against the Borg.
