You can also learn obscure facts, stories, and little-known insider information about the show while you keep an eye on "Trek Stats," an ever-growing tally of classic Star Trek moments (such as Spock saying "illogical" or mounting "Red Shirt" deaths). There's also the "Spock Market" where you can buy (and sell) shares of Kirk or McCoy, and watch a real-time Star Trek Stock Exchange running on the right-hand side of the TV screen showing the gains and losses of each character's stock as they are affected by the events in each episode (e.g. Kirk's stock may increase if he scores with a female character). premieres tonight at 11PM ET/PT on G4."
