Star Trek TNG 2.0

The folks at G4 have played with Star Trek the original series and now have their mitts on Star Trek The Next Generation.
Basically the whole show is squeezed into the center of the screen and is surrounded by a collection of graphics.
One graphic show a count of the number of time something happens in the show. Like the number of times Data says fascinating, the number of red alerts, or even the number of "Picards Maneuvers" which is the casts habit of pulling the top half of there uniforms down after standing up.
Another portion of the screen is made up of a "Market" where certain "stocks" are traded.
The is a bottom graphic showing a transcript of the chater from the G4 chat room.
The top is made up of trivia and pointless facts about the show.

Now I don't mind the trivia so much as it is kind of fun but why the market and chat room transcript.
Why is there so much wasted space?
All in all G4 has once again pr oven they have no self control. They raped Tech TV, destroyed Call For Help, and The Screen Savers.
Boo G4.
