Other Star Trek Sites

The official Paramount site is at www.startrek.com.

One of the best fan sites is: Mike Brown (Vidiot)'s Trek site

For other sites, we recommend you look at a major index site such as Ultimate TV or Yahoo. We've kinda given up on keeping an index of links here because there are now so many sites, some come and go without warning, and honestly we'd rather spend what little time we have working on improving our own site than checking links and looking at other people's sites all the time.
