11. Star Trek
memory-alpha.org
Launch Date November 2003

What You'll Find The wiki-based Memory Alpha is truly the final frontier when it comes to online Star Trek info. Fans can quickly scan (and even update) news and TV listings, read articles on Andorians and Krieger waves, and further their Starfleet knowledge via complete profiles of minor but memorable characters (Boothby!) and starships (Excelsior!).

Why It's Essential There are plenty of other Trek fansites floating out there in cyberspace, but Memory Alpha wins out for its handsome, intuitive presentation and its overwhelming mass — it even has copies of the old Trek newspaper comic strip from the early 1980s.

If you're looking for info on J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek film, don't bother. At least not yet. However, franchise episode guides and actor Q&A's are here for the taking. (The Minimate Spock will cost you $7.99, though.) — ABV
