The online video game, "Is It Logical?", shows players short video clips and tests knowledge of Star Trek background. An additional "Captain's Blog" lets viewers in essence write fan fiction about what went on behind the scenes during popular episodes. TV Land's online site also hosts an episode guide and message boards to discuss the show.

And TVLand.com will offer exclusive interviews with Takei, William Shatner (Kirk) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock), plus a look at how Star Trek impacted scientists, historians and others.
