While we're here, let's also acknowledge some of the fan-funded efforts that have been keeping the spirit alive: http://www.startrekaxanar.com/ http://www.startrekaxanar.com/ http://startrekrenegades.com/ http://startrekrenegades.com/ I, for one, am really looking forward to Axanar as much or even more than these official series.

Star Trek was a professionally produced show. These examples do not 'keep alive' anything. Avoid them.

  They have actors from the "professionally produced" shows. I am perfectly willing to sit through non-blockbuster-budgeted series for a chance to see my favourite actors playing their roles, the ones I grew up watching and had a huge influence on who I am as an adult. Edit. Typo.

Renegades was nigh godawful. Prelude to Axanar reminded me of the real-action adverts that big budget games have these days was very HALO 3-eque, not good or bad persay, but it was just a relative short (20min) for their kickstarter so not much to judge it by, the VFX looked professional but very un-Star Trek like which was some what disappointing but unless you have the DS9 effects team that managed to make 3D-CGI look like filmed scaled models or the team behing BSG/Firefly you won't probably get the realistic look either.

  Renegades I won't dispute. But I felt like Prelude was exactly what it set out to be and did quite well for that too. Both are doing remarkably well considering the budgets they've been given (even Renegades). In this day and age we have the privilege to pay for what we want to see, if we feel like it. People love to complain, but seriously, if we aren't willing to pony up the cash for something, why should we expect to studios to produce what we want to see? Even paying for a Netflix subscription will split your money so many different ways that the studios aren't going to be getting that much at the end.
