I am an admitted fan of the "Star Trek: Continues" fan fiction series. "Renegades" has a decent group of actors and good CGI, but the practical sets were as flimsy as those seen in "The Honeymooners." And though I also like the JJ helmed Trek movies, they by nature contain more shoot-em-up scenes and explosions (and less plot/story) than standard Trek episodes. There is room for everyone in the Federation... one would hope that CBS will realize that eventually.
