Which Trek creator (writer, producer, etc) do you think was weakest on continuity world-building?

[Kendrakirai]

I have to give it to Braga, because his episodes are where science goes to die. It’s one thing to make up treknobabble bullshit science. It’s another entirely to screw up real world science, history, both real and in universe, and everything else he touched.

For loose continuity, maybe Roddenberry. The setting of TOS wasn't pinned down (probably the real reason for the century confusion in The Squire of Gothos, IMHO). Was the Enterprise part of the Starship or Constitution class? Is it in Starfleet or the United Earth Space Probe Agency?

Justified, probably, because I think people were less picky about continuity before the internet let us be asses about it.

I mean, let's take "Past Tense." The science has a certain grounding in reality, but is no less magical. Chronitons, anyone? Are those real life particles, or not? Seems made up.

[Darth Wedgius]

I'm pretty sure chronitons are 99 44/100ths% fake. "Chronons" are proposed quanta of time but chronitons are just sciencey-sounding justification for Trek's timey-wimey magic.

Hell, in my own sci-fi works, having a greater grasp on the concepts and how they relate to real life theories is only gonna help me in the end. Like tachyons.

[Durandal_1707]

Well I mean, tachyons haven't even been proven to exist. They're purely hypothetical (which obviously isn't going to stop any SF writers ).

[Yukaphile]

Yup.

I freely admit that I'm biased, but Alex Kurtzman. Everything the man's ever written has been nonsensical hackwork relying purely on ass-pull crises, a complete lack of a sense of scale, and an approach to continuity that's more like "continuity is whatever I want it to be in this exact moment" rather than any form of storytelling.

Everything Kurtzman touches turns to shit, in other words. He combines the tepid and nonsensical writing of Biller with Braga's bad science and the cliched offensively one-note characters of a bad Klink script. Absolutely the worst writer ever to touch Trek and I'm including the lady who wrote Code of Honor on that list.

[Kendrakirai]

What has Kurtzman written?
