Moore's Continuity Problems
By The One

Kind of funny he's griping about it... he helped create the whole problem. Establishing 3 series in teh same time period will do that. I don't see how they did such a good job with continuity anyway. If they had quit trying to incorporate established races and events, then they could have had a lot more freedom.

What I had a problem with continuity wise isn't stuff like the original Enterprise being built in space or not.... but the broad strokes that got missed. First Contact is a prime example. They chose to go back and deal with that period of Trek history, so it's their own fault if they found continuity to be constrictive in that case. While I'm no continuity absolutist, they made no effort to make Zefram Cochrane seem like the same guy that was in the Metamorphsis episode, and I'm not talking about his apperance per se. He's an important part of Trek history and they turned him into a bumbling drunk rock and roll freak. Not that I would have had a problem with that, but he sure came across as more of a stuffed shirt in TOS, and the two characters could not have seemed more different. I just wish they would have made some sort of effort to tie the two different takes on that character together, but they didn't.

Moore and the other writers shouldn't talk about how tough continuity was.. they set it aside whenever they wanted.
