Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have been collaborating on shitty scripts together for ages. From the awful Hercules and Xenia television series to many of the big crappy blockbusters that his cinemas in recent years. You have them to thank for the scripts of such wonderful films as The Island, all three Transformer films, both Star Treks, and Cowboy's and Aliens. They are Hollywood's go to guys for fluffy action flicks where the dialogue doesn't really matter in the least. Lindeloff is probably the most talented of the three.

And that's still not even a compliment to Lindelof, LOL.

I agree, though. Those three are all awful writers. Their only major critical success in film is the ST movies, and that's obviously JJ's direction elevating what are pretty generic scripts.
