If the writers are inconsistent with tone and characterization, then I would call that bad writing.

I refer back to my "parachuting with a jacket" example.

A 21-year-old woman interested in a 14-year-old boy? Like I said, totally unrealistic.

Of course ZZ is meant to be a continuation of Zeta. It involves and builds off the same characters, same plot points, and same setting left at the end of Zeta. The first episode is a recap of Zeta. The second episode picks up immediately where Zeta left off. Hell, "Zeta" is even in the name of the show!
And as jonli pointed out, I don't think your example works. Char is still fighting against the Earth on the behalf of spacenoids; the only people he double-crossed were the Zabis, who are all dead; and he's still quite the badass.
