I mean, yea, basically. They didn't let the concepts steep enough so the allegory took back stage to the simplified moralizing.

I'm not necessarily against any general angle they took, it just didn't really do the star trek intellectual thing where they're actually competent professional adults dealing with something. The general mood of the writing is just ... too straight forward plain Hollywood. Sure, Star Trek has its TV schlock, but it was that angle of at least trying to make everyone logic-first adults that made it great.
