Star Trek has always been a "morality tale", which is why the Abrams produced movies and even Enterprise have missed the mark.

Your second point is what more people need to realize. Star Trek isn't a "run around shoot 'em up" kind of franchise. I am intrigued but worried about this Tarantino project that may get off the ground.
Unrelated to your comment, but I wanted to hate The Orville because I'm really not entertained by most of SM's humor, but the show has some great writing and characters despite some stupid sophomoric jokes. I will agree that there are a few low brow jokes that do hit the mark pretty well.
I know this will appear nitpicky to most, but I really wish they would have explained that Ed and Gordon met during a history class of the late 20th century or something. Most of the jokes are based on pop culture from this era, after all.
