I agree that the resolution to the conflict was obvious and it took the episode a bit too long to get there.

Not sure about the PD. I guess it is complicated by the fact that we are talking about the Klingons, a foe and friend for like a millennium. It's hard to turn away from their struggle. But the federation comes across as if they're not looking at Klingons on the same level. Like "look at this planet, it has lots of Vulcans, you will love it", as if Earthlings would be happy if Klingons showed them a planet and are like "this place is 80% water, take it". I know that's not even discussed in the episode, but that's, at least to me, a bigger point than what the Klingons bring up. Home is where the heart is? But then again, Klingons do what Klingons do, so yeah, let's battle it out
