Star Trek really just doesn't seem to work in a 10 episode format. It really needs the season length to fill out the characters and give you that feel of people doing a job that has varying levels of stakes over a varying type of issues. With the lack of episodes to fill that feeling out, the episodes with slower pace or less serious tone stand out as so much worse in comparison. Would Hollow Pursuits stand up if it didn't have six or seven episodes on either side of it that kept the tone of the series?
It has been mentioned over the past few pages, but ultimately I agree with you.

Stop spending your budget on the polished marble floors or the swanky bars or Pike's preposterous quarters and spread it out a bit over a few more episodes.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
