I personally loved season 2, Star Trek IV is my favorite of the movies and the whole thing was a love letter to it, but I know a lot of people didn’t care for it. Looks like Paramount might’ve been responsible for that.
That Deus Ex Machina also was totally unnecessary, it’s like “Hey do you know Wil Wheaton? He played a character in Star Trek. Be amazed and hit by nostalgia, and now shut up!”
It couldn’t possibly be the worst deus ex machina in the history of Star Trek, because it has to affect the goddamn plot in any capacity to be a deus ex machina. I’m just not sure what the Latin for “some unmotivated bullshit that comes out of nowhere to tie up the already-irrelevant B-plot” is.
…Which makes it worse, I think, considering that season barely tied up the A-plot.

You are definitely in the minority there. It had its moments, but overall I didn’t like it.
And I hated that it basically retconned Time’s Arrow by having that be the first time Guinan met Picard.

Wesley showing up at the end was the worst deus ex machina in the history of Star Trek.
