The deus ex machina within minutes of a tragic death really invalidates the whole thing, and highlights the problem with this whole show - the writing. You can see sparks of a good story every now and then, and they clearly have all the components to do something great, but it never really comes together to something more than OK. And after the series finale, everyone and everything is fine, all problems are solved, and everyone can live happily ever after, and Paramount / CBS can squeeze some more money out of a dying franchise in another season.
I'm sure the stakes will suddenly be very high again, and in the end, everyone will be fine. I don't care anymore. If Patrick Stewart wants to destroy his iconic role, let him.
