I thought it was stupid too... but then ME3 was released and the ME2 human reaper changed into high quality storytelling...
Have to admit that the deus ex dildo device and the glowing kid made the writing in previous games gold. Even the most stupid things are now beautiful memories in comparison...
So the ME2 Lazarus Project wasn't dumb? ME2 is by far the worst plot in the series. The entire plot has problems.
And no, ME3's ending isn't deus ex machina. Neither teh Crucible or the Catalyst is deus ex machina, and Lair of the Shadow Broker set up the Crucible.
