    We already have similar technology on Earth so why is it too much for it to be in place on Destiny?

    I'm just waiting for them to find some pre-replicator replicator creating machine that they will inadvertenly turn on.

    Other than that I've been very satisfied with the current lack of deus ex machinas and maguffins. Everything so far serves a very small limited purpose.

    I think they will find Ancient weapons as they will eventually run out of ammo. I wonder if those weapons will be more like the Lantean stun weapon seen in ATL: "Aurora" or the Asuran pistol seen in ATL: "Progeny", "The Return, Part 2", "Lifeline", "This Mortal Coil". Chances are though that any handheld weapons will be unique.

    God of Machine, a device originally used in Greek plays where a mechanical 'god' would descend and solve the problems of the characters. I think thats right.

    True but the recharging plate doesn't solve all the crew's problems. There's plenty of other troubleshooting opportunities on the ship...like figuring out how to get access to the primary systems.

    Deus Ex Machina = The reason why EATG was bad.

    But in SGU, insofar, there haven't been bad ones. The recharging plate is reasonable.

    We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends.

    That is because it is. A real Deus Ex Machina (think wormhole drive) is a easy way to solve a problem and covers up for a weak story. The thing is many fans (congrats GateroomGuard) overuse the defintion like they overuse plot hole

    Re: Deus ex machina SOME SPOILERS

    A device that makes a single problem less difficult and requires the characters to keep working does not equal deus ex machina in my mind.

    Unless Eli somehow makes the recharger capable of solving every single new problem that arises I'm not calling it a deus ex machina.

    Thats some bad logic. If we had never criticized or compained about things many of the significant changes in history would never have occurred
