Deus ex machina! ? "God from [the] machine!" The term was made by Greek tragic playwrights: when a plot twist occured that couldn't be solved by the mortal characters, an actor (playing the role of God) would be brought in on a stage crane (the "machine") to fix everything. Today, it's used for a person, who, with his sudden appearance, solves a twisted situation.
