deus ex machina1. A god in an ancient Greek or Roman play that suddenly appears in the storyline in order to solve a problem or decide an outcome.

The ancient Greek play makes use of a deus ex machina in which Apollo arrives on stage to restore order among the other characters.2. An ending in a performance or story that seems too contrived to be believable to the audience. Modern critics often pan 1980s-era television shows for the typical deus ex machina that writers often used to neatly wrap up episodes.See also: exex cathedraWith the authority that comes with one's position.
