Lost S01E19 – Deus ex Machina

Deus ex Machina is a Latin phrase that means God from the Machine and was usually referring to a story where the writer would introduce something or someone that had previous lot appeared to solve a problem.  Usually this would be in the form of an actor playing a god who would be lowered into the set by a crane.So in this sense I believe it means that something falls from the sky to solve an unsolvable problem... kind of like an hatch that cannot be opened... hmmm!  This episode follows Locke and gives us some more flash backs to show us just how crappy his life was before the crash, bit of a theme there!  That said this is a very good episode and one that has links brilliantly with a storyline from season 2.  Almost there!
