Deus ex machina 3C

「時間旅行」、「蟲洞」、「平行宇宙」、「奇蹟」等情節，都是「天外救星」。它們的出現往往代表，該故事有著，不可修補的漏洞。

故事凡是時間錯亂，就宣稱是「時間旅行」。

故事凡是地點有誤，就宣稱是「瞬間轉移」。

故事凡是自相矛盾，就宣稱是「平行宇宙」。

故事凡是有違常理，就宣稱有「奇蹟」。

天外救星 3

Time travels, wormholes, parallel universes, miracles are all deus ex machina.

When a story’s author uses those deus ex machina, it means that the story broken, in the sense that the story has plot holes that the author cannot fix. 

With time travel, the story’s time logic is given up. With wormholes, the story’s space logic is given up. With parallel universes, the story’s internal consistency is given up. With miracles, the story’s scientific consistency is given up.
