to:
\\\'\\\'sudden or unexpected\\\'\\\'. Also, I don\\\'t see how you can have the plot event that \\\"humans were suddenly/unexpectedly rescued by some force utterly outside the context of this narrative\\\", then foreshadow it at the beginning, then suddenly it\\\'s not Deus Ex Machina because it was foreshadowed? That makes no since. \\\"foreshadow\\\" is not in the criteria nor in the article. The closest possible reference foreshadowing is in the criteria itself, summarized as \\\'\\\'even if they are featured or referenced earlier in the story\\\'\\\'.

We\\\'ve never even discussed what the \\\"foreshadowing\\\" was, so I\\\'ll assume it\\\'s the mysterious ghosts manipulating gravity at the begining, while the Deus Ex Machina was Cooper not dying a horrible spaghettifying death in the blackhole. Except that, Cooper being the ghosts is the direct result of the \\\'\\\'Machina\\\'\\\' and the intention of the \\\'\\\'Deus\\\'\\\'. So essentially you are saying that because a Deus Ex Machina could \\\"foreshadow\\\" itself via timetravel, it\\\'s not a Deus Ex Machine?
