on the Deus ex Machina thing, it's literal translation is "A God from machine" and if it was literal, then I'd say the reapers are the closest definition to it, solely because of how powerful one is, and how many consciousness' are in them. Also because of how we know so little about them. But the Romans used the term to describe a situation that was unexpectedly fixed, by means prevously unthought of. So i do not believe Javik is a deus ex machina either.
