In response to "A Very Literal Dues Ex Machina":

The catalyst could well be considered a god. Since you are a fan of dictionary definitions: "a supernatural being, who is worshipped as the controller of some part of the universe or some aspect of life in the world or is the personification of some force."- From Dictionary.Com.

To put it rather bluntly however, the Catalyst is a dues ex machina. That has been established, and quite frankly, it's pretty obvious.

In response to "Conflict of Interest"

I'm not talking about the problems the characters face, or why the Catalyst was created. I'm talking about how the major themes, motifs, and conflicts were not addressed in the ending.

In response to "The Human Element":

You talk to them, but that isn't resolution. Your dialogue with them contributes more to the rising action than anything else. Popping a few images up of random characters doesn't quite cut it.
