[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 5183170, member: 41321"] I wouldn't call that Deus ex Machina. Like jaerdaph said, it was perfectly reasonable that a car they had lived in their entire life would have toys lodged in it somewhere. Deus ex Machina comes out of nowhere. It would have been Deus ex Machina if last minute Dean or Bobby came up with a secret formula he could splash on Sam that would lock Satan away in the cage and not hurt Sam. Deus ex Machina was why I stopped watching Fringe. But they've been setting this up for the entire season since we found out Sam was Lucifer's vessel. It was not the Impala or the army man that gave Sam the strength to rebel. It was Dean and the years they had spent together, the bond between them. I said this before in the thread, but remember that it was not the army man that made Sam hesitate. He stopped when Dean said, "I'll never leave you." That was the moment when he realized Dean was not here to stop him or save him, Dean was there just because he couldn't stand to let his brother die alone. The army man was just icing on the cake. Icing is not Deus ex Machina. [/QUOTE]
