    I’m not against it as a general rule, it’s just frustrating when it’s overused–ends up feeling like a deus ex machina thing.

      I think I generally agree. But it is like most the other things in the thread. The plot mechanic is fine when done well and bad when done poorly or as a cop out.

      So I think most of us just hate shitty storytelling.
