Let's start slicing then.
1. There is cryo-freezing (a la Purgatory.) Hurtling through space with a rupture + death then smashing through an atmosphere, being flattened onto the planet: this is not cryo-freezing.
Shepard didn't flatten on the planet or smash through an atmosphere. Not only would his body likely have been reduced to cinders, but the only injuries noted by Miranda's logs on the Lazarus facility come either from the explosion (i.e. the ship) or exposure to vacuum and sub-zero temperatures (i.e. being spaced). That the cutscene showing Shepard flying off into space doesn't fit with this is worth pointing out--it does look like he falls straight down onto the planet below. Would have been more consistent with what you see and learn later if he'd simply floated off into orbit, but I guess they though him falling toward the planet was more dramatic or something.
Bottom line is, space is cold. As a matter of coincidence, so is the planet they were orbiting at the time, if the Normandy Crash Site is anything to go by.
2. We can see, talk to and learn about the asari. We can't see, talk to, or learn about how Sheaprd died, how Shepard was preserved, and how Shepard was brought back, in any clear, discernable, or scientific, detailed or literary-device using means.
The asari are hot blue human female-like aliens who resemble human females for no reason other than to have a race of hot blue human females. This is far from "scientific." The likelihood of such a thing even existing makes the likelihood of the Lazarus Project working seem like a triviality by comparison.
You're missing my point, though. I'm saying "It may not be possible, but in the context of the series you have plenty of room to suspend your disbelief." I'm not saying it's really possible; I'm saying it doesn't have to be to work for the purposes of the story. Science fiction is built on science that isn't real. The very concept of "mass effect" is one such example. That there might be a way to get a dead person living again hardly seems inappropriate for such a story; asking for a technical explanation is pointless. Not only is it unrealistic to expect a technical explanation for a fictional science achievement that's intended to be fantastical in the first place, it would probably bore the crap out of people. So they say, "It took billions of dollars, two years, and we had to use cybernetics to get things moving at some point." It's enough. The only people who care about specifics beyond that are people who're determined to see holes in the story.
