Nah don't be, you had to put up with my terrible grammar. I say that evens out.

I love that pic! I just started Teddy over as an Adept to import Arrival over, and I can totally see her doing biotic tricks with Kaidan

b..bbut but you don't have terrible grammar. Sure a few mistakes here and there, but it's not terrible...I'm terrible for forgetting, but I swear it never happened before! Won't happen again, I promise I promise I promise:(

So you're the one who did that image.  Always liked that one and the Cheating pic.  I wish more people did something with Shep as a biotic.

Oh, I totally agree on how you see him.  But I was never comfortable with the superior/subordinate relationship.  I would even go so far to say that it would be more realistic for my main Shepard to have been single in both ME 1 & 2, even if she was attracted to Kaidan, because even in crazy circumstances, she shouldn't have broken that particular rule.  So I'm hoping that at least this part of the article is true.

I see what you mean. For me it was that kind of a spice in their relationship, that made it interesting. Besides, they both seemed to understand that the deeper they are into this mess with Saren, the higher the possibility they can not make it out alive. So in my rp, Shepard went for the guy she liked, and damn the consequences. They could figure it out later, but only if both of them survive.

But there are other things that make this whole Spectre thing... hard to get used to. I still may read things wrong, so forgive me my lousy explanations and the following ranting, sometimes I just can't form sentences to express what I mean. But I need to get things out of my mind.

(rant part you can skip reading, if it sounds rubbish to you)

Current dispute about Shepard being Alliance. I get it that every player can interpret it in his own way, but I don't understand how, at the moment she became a Spectre, Shepard stopped being Alliance. In my game she was still using military doctrine, resources, she was respectful towards other Alliance officers, maintaining contacts -and- was aware of consequences of fraternizing. Nobody never said "Shep's a Spectre now so she can sex up anyone she wants, because she's not Alliance anymore".

Reading many posts on the forums, most players definitely believe that being a Spectre automatically made them Alliance "veterans" and they can kiss their arses. And "how they dare summon my Shepard on some idiotic trial?". Also, in similar topic on Polish section, nobody seemed to understand that being (honorably) killed in action doesn't strip you of your title or any connection to the military. In short - death on duty doesn't stop you from being a soldier. But I may be wrong - I don't know who ordered Shepard to "patrol" in the Traverse. I suck at politics too.

Kaidan is wearing Alliance uniform under the armor. IF he's a Spectre, these explanations come to my mind:

Humans of the Council greatly influenced and changed the position of a Spectre. In ME2 it felt like just a gimmick, a scary tale you could scare kids with, but nothing else. Of course I know it might be because the Council refused to support Shepard mainly because of Cerberus, but also because she was deep into the Traverse. Wait. You're basically black ops, why would they care (besides "Ah yes, Reapers")?

At the same time Vasir is a classical Spectre, which of course buries my above theory, Shepard just gets the "special treatment".
or
Making Alliance soldier a Spectre doesn't really stop him from belonging to Alliance.
or
Kaidan has a sense of duty that I don't think diminished during two years, quite the opposite. But at the same time that might make him change his way of doing things by cutting corners which he was against by now. He knows the real threat and maybe something finally pushed him towards taking any measures to obtain his goal. That would make sense considering we theorized about him being "hardened" after Shepard's death. You can also apply that to Ashley. So, they join Spectres.

Of course there may be more, and it certainly creates interesting possibilities.

(end of the rant part)

My first speculations, when I saw that uniform on him, were different. I believe he's still Alliance soldier, he has nothing to do with the Council and the Spectres, he and Shepard don't operate in the same line anymore (thus no reasons to be afraid of getting into intimate relationship), and while the reasons why he joins Shepard back may be various, making him a Spectre sounds like just adding a flashy gimmick to make VS more popular or "attractive". Looking on the forums actually makes me believe this is taking an opposite effect, so yeah, I prefer to wait for confirmation, and while there are many weird things on my mind (as you see the proof above), I can totally swallow them up and admit that I'm wrong in some places. And even accept the Spectre thing, thou I don't see it necessary for the plot.

PS: I'm confused, is it a spectre or specter... I'm going with what the Wiki says...

My take on things as far as Alliance/Spectreship goes, is either still tied to some degree to thier former affiliation, or it could be that since Shep's the first human Spectre, they're kinda winging it since it's new territory.  Over the course of a couple years, they've likely hashed it out more.  Unfortunately we really don't see the different perspectives from the other species on how they handle it.

With my LaZorra, with her Earthborn/Sole Survivor background, since she 'came from nothing, never had nothing', joining the Alliance finally gave her something good which ended up getting taken away with the slaughter on Akuze.  It's left her twitchy about having something and it getting taken away.  Her interest in Kaidan started out just honest curiousity since his life experiences were so radically different than hers, but as that grew into more and the threat of possible death on Ilios was enough for her say stuff it to the regs just so she could have something good again before her potential death.  Very likely after saving the Citadel she'd be torn between not wanting to give up her something good and the Alliance regs, and figuring to just wing it until possible discovery.

Needless to say, as much as she could handle the Alliance cutting her off, Horizon was her breaking point (my reasoning for her bad dialog is she was completely blindsided by Kaidan's snapping at her) to where with Kaidan's email all that registered was "Been two years, with a pretty doctor now.  Take Care".

So, if Kaidan really is a spectre come ME3 and they repatch things up, her take'll likely be 'no rules about fraternizing between spectres?  You get the dresser drawers on the left and the right side on the bed, and watch out since Urz hogs the foot'.  I could even see them doing a husband/wife spectre team until they decide to settle down somewhere quiet.

I had this great argument all wrote out and then my power went out. Hurray for crazy storms! So let me say that I pretty much agree with everything you guys said and was going to help try and strength some facts.

Oh and Easter Kaidan is the scariest thing I've seen all day.

I think it's cute and it was nice that Aslan thought of us.

Some of us are happy to get any presents...

Another poll
social.bioware.com/1186592/polls/18958/

This time he excludes Tali (Tali being the 1st and Kaidan came up 2nd place from his previous poll) Lets bump Kaidan's position to #1 this time around

[syllogi]

Jho's Kaidan with Bunny seems appropriate today, hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend:

It's very very hard for me to think of Kaidan and Fem!Shep. Though him and Man!Shep sounds oddly intriguing. Think that will be put in ME3?

Kaidan is straight in 1 and straight in 2, why the hell would they make him bi in 3.  They can do that with other characters.  I wasn't happy when they did it in DA2.  It's unnecessary to ruin a character by making him all of a sudden gay.  I am not anti gay.  I am anti Kaidan gay.
