We took out a formidable ally of the Reapers in the Collectors, that has to count for something.

You mean the enemy immediately introduced in ME2, then killed off right in the same game?

Yeah, that totally accomplished a lot. ME2 was just filler for the trilogy, it seems.

@ Marshalleck -- I meant "nuke" as a generic term for an explosive WMD, which need not be a typical 21st century style nuke like we have today. But while a traditional nuke would pale in comparison to the amount of destruction naturally occurring in the galactic core, the squad was pretty sure that the Collector base or planet existed in a "safe zone" within the core. And I'm still not sure why TIM thought it a good idea to send the squad out to destroy a planet with little more than machine guns and rocket launchers.

Maybe TIM thought Thane was contagious.

We were introduced to Cerberus, the Illusive man and a lot of character there are likely to play a big hole in ME3.
.
Not to mention we disovered what the collectors were up to (stopped them) and uncovered a lot of info about the reapes.

Well TIM was holding the idiot ball, as were many characters in ME2. Sending a single warship through the relay is pretty questionable, but they'd have to send someone through eventually. Might as well be a crack team of infiltrators and demolitionists just in case there's something useful they can accomplish.

Aye. I always did wonder why they didn't attach the Reaper IFF to a probe first to at least quickly scout out the area and see if the jump was actually safe and didn't instantly drop you into a mass of automated defenses, a singularity, et cetera. But I guess the most logical decision is having the person I invested 4 billion+ credits in and a ship worth 120 billion+ credits make a blind jump.

Mass Effect 2 was basically an episode of the A-Team sandwiched between two epic space operas

Re: OP

Play ME3 and find out.

@ SNascimento -- Just who do you think is likely to play "a big hole in ME3"!? My personal preference would be Thane, but female ME fans I've met at SciFi and comic conventions really seem to dig him.

@ Lunatic LK47 -- I have NO IDEA whether or not Tali will be an admiral in ME3, but I would not be surprised if it happens. Tali herself said that she was being seriously considered for the role even though she didn't seem to be too excited about it, and concluded that it wasn't going to happen soon anyway since Quarians really like to debate.

Not to say that you haven't made good points on why she wasn't qualified, but seriously, did you see the other admirals running the Migrant Fleet? Are you seriously saying that she couldn't match and exceed the Quarians' existing standards?

To answer your question, I'd probably say "yes." Nowhere in her past life does she say she's good at doing politics, and despite her altruism for the Quarian race, I have not seen anything else she's capable of doing other than being a hyper-competent engineer. She couldn't discipline seven or eight idiot Marines on Freedom's Progress, only has Kal-Reegar and Veetor as support (provided Shepard saved them that is). Last time I checked, no one bothered siding with Tali unless Shepard opened the can of worms about her trial being nothing but a scam, and even then, how can she exactly lead the entire fleet despite popular demand?
