In my book, each one of the romances make sense.
Liara is the sweet, nerdy girl who is looking for some guidance.
Ash is the take-charge tomboy, so it takes some work to get her guard down, but she feels comfortable enough to be effeminite with you.
Miranda is guarded, because she's confident in her abilities but doesn't know her place in the world.
Jack is the scarred one; she REALLY needs someone to help her get back to where she should be after all Cerebus did to her.
Tali is the sweet girl with the crush. The one who knows you're the only one for her.
I go either 1) Liara or Tali, 3) Miranda, 4) Ash, 5) Jack.
But they are ALL very compelling. I just wish they hadn't given Ash that hint of racism or clued you in to Jack's softer side earlier.
For me Jack's romance doesn't make sense. Yes, she needs someone to guide her back where she should be, but a relationship partner is exactly the wrong person for that. She needs someone who can retain some emotional distance in-between. A friend rather than a lover, someone who can tell her some hard truths without the fallout spilling over into other areas.
For everything else I agree with you. My preference for Miranda is exactly that - a preference and nothing more, even though it is rather absolute.
I see what you mean, BUT Jack seems like the type of person who wouldn't let anyone get close enough to let them help her. The romance is pretty much the on;y way to "save" her, IMO. There is the "good bud," option, but I don't think Jack is to the point where she can trust others on that level, esp when she talks about the number of "friends" who have used her for their own gains throughout her life.

"cheat" is a strong word, I'd Say my shep and Liara had a "mutual" break up
I'm sayin'! I've been talking about how these, "breakups" could've been handled better by the writing staff where Shep didn't seem insensitive to the LI and the LIs didn't come off as snobbish. Makes you almost WANT to break-up with them after they treat you.

Jack scared me!!!
This makes me think of the Natalie Portman rap... "My dick is scared of you!"

The funny thing is, after V for Vendetta, I can totally see Natalie Portman as portraying Jack.
