Mass Effect 3 ending is comparable to a bad joke: If you have to explain your joke, you've told a bad one.
Do not blame the crowd if a joke doesn’t work, do not deem the audience ignorant fools. That will only make things worse.
Do not repeat it, everyone heard you, it just sucked. Nothing is going to change the second time around.
In fact, you actually end up calling more attention to how bad it was than if you had just moved on to a better one.

I completely agree with you Arcataye but I'm an eternal optimist. I fully expect there to be hand waving and something undesirable but I also think they realised that they did make a mistake and are going to correct it. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Wish I had your outlook. I'm a realist, bordering on pessimistic. I'm perfectly willing to wait for EC to come out, but my gut feeling is that this is going to be terrible. If I'm wrong, then I'll be ecstatic, but.... I just can't see how they will be able to "clarify" some of the plotholes, as the entire ending comes across as bad fanfiction. Filled with all kinds of novice narrative mistakes. Lots of hand waving to be made there, I'll bet, however it won't be a "clarification" and "closure" extended cut if it doesn't even address our concerns. Hand waving probably won't be a good thing.
Eh, I am saying this out of the assumption that at the very least, Walters will be involved with the EC, considering he's the lead writer. If Hudson is too, then my hopes for the EC to be good melt faster than ice cream left out in the middle of a hot Texan summer day. If, by some miracle, Hudson and Walters have been instructed to not even touch it, then my thoughts are significantly less depressing.
