Hey if we can adapt the teachings of Family Guy in any way, it's this: Miranda/Yvonne obsession isn't the problem, you just need to find a safe space in which to partake.
That's probably a good way of thinking of it 
True.
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
And what do you mean Miranda doesn't get a badass scene?! She...uh, she...um, well...she knocks an old man (who was surrendering) out of a window! Yeah... <_<
Am I the only one that sees this for its potential? Yeah, it would've been nice for the actual game to not ignore the character, but to me it's basically a flashing sign for a Miranda centric DLC.
Think about it, if you take the ME2-only characters, which one gets the short end of the stick that actually makes sense? Sure, Thane is only there for a short bit of the game, but his character was
supposed to be near death, and he went out like a hoss.
Let's go through the list:
-Grunt trucks through a mess of reaper-rachni, like a boss
-Jack takes out Cerberus troops left and right, like a boss
-Jacob.... seriously, who gives a **** about Jacob? But even he saves the lives of families and scientists from Cerberus
-Samara takes down banshees, like a boss
-Legion paves the way for peace between the Geth and the Quarians, like a boss
-Mordin dies saving an entiire species from a plague, like a boss
-Thane, half dead, stops greasy Kai Leng's assassination attempt, like a boss
For a flagship squad member of the second game, Miri is kind of left in the shadows, much like Liara from the second game. Liara was a flagship character from the first game, left off the squad in the second (I'm sure to plenty of rustled jimmies, though I didn't care at the time since she wasn't my favorite character), and got a rather lengthy DLC out of it.
I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet LotSB was ME2's most popular DLC for Bioware. A story driven DLC featuring a past squad member that was oddly missing from the game, and who is there to fit the bill in the third game? For every other past squad mate of Shepard's, their where-abouts throughout the game are for the most part known with little-to-no wiggle room.
DLC with Grunt, he's with Aralakh company, and while that might be cool, you've already done it and it doesn't add anything new. DLC with Jack, she's with her Alliance Biotics, again, doesn't add anything new, or interesting if you think about it. DLC with Jacob and no one will buy it, because **** Jacob.DLC with Samara, while you get some wiggle-room, her character isn't the strongest and we've already got Asari-centric DLC. DLC with Legion is almost impossible, since your interactions with him are limited almost entirely to that part of the campaign, Mordin as well. And Thane is only in the game for a short time, and he's sick and in the hospital for 99% of it.
But with Miri, she's secretive on her whereabouts for basically the whole game and would be super easy to incorporate into DLC. Need to go liberate Omega from Cerberus? Boom, Miranda has important information and will meet you there. Need to take care of a rogue reaper? Miranda intercepted some strange transmissions and, after following some clues, needs to call in the muscle.
TL;DR- Miranda's character, throughout ME3, is perfectly situated to provide a vehicle for story-driven DLC, ala LotSB
