Well, if we're just talking the ability to get jobs, being typecast isn't always the worst thing. Michele Rodriguez has made a small fortune with that...

He can't cook, I never said he doesn't sprout philosophy or read really invigorating text.

Or it could be, you know, the daily progress report on Phoenix.

Can sheploo read philosophy?  Sure!
Can sheploo read philosophy while in the same room as miranda in skimpy clothing?  My suspension of disbelief goes only so farPosted Image

She isn't in skimpy clothes in that photo, that's sleepwear. She has on a top and some shorts.

Unless that touch is leading somewhere....

It's somewhat skimpy bro.  Not in a bad way, but she is smuggling raisins...

You're challenging the artistic integrity of that piece. The room is obviously cold, that's CLEARLY the reason things are that way.

Oh, but now I can see why they would...

Because it's cold...

Interpretations!

Why would it be cold? It would be standard temperature....so...they're just there. *Ahem* >_>

I don't see why it couldn't.

They could be in Alaska or something. We have no context as to where they are. That's the wonder of interpretation.

It's just chilly that's all. **** happens.

That could be the Artist's representation of the Captain's Cabin. Miri is probably not wearing a *Ahem* Bra.

....:innocent:

It's room temp, Miri's just excited :)

Are we in agreement that post-destroy going forward, Miri is far more useful actively (not just as a symbol) than Shep? I could see her actually having ideas for how to rebuild society and/or the ability to implement these ideas.

Yes, Luis, that was the conclusion everyone else had come to...

I can't believe I've let this conversation get this far...

It's whatever you want it to be. Captains Cabin. A random space ship. A base in Alaska.

Yes, I can her doing it. Oriana can be there too, as can Shepard.

I would think my Shepard would want to help with the Refugees, to prevent anyone from being...removed from their families.

That is to say he'd be helping organize shelters and data for people to help them settle somewhere, to be fed and such.

I see Miranda as doing the architectural things. Building plans and such.

I could see her going farther than that. She's great at organization and project management. I could see her as a MAJOR cog helping to rebuild socity. I mean, she's ex-cerberus, but she fought with the alliance in the end, and Shep vouches for her, so I think society will let it go.

And she raised the dead. Last time anyone did that, they built a religion around it :)

Shepard: Hey Miranda, what do you think about joining me on some archaeological digs?

Miranda: You're mad if you think I'm going to become a Damsel in Distress while you save me from incompetent threats while wearing a hat and jacket, fighting with an old whip, just because you've seen in an an old 20th Century Film. Your ideas for a Vacation are horribly odd at times.

Shep:...but I already practiced with the whip.  And I bought a 20th centure revolver!  Whine!!

That is the plan, but you can't just make **** sprout over night.

Shepard has to recover, be debriefed. They have to decide on what to do. They have to make plans to rebuild.

Shepard can deal with the people, Miranda can deal with the technical aspects.

And that's that. Perhaps a child can come along down the road, once things are on track.

But first, beratement, for not being careful...

Yep for anyone who has raised the dead, repairing the relays is going to be a cake walk, that's why she will be the project manager for this in my Shep's universe.

Weekes didn't write Jack in ME2 and has gone on record as disliking her before he took on the challenge of writing her. But Jack's content feels dense than Miranda's and there's growth while still feeling very much lie Jack. Miranda is blurred and indistinct.


Jack's growth always strikes me as forced. A person doesn't stop being a psycotic **** in a period of six months. I liked what they did with the character, but I don't see a change like that happening that soon. And I don't agree it feels like Jack, she's still a ****, but her suddenly caring about other people and forgeting all that hatred? Not likely.


Like lots of things in ME3 her plot only works if you paragoned her. Renegaded Jack who murdered her fellow captive should in no way become a teacher.

Hmm, this raises questions. Post-Destroy, who would become the new Human Councillor?

I don't see Shepard doing it, because they like being in the field and while Hackett would be definitely great at the job, I can't imagine him wanting to leave his fleet, they're both too much of a soldier.

Honestly, I could see Shepard putting Miranda's name foward as a candidate. Despite her past with Cerberus, she's ridiculously qualified, a problem-solver and more importantly, she knows how Cerberus thinks, so she would be the best person suited to weed out any pockets of resistance.

Jack gets two scenes and a kiss (I think she gets a kiss?). 

And the goodbye transmissions aren't even close in comparison (Miri's is SO MUCH BETTER).

Jack may have growth, but it's all offscreen anyways (we dont' see her grow, we see what she's become.  Kinda like Liara in ME2).

It's not the amount of content. Miranda arguably got more than the other ME2 team members. It's the quality, and that they mutilated her and replaced her with an impostor. As for being offscreen, everything interesting that Miranda might be doing is also offscreen - or it doesn't exist at all where it should.

I think that was the point of Jacks arc was that she wasn't a psychotic killer. Everytime she kills it's because she's threatened. She doesn't kill indiscrimintly like everyone in the game makes her out to be. And yeah - she's a **** but so is Miranda, Ashley and Liara. It's not that Jack HATED people. She hated a lot of people for sure like anyone in Cerberus - I mean you would too. Anyone would after going through Pragia. And she clearly still does in ME3. 

She did kill indiscriminately. Can I say....*cough*..."vandalism"? It's gone in ME3, but she pretty much came from being a psychotic killer. Any growth away from that must've happened before ME2, because she isn't that anymore after we get her off Purgatory.
