SPOILERS!
Ok, so I need to give my opinion on the Thane romance. (I haven't yet gotten Kai Leng back for what he caused.)
On one hand, I think that it was decently handled. In terms of emotional intensity after all, his scenes were at the very top (his death scenes that is).
When he was fighting KL I was at the edge of my seat, horrified. When it turned out that the wounds weren't technically fatal, I felt relief...Terror when I learned that he needed blood for the surgery, and nobody was sure if Kolyat was ok. And then a sinking feeling when, even though the surgery was successful, Kepral's Syndrome ended up making it all for nothing. The scene with you reading the prayer with Kolyat was heartbreaking. As Shepard left she said, "I'll see you again soon." I was crying, paused the game for 5 minutes, felt depressed, and seriously considered stopping that Shepard and just starting a new one, before calming down.
And yet, it was also poorly handled.
The conversation with Thane in the hospital lobby fell into the same black hole that Garrus' "calibrations" did. There was so much time in which you could have talked to Thane, but there was only one conversation tree. His attitude there also seems a bit odd in terms of character development. In the romance scene in ME2, Thane is frustrated and crying when he realizes that he cannot accept death because he feels that he has something to live for again. And yet, when you see him in the hospital, he is back to (almost the same) condition he was in before that happened. It was...odd. Even though 6 months had passed.
But then, I'm the idiot who romanced the terminally ill character. Which is, I suppose, why I intend to make this Shepard die at the end. Hahaha
Sorry for the wall of text. Just had a lot to say on the topic
