if we do, can they be the original ones going through my rather NSFW brain?

We have an NSFW thread in the NSAS group

@Coldi (because your name is long) you sweet, wonderful, hilarious person. This was the best yet! Keep 'em coming! I actually laughed out loud...at work. Hard to explain when I'm not supposed to be on here.

@Lucy...can we get drunk at Purgatory? I didn't even bother.

[LucyMaire]

Yeah you can, and you wake up on Aria's couch It made me feel infinitesimally better about Thane. It was something.

i am so glad i wasn't the only one who promptly got drunk at purgatory.  i had done it before so i knew you woke up next to aria, but at least i could pretend that knowing look she gives you was SOME kind of understanding from someone in the game.

Exactly!! We must extrapolate from every side-glance we get, since we are so deprived of sympathy. I also forced myself to pretend the reason Shepard seemed like she was breaking before the final battle was due to Thane and the fact that she had to bury all of her feelings of loss and misery so she could continue fighting. It worked for a little. Until we got to say our goodbyes to everyone, and I was reminded that we never got to say goodbye or I love you to Thane.
Did that "never lose hope" email make anyone else cry? It made me cry when I read it in the lotsb and again after he died. So.heartbreaking. I was hoping he would never have to send it to me.

I got Shep drunk in Purgatory and well, I won't do it again.  The way Aria was looking at Shep, creepy.  Yes, I really played out the broken and emotionally spent Shepard, so much so that I think I may have overdone it because at times I was wimpering out loud, "I can't do this, I'm tired, my heart is broken, I just want this war over.  I want eternal sleep."  Really got into it.  I did the goodbyes to the ones that my Shep actually liked...didn't bother saying anything to Liara (usual there, I avoid her like the plague).  By the time Harby hit me with the beam, I felt spent and was hoping there wasn't too much more to go because I didn't know how much I had left in the tank.  I smiled when I shot TIM, he had Leng as his puppet so he was equally responsible for Thane's death. I got no last talk with Anderson, I was still pissy about Thane's messages getting blocked during those 6 months.  Didn't know if Anderson was really to blame but he was the closest thing to getting back at the Alliance.  I really blew it too, had low EMS and completely destroyed Earth, nobody stepped off the Normandy.   My final thought was, the sea it is so lovely...Thane....then, crap, I hope Kolyat made it off the Citadel.  

I did cry the first time I read the letter in lotsb and I still cry when I read it.  I can hear Thane's voice as I'm reading it, oh the heartbreak.

oh, i had  mixed feelings about seeing it.  it was heart-breaking to receive it after his death as thane intended, but also irritating that it was a rehash for those of us who did LOTSB.  i do understand not everyone got it there, however.

honestly, i keep looking at it when i check email and feeling angry, though, as it reminds me how out of character thane's response to shep seemed when she saw him again.  "we always knew it would end," was a crappy thing for bioware to have him to say, it seemed like a total brush-off, and then the letter reinforces how important she had been.

and let me just say it AGAIN because i am upset and finally allowing myself to voice all this on the forum tonight (sorry ya'll), i don't buy that he is healthy enough for shadow boxing but not healthy enough to go somewhere with shep for a few hours, and for some tender, gentle, minimally strenuous romance.  if he can shadow box, he can take a walk and then lie there while shep...

uh, never mind.

@utaker It was the same for me too. I was really enjoying the game up until the point Thane died and then I just lost the desire to play it. I was soo disappointed. Thane is one of the major reasons I love mass effect so much, so losing him in that awful way pretty much ruined the rest of the game for me.

@braxy Bahaha that was exactly what I was thinking. He doesn't have to do all of the work....

I rewatched ME2's Blur trailer and was hit with concurrent waves of nostalgia and depression. Thane was featured so prominently and he was AMAZING. He pulled off all those slick moves and was just so damn badass. I was hit with the full force of how much I MISS him. Makes me want to play through ME2 again just to experience some of my favorite moments again (like his recruitment mission/introduction) but it'd probably make me sadder.

Why did it have to end like this? ;_;

I know, and when he shoots 5 collectors, one after the other, I just died a little at how awesome it was

Also what I was thinking, but my Margurite was also very understanding about that little cario-vascular issue, and really just wanted to take him down to the Commons and sit by the lack with him, talking and laughing, taking a nice slow romantic stroll, maybe a kiss now and then and...

Damn me and my NSFW brain.

[mnomaha]

You know, I'm sitting here thinking about things. One of the writers (?) liked Keprals to Cystic Fibrosis. I wonder how the CF community as a whole would feel to know that they are defined by their illness. Still contemplating...I do know a few people.

Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was put off by the "we always knew it would end".   This Thane, was not the one my Shep romanced in 2.  That line irritated me.  Almost as much as her manhandling him in front of the window.    Although he did seem to have emotion when he first saw her, too bad after that and the paragon interrupt kiss the whole thing turned bad.  Actually, I wasn't pleased when he offered to protect Kaidan.  Hello... Shep needs protection...from big bad Reapers and Kaidan's hormones.  "If he means something to you"....I wish I could have stopped that right there...ummm, NO, he doesn't and don't bother I plan on shooting him later anyway.  
Yeah my mind went south real fast when I realized that he could shadow box but said he couldn't do anything else, I had the same train of thought you did...trust me, my mind went way south.

The continuing saga of "All my beer and Drell's n ***t."
　
*Vega, Cortez, Jack and Kasumi stand in the elevator....anxiously pacing, waiting for the doors to open to the Captian's loft.*
Vega- "Amigo, are you sure you saw her take THAT gun??
Cortez- " For the MILLIONTH time, yes, yes!! I saw her take the Geth Plasm Shotgun, pendeho!
Jack- "Sssss**t! That's a mother of a gun. Man, if she off's herself with THAT gun, it's gonna make a helluva mess."
Kasumi-"Jack....don't say that. She'll be fine. She's drunk, not crazy."
Vega- "Uhhhhhh....weren't you the one hollerin' the other night for someone to pull her 'crazy arse' out from da bar? And what's with the the weird ***t that seems to happen around her....Kaidan laid out cold (well, that happens a lot), I get hit in the back of the head with a dumbell outta nowhere. And let's NOT pretend we don't all see the conversations she has to thin air, damn!"
Jack- "Ha, you all shoulda seen the ***ked up piece of ***t she had Tali make her....not to mention the TAT! No really....she's really into some weird ***t; turtles or frogs or somethin'."

*this is a reeeaaaallly long elevator ride....see what happens when the damn Alliance gets there mitts on stuff......stupid load screens..... Elevator finally stops at the Captain's Loft, and four anxious bodies fall out of it.*

PDS -<aiming the GPS at the fishtank (yeah, yeah, no harm was done to the fish blah, blah, belch...she already killed them off anyway)> "Don't move. I've got better plans for you. Who needs stinkin' fish....a tank of Bourbon is better...heHA <drool>"
*Before anyone has a chance to stop Perpetually Drunk Siha-ahhh Shepard, she shoots the shotgun* <BLAM>
PDS- "GOALLLLLLLLLLL!"
Kasumi- "Shepard! You blew a hole through your fishtank!!"
PDS- "Yup! Now ima gonna fill it up wit vodka...no, Bourbon! You people can steal ALL my cups then...when I'm thirsty, I'll just go for a liddle swim....ppppbbbbtttt!"
*Jack looks around at the rest of them.*
Jack- "Funny.......<looks back at PDS> Uh, Shep? Ya do realize that due to the GIANT HOLE in the tank, the booze won't...you know...stay in it?
PDS- "Shush....don't bore my with your logic, Kojak! It's gonna be fine, ain't it my bootiful Drell."
Thane in Hallucination Form - "That's right, Siha. Now.....flip them the bird and blow another rasberry."
Mordin in Hallucination Form - <sniff> *tilting his head, back and forth at Thane* "Apparantly suffering from a contact high. <sniff> Reserved, no more."

[coldwetn0se]

Sorry for interrupting your lovely discussion with "drunk and disorderly".

I too think that Shep's lines were just as jarring (maybe even more so) than Thanes during those very few convo's. But one the worse lines of Thane's was the one you all are quoting, "We always knew it would end." Well, duh! Technically that is true for everyone, but dammit boy....only six months before you were talking about living and trying to change your fate!! It sooo didn't fly with the romance arc at all. It was cheap and lazy.

As for CF, I would hate to think that any of them just are "accepting" death. And of course, being defined by their illness.

Here it is-http://social.biowar...3/index/7648602

I remember when I first read it and felt a little hopeful.

[Hadeedak]

I swear, I have an image of Kaidan telling Robin "I know why you cheated." And Robin LAYING HIM THE HELL OUT. And then Kaidan sort of being like "What?" After she's gone. And Garrus popping up from the other side of the restaurant fence with flashcards.

'Thane just died. Congrats, you look like a spacedouche.' And Kaidan being all like "D: WHY DID NOT ONE TELL ME".

Of course, not a problem, because in canonRobin, Kaidan got Virmire'd after Robin fell for him. Then she fell for the dying, yet incredibly hot man on a SUICIDE mission. Robin's sort of a hero when it comes to love.

[kitteh-1]

So I mostly lurk, but I'm popping in to say my two cents here (already did in the "petition" thread but I didn't want to be redundant in a thread with a succinct purpose).

Alright--I'm OK (not happy, but OK) with Thane dying. That's fine to me, because I can see the argument that a cure is "unrealistic." (I don't agree with it, but I can see it.) But his scenes were so poorly written that I just cringed. Just... the eff. It was cobbled together at the last second, and there's really no denying that.

I hate having to fill in so many of the blanks myself. Sure, I have an imagination, but I had to use it to fill 90% of the gaps created and infer a whole lot from very little.

Anyway, a million others have probably said the same, but *shrug*. Moar lurking now.

The line how they always intended Thane to die is total bs.  The original writer of Thane said he didn't know where BW would take Thane's character, after he left the company.

Right, you'd think BW would inform their writers of a character's pre-determined fate. Otherwise it could lead to some conflicting dialogue-like Thane telling Shep he was not at peace with his death and a few months later dumping him in a hospital, content to spend the rest of his time on the citadel. BW must have mulled over letting Thane live at one point or another.
