1. It was. An invasion is very clearly not an option because of the nature of the relay(and that you have no scouting information), you need a Reaper IFF, not something an entire fleet can get. Stealth is simply the best option.
1a. The Alliance barely has the military power to hold onto its colonies and you want them to blockade the relay? That is silly. Nothing guarantee that the Collectors cannot simply ping-pong to other relay immediately or have another base from where they can continue their operation. Aside from that they need to defend from other things than merely the Collectors.
1b. And why not? Paragon Shepard has always been to stop the bad guys before they get a chance to hurt more. Removing the Collector threat is the obvious step to stop them. Sure as hell better than waiting around for the Arrival.
1c. The point is moot. The Alliance does act, but within their means. They defend large colonies and evacuate small ones. Also for the whole sending vids... It is made abundantly clear that the Council and the top Alliance dogs knows what is going on but they are not willing to admit it and certainly not willing to start a panic.
2. See the latter of 1c.
3. There are, and enough to be plausible. The game has 2 spectres, Shepard and the DLC Asari. Also the main story was always to stop the reapers, becoming a spectre was merely an explanation why Shepard can go around everywhere and carry weapons and blow **** up.
4. The difference is traditionalism vs. innovation. Wrex wants to reform the Krogan while Wreav merely wants to unite them - it is the same reason why Wrex and his father disagreed and the guy became a merc in the first place.
5. There is a difference between being hit by an asteroid at immense speed and being flown off in a shockwave from a supernova. The science team probably also aimed at a calculated weak spot in the relay construct, causing it to crash to pieces.
6. It is very likely that Harbinger was just running a local science experiment while the reaper fleet was approaching the galaxy to invade or is that just utterly crazy? I mean it is very obvious that the reapers are invading before Shepard blows up the Collector base. Had he been 2 hours too late the reapers would have invaded Earth and could thus finish the human reaper.
7. Me too. ME.
Above Mac Walters twitter comment confirms that Reapers started moving after the events of ME1 and the Human Reaper was supposed to be a new reaper, not a new Vanguard. So, common sense tells us that the Collectors were just doing the ground work. They lack power to challence the whole Alliance (or whatever race they would have targeted) Fleet but thats not something Reapers lack once they have arrived.
So, if it werent for Shepard Reapers would have gone around, systematically destroy every fleet and whatever is resisting them and Collectors would just merrily go around collecting the resources and finished the project they started. There, new Reaper to join their ranks. Perfectly plausible plan.
Of course there is still the issue with the original ME2 ending, "You have failed, we will another way etc". Taken at face value this sentence really indicates that the Human Reaper was some kind of Plan B no matter how you look it. Twisting a simple sentence like this around (without any other sentences around it for context) and finding supposedly different meanings to it would be just silly, so there is only one word I can give you, word I also hate: Retcon. <_<
Well, it has happened before so why not now... I just hope Bioware tries to keep it minimum.
