  So, in all my playthroughs, two of them where I saved the council, 1 where I put humans in control and 1 where I set an all human council, I let Anderson become the Council representative/chairman. So how come he is back on earth being an Alliance admiral?? Maybe I missed something.... Fill me in if u know something I don't.

That "suggestion" at the end of ME1 was a jedi mind trick, you actually forced the Council and Anderson to do your bidding. These people have no stories that don't revolve around Shepard.

[Icinix]

He resigned in one of the novels.

A lot of people are hoping there is more explanations and filler in than the demo showed.

A lot of people will come in and go "Waah, cry, pre-order cancelled."

But I'm sure it will get explained at some point in the game proper.

I have'nt read the novel's but apparently he steps down from the council in one of them

[Armass81]

Anderson resigned sometime after ME2. I guess he got tired of politics...

And there is no all human council, there never was. Asari, salarians and turians chose new councillors. You will see them in ME3 if you killed the original council.

[Vikxx86]

Thanx guys. that explains a lot. I would too...if i were in his shoes. Imagine every time u try to bring up the subject of Reapers and the Turian council member holds up his creepy arms and says,"Ah! Reapers!" Screw all politicians.

[AlphaJarmel]

They did a crappy job of explaining certain things in the intro and that is one of them.

[Gabey5]

The books suggest he left the council because of their lack of movement on the Reaper threat, he is also fighting Cerberus, so he felt he could do more off the council

Also he would not miss shepard's hearing

yeah it just humans "dominate" the new council politically since they are so weakened militarily/politically  after the attack, it is/was a temporary advantage

The novels weren't very clear if he resigned from the council or the alliance. In fact, they never mentioned he was ever a councilor representing the humans. The wording was strongly suggesting Udina was the human councilor but that was not very clear either.

whatever...its just that I'd hate to see the face of Udina when I go to the Citadel. He strikes me as "Our Own Worst Enemy"

I'm going to assume he heard shepards case and got involved. Something is telling me he'll still be on the council when you start playing the regular game later.

Nah, instead of Anderson hitting him this time. You get too! and make sure you make it personal.

Actually it flat out stated Udina was the Councillor, and that Anderson was an Admiral. That's now the canon choice for the end of ME1, and the vast majority that chose differently have had oir games reshaped to reflect this new status quo, but we don't yet know how.

In the intro Shepard mentions Anderson backing him in the trial as it was thanks to his faith that he wasn't court-martialed and tried as a criminal.

He stepped down and let the next in line Udina handle it as for all intents and purposes, nothing was getting done.  He felt he could be more use on earth.

[Nezzer]

The fact that he was a councilor and stepped down is not even mentioned in the demo. And some people still say the intro doesn't feel rushed...

That's why the intro should've been longer, with more events and dialogue.

Considering the cut content and the pacing of the demo to be action-oriented, it met its objective fine.  Avoids minor and major spoilers while thrusting people into ME3.

If you really wanted your story fix you would be sorely disappointed even if they added as much dialogue as they possibly could, people would always want more.  You won't get enough until the main game comes out.

Well, it seems the first part of the demo is the entire intro, where BW simply assumes the player have read Retribution, Deception and Conviction and played Arrival. All these are extra content and shouldn't be required to fully understand the events of game.

I'm not disagreeing its the intro, I'm disagreeing its the completed content for Shep.

Oh ya, I remember there was a huge uproar for this line in the book.

From here
page 109 of Mass Effect: Retribution:(not really spoilers)

"Aria recognized Anderson's name: he was an advisor to Councilor Donnel Udina, and one of the highest ranking diplomatic officials in the alliance"

Basically, Anderson got sick of politics and beaurocracy and quit. Him being on earth is simple; he took over as de facto captain of the Normandy (if I'm correct about Conviction) to escort Shepard to earth for the trial and to support him. Not very hard to deduce.
