Now that the endings are fully spoiled and many (most?) of us on here are pissed, how would you change them?  Say you were the writer in charge of coming up with the ending, what would you change, or what would you add?

My issue with the endings isn't that the endings seem bad, but that even with a 100% perfect playthrough it's not possible to even have a semblance of a happy ending.  To me, that wouldn't be "sunshine and bunnies" but sure billions are dead but Civilization can go on and Shepard can live a somewhat happy life (granted we don't know if the "new game+ ending" has something like this as it seems to be hidden well enough). 

I do like the possibliity of apocalyptic endings but the fact that nothing you do can prevent the apocalypse... with a choice between "galaxy is destroyed" and "galaxy mostly destroyed, blasted into dark age" just doesn't sit right to me after all this.  

I'd simply add a "rare ending" which would require nearly max readiness/war assets, nearly max paragon/reputation, and certain other choices need to be made.  I don't know how I would write it, but I'd have whatever MacGuffin that controls the ending send the reapers millions of light years away... leaving them as a possible future threat, but giving the galaxy ample time to prepare... and an excuse not to continue stagnating... and Shepard is victorious, he gets the girl, etc. etc... Sure it's cliche and should essentially require you to do either multiple playthroughs or follow a strategy guide but it should at least be an option!
