What shuttle crash are you guys talking about?

The story progression of RvB is funny because once they realised they were making an actual serious story they had to desperately try and make it work with all the nutty stuff that came before

Wait a minute... RvB got serious? I stopped watching at season 2 (not because I didn't like it, but because I forgot it existed).

The codex flat out says four dreadnoughts - less if they have Thanix cannons installed - can take down a sovereign class Reaper, and a single cruiser, or even just a group of single person fighters can take down a destroyer.

The codex also says the asari were doing a fairly good job of killing the Reapers until they switched tactics and started bombarding Thessia, which was when the asari switched from offensively fighting them, to defending Thessia. That is when the asari fleet started to lose.

Earth is already basically complete rubble, no need to defend it from bombardment.

Why Sovereign was like a million times more powerful than the actual Reapers fought in ME3, and as described in the Codex, I dont know, but it was. Hell, even in the space battle, you see a Reaper get destroyed by like two ships.

The Reapers could be defeated conventionally, it really isnt as hard as people would have you believe. Your idea that the amassed fleet could only take out 10 Sovereign-class reapers at best is just silly.

How many dreadnoughts are there? Per wiki...
Turians: 39 in ME2 (let's give them 45)
Asari: 20 in ME2 (let's give them 25)
Salarian: 15 in ME2 (let's give them 20)
Human: 9 in ME3
Volus: 1.
Say the accumulated fleets add you the equivalent of 50. We're at 150 of those ships. Now I'll round-up, to the nearest number divisible by four. 152. That equates to 38 dead Reapers.

Not all dreadnoughts will survive an encounter. Let's cut them down by a fourth, every encounter loses one ship. Down to, say, 116 (rounded up again for ease, and to be VERY optimistic). 29 more Reapers, and then 28/29 less ships. And now there are 88. 22 less Reapers, 22ish less ships.

68 ships take out 17; 52, +13/-13; 40, +10/-10; 32, 8/8; 24, 6/6; 20, 5/5; 16, 4/4; 12, 3/3; 8, 2/2; 4, 1/1. 3, out of ships, maybe one more for good measure.

Reapers destroyed: ~160. And again, I was pretty generous.

I guess it depends on how many Reapers you think are out there. If Reaper forces totaled somewhere around 1,000, that might be enough when you factor in all the other ships. But IMO, that number is probably more realistic somewhere around the 10,000's.

It got both serious and AWESOME. It's basically fully animated now and the new season has freakin' Elijah Wood voice acting.

So, I just finished assaulting TIM's base and talking with Anderson about how the Citadel is now at Earth.

Traynor is all "Engineer Adams would like to speak with you, Commander."

I go talk to him and he's all "Could you keep an eye out for a thermal pipe the next time you're on the Citadel?" and Shep is all "Sure, I'll buy one next time I'm there."

You'd think Bioware would have disabled that mission after a certain point.

Does Adams expect me to pick up a thermal pipe before or after I chat with TIM and Anderson?

Maybe godchild will give me a good deal on one.

I took that one already a few days ago. Very nice survey. Of course, I checked the box for "do you like IT?"

Your shuttle crashed directly before the beam run. New analysis leads some of us to believe that the hallucination starts right after the crash, before Harbys laser.

Well, it got sillier and sillier up to Season 5 (a man getting pregnant, time travel, all sorts of crazy stuff), but then it got pretty serious (but still hilarious) starting with Reconstruction (Season 6)

I was talking about how the white light still technicaly happens (even though inside the hallucinion at this point.... (hey! you get multiple white lights in the geth consensus.))  

You do, but you get a bright light to show you the start of the dream first. No such thing in the shuttle crash.

no such light at the beginning of every real dream either 

Lol, I suppose that's true but you hardly need a hint to realise they're a dream

This is why I think we should have invested in Dreadnoughts and Mechs instead of the Crucible.

My stomach churns in disgust whenever I see Elijah Wood on screen because I usually find his roles revolting, but none the less that's pretty awesome. I'll have to check it out again.

People, I was wondering...
During Thane death scene the prayer he wrote for Shep goes like:
"Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and contention.
Guide this one to where the traveler never tires, the lover never leaves, the hungry never starve.
Guide this one, Kalahira, and she will be a companion to you as she was to me."

Could this be foreshadowing about the inner struggle of Shepard against the subltle Indoctrination he/she is being fighting? I don't think that Thane might have been completely aware of the Indoc, but rather that was just another small innuendo thrown by the writers...

What do you think?

I will just answer 4) very quickly, I'll do otherS a bit later. At the start of ME3, TIM is confident, he has Kai Leng on his side, one of the best assasins in the world, has a massive army, lots of time; at the end, it is just him and you. His fortunes have changed now, it has become more personal.

But in this scene he's about to WIN. He's standing at the control panel of the device he insists will allow him to control the Reapers (his stated goal throughout the game). And yet he never activates it, even though you're paralysed and can't stop him. 

Exactly. He's much more interested in a mental battle with Shep than actually activating the device. Compare it to Saren, another indoctrinated being.

Saren wastes no time trying to stop shepard with tons of geth on Ilos, and leaving behind all sorts of army as he goes to operate the citadel arms. Saren's priority is to complete his goal, not try and convince Shepard that he's right. Although he does plenty of that as well, in an attempt to justify what he's doing.

It seems to me that if it was actually TIM on the citadel he would prefer to control the reapers and then gloat about it to Shep. He views Shepard as some in this topic might view SubAstris: too far gone in another line of thinking to be swayed to his side. Him needing Shep's approval so badly doesn't seem in character.

You'd think Bioware would have disabled that mission after a certain point.

Does Adams expect me to pick up a thermal pipe before or after I chat with TIM and Anderson?

Maybe godchild will give me a good deal on one.

This is pretty good evidence that shows that BioWare is not infallable, and their game contains a host of things that could be considered bugs or defects rather than evidence of IT.

You can pick one up from the Req terminal on deck 5 . Along with everything from the Citadel which is kinda wierd but heyy guess it would suck not being able to buy anything else Spectre weapons included.

There is another scene besides ME3 ending in the series where TIM appears without his theme music playing in the background. When he tries to convince Shepard to spare the Collector base.

Is anyone else getting an impression that I'm ignored in this thread?

But we get the same kind of end speech from Saren in ME1 - he tries to tell you he's right and his way is the only way, the ultimate evolution with all of the benefits and none of the weakness of either synthetic or organic.  Shepard convinces him he's wrong and he blows his brains out.
