Well, I saw those endings and... I felt that it destroyed so much of what the game stood for, I just could'nt believe it.
I just made my own theory, to be sure to have closure for everything: Everyone dies.
That shot from harbinger vaporized you and Anderson. Harby then went for the crew of the Normandy (see how determined and focused he looks like when you "regain consciousness"). Remember, moments before they show a long cinematic where Turians, Krogans and Asaris just get annihilated by the beam. That also explains why you suddenly see your friends hanging on a beautiful planet : got vaporized too. Just like TIM sees a beautiful earth just before dying, everyone sees something beautiful in their death. Also, TIM was actually transformed into a husk during his attempt. What you see in the Citadel is just his remaining consciousness which was already indoctrinated, hence his darker, blight-like appearance.
The conduct, and all the way to the Catalyst, it's just getting from Hell to Heaven. Start out in the red, have a tenous walk to the yellow, then you get lifted to the blue/white light.
Also, there are many paths that lead to the central chamber, but only Shepard's path is the right one. What you see in the end is just basically your consciousness being absorbed by the Catalyst. That's why it's so odd that Anderson, getting "in the beam after you" is in fact on the same path as you, just farther up front. I guess he had less deaths on his hands, or something like that, so he didn't have to take such a long walk. I had more ideas but they kinda got lost while i slept.
But, all in all, the Reaper's won, everyone's dead.
Beside, i think the little boy AI is added by Grandpa to get his grandson's interest... That's why it feels so Space Magic: it is. It's a fairy tale of a long lost human tale. In the end, the Stargazer's we see aren't even humans, they're some other specie. The humans got reaped.
The endings where so bad, that i prefer having my LI and all my friends dead with me, then having them get out of the Normandy super-happy about Shep's death.
This all might seem convoluted, but it's a theory i rather have. At least it gives closure.
This could also be very true theory. Got me thinking of this:
"Did Donnie make the choice to go back into his room and die when the airplane engine hit?""Well, the film is about what happens when he decides to get out of bed. You saw what happened when he got out of bed. I think that’s part of the experience of the film. There’s an old “Twilight Zone” episode called “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” which I might be mistaken but I think it’s about a guy in the Civil War. He’s got a noose around his neck and all of a sudden the noose breaks. He escapes and he’s chased through the woods. He goes and meets a woman or something and then he realizes that that whole experience was like this instantaneous moment/memory that he has as he’s being hung. I think that this film is sort of, I guess, similar to that idea – or I’m just ripping that off (laughing)."

I don't like the theory, cause I want Shepard to live. But it could also fit in, that he just want to make up for his/hers failure. That if he/she choose to sacrifice himself his mind makes up a fake scenario that everyone he/she loves survives. So the whole last scene is just him/her about to die.
Hope not though
