When I finished the game it was my interpretation at the time that the ending sequence was Harbinger's attempt to indoctrinate Shepard, and that unless you choose "destroy" you end up dead and/or indoctrinated.
It wasn't until I saw the outrage online that I realized most people did not interpret it this way.
It remains my opinion that the ending was a indoctrination-induced hallucination. Some people say it's grasping at straws but I think the evidence for it is actually there, and not after-the-fact wishful thinking by fans disappointed by the ending.
That being said, without an official word from Bioware, all interpretations of the ending will be speculation.
The only reason why I'm not fully satisfied with the "indoctrination theory" is that, if it's true, and the "good" ending is Shepard waking up in the rubble in London after resisting indoctrination, it's not really over, is it?
Which means that Bioware will inevitably release a paid DLC to tell the end of the story since they purposefully left the ending of ME3 off the actual disc. If this happens it will be an unprecedented middle finger from EA/Biowave to anyone who's invested hundreds of hours into the ME trilogy.
Edited to add: There is a debate as to why Harbinger would try to indoctrinate Shepard as opposed to outright killing her. I've seen a few possible explanations for this, but one I haven't seen is this: at one point in ME3 Liara says it will "take about 100 years" for the Reapers to end the current cycle.
Now, given the destruction they caused during the course of ME3, I have no idea how or why it would take them 100 years to finish the task---it made no sense to me at the time and makes no sense to me now---but that seems to be the writer's opinion given what Liara says in-game. If that is the case, wouldn't Shepard be more useful as a Reaper tool than a corpse?
I mean Shepard is a galactic hero. It would be demoralizing to the organics to know she died and failed to kill the Reapers, yes, but I think it would be more demoralizing to see Shepard as a Reaper tool.
The reason it would take 100 years is because the Reapers only really effected homeworlds that were massive population centers. They largely avoided outer colonies during the initial attack so that they could deal with them later since they likely wouldnt be able to prepare enough to become a threat. We dont really know how much of the galaxy is colonized and in order to rid the galaxy of advanced civilizations they would have to systematically hunt through all of the worlds colonized by advanced civilization until the races were extinct or removed of any chance of rebuilding for a long enough time. Searching through these worlds could take decades because the galaxy is so vast and if only 100 out of a trillion survived, they would be able to rebuild overtime which the Reapers had to ensure didnt happen.
lets not forget, the reapers do NOT want to just kill all high level organic life. They want to grind you up to make their bread!! The cycle of destruction is the reaper reproduction cycle, they use the harvested organics to build new reapers. That takes time. ME2 collectors had been taking colonists for 2 years and still only had a single halfbuilt reaper in their base. and collectors were full on reaper agents with total access to all reaper tech.
