Im still on the fence about it....
he (she?) is asking for clarification. The link to this post could be a brush off. "I cant give you any clarification. Here is an 880+ topic for you to get lost in till we can give you an answer".
What better way to buy time than to link to a topic that will take days to get your barring on instead of linking to a youtube video that does the same thing in minuets.
If it is a hint, then the game is over, there is nothing left to discuss. She flat out told us that the work done in this post is true....
she (Jessica) is doing that though she is saying 'look guys the ending's aren't what they seem'
the hint that indoctrination was true (a sequence is dismissed based on a gameplay mechanic not the idea itself, why would a story angle be dismissed because the actual physical movement of the player affects it?)
I.T./hallucination (or have you ignored countless posts telling you such by me especially) in this particular thread can be interpreted based on the idea it's the battle of the mind, a hallucination (hence the specific reference) and that Shepard is knocked out on Earth and yet to wake up thus the game is far from over (and we never say that, or at least haven't for a long time hence constant references to DLC and what will happen as a result of your three choices)
You may say the I.T. is based on the fact it all happened and are indoctrinated and I'd say yes to begin with (even in this thread perhaps) but since then it has steadily become 'not it happened' but 'it only happens in your mind'
Anderson = unindoctrinated self you need to resist Harbinger, TIM = indoctrinated side wanting to give in, Shepard himself =you, your decision is his willpower either giving in or resisting, Control, Synthesis = indoctrinated either like TIM or Saren (in terms of ideology) - destroy = resist. (I even say maybe they want you to choose Synthesis as the 'less of evils way out' because they WANT you to be indoctrinated to be like Saren thus that's the twist, you end up being like Saren)
Let me put it this way it's an elaborate (based on ME universe) he woke up and it was all a dream (pretty awful plot device in most writing admittedly) but in the context of indoctrination it becomes so much more than that and makes sense and explains a lot of stuff without just saying the ending is 'bad writing, plot holes that they forgot about and space magic' and having nothing else to say other than just CHANGE THE ENDING'
If the endings are as they are at least we've made an attempt to give Bioware the biggest get out of jail free card there is - rewrite ending because the last 10 mins happened nowhere but your mind so you can do what you like when Shepard wakes up thus people who don't like the ending get to be happy they can still influence the endings, those who like the endings might go great lets see what else happens post-script.
If you say 'where is all this stuff' I'd say it's scattered all over the 870 pages but this is the general point and to all of us it is now head canon intented or not and is the only way to make ME3 replayable (or any of them) at all is the belief that he wakes up on Earth having been knocked out (indoctrinated or not) and the war continues.
Long story short if you don't like the endings GET ON BOARD WE WANT REAL ENDINGS AND THIS MAKES IT HAPPEN WITH DLC BASED ON THIS IDEA, we want endings that matter, we want ones that actually are impacted by your decisions (like the fact you've reconciled the geth-quarian war) we want ones that at the end you go 'so what Shepard is dead, so what my crew are dead' I got the closure I needed to be happy with my decisions.
