 I've beat the game twice too... and i have NO IDEA where you are getting these points from?  there is no hint what so ever that joker wasn't in FTL, there was no hints what so ever that Joker landed in the Sol System or even doubled back to earth, or even Made a Pick up on earth for your team!  Theres no information on the Total Loses of the Allied fleets, let alone that 1 quarian live ship was lost, and several Krogan/Turian transports were destroyed!  And on top of that you've managed to calculate the Normandy's Exact landing coordinates on earth to with in a Kilometer with no Information what so ever?!

Where are you getting this information from anyways?

Note: that i was one of the many people "Hurt" by this ending and after playing ME1,2 for hundreds of hours each i find this thread quite insulting... i do however applaud you creativity

This sounds more like a Troll trying to play those clinging to hope....

But I think I remember seeing two moons where the Normandy landed, so I think the Earth is out.

That's no moon it's a space station!

So, Palpatine's behind it all ?

So basically the Starchild is the Collector General in super uber hivemind form?

Exactly. How else do you think the protheans got manipulated into a position where they could be made collectors? It's pretty obvious in hindsight.

How did that person not get the blatant star wars reference, Allen only posts in ME forums as a fan of the series. It would mean the same thing if any nonbioware employee had written it

Finally someone understands the ending. I really don't see the need for "clarification" DLC, it's all right there! You think people would be able to tell the difference between a "jungle planet" and Halong Bay on Future Earth with a new moon. People who reject this analysis are just looking for reasons to complain, geeze!

Now, Joker, he actually isn't in hyperspace.  If you look carefully, the Normandy is accelerating, not cruising, and there are various relativistic artifacts still around.

Indeed. ME doesn't have hyperspace. As for FTL travel ... the Normandy was doing that, evidenced by the light trail it leaves, it doesn't do that at sublight velocities. Also, ships are *always* accelerating on a journey, up to the middle point when they start decelerating, there typically is no "cruising":

Codex/Ships and Vehicles: Starships: Thrusters

Starships accelerate to the half-way point of their journey, then flip 180 degrees and apply thrust on the opposite vector, decelerating as they finish the trip. The engines are always operating, and peak speed is attained at the middle of the flight.

Just saying.

So anyway, the shockwave reaches them when they're almost at Earth: it'sstill powerful enough to rip them out of the FTL acceleration

Since they evidently travel at FTL speed.... they all die by Cherenkov radiation.

Codex/Ships and Vehicles: FTL Drive

If the field collapses while the ship is moving at faster-than-light speeds, the effects are catastrophic. The ship is snapped back to sublight velocity, the enormous excess energy shed in the form of lethalCherenkov radiation.

Unless maybe you apply some space magic.

Yes, we who get it are far too few. Hopefully my explanation allows them to, if not understand, at least accept that some of us do.

I don't know, that concpet seems overdone in sci fi.

Nueromancer kind of was the end point to that plot concept.

You know what's really sad?

I wrote this as complete satire.

Then, seeing as we probably weren't going to get a really fixed ending, I went on to write my clarification suggestions thread (see signature) that tries to make the ending work.

Now I started writing out a story based on my clarification ending…and it's not that far off from what I wrote down here. OK, no Halong bay and it makes much better sense overall, but still…

[Bigdoser]

If you need to do this much just to make sense of an ending that shows the ending is not good.

What did I just read?

[recentio]

Lost me at BGR --> RGB. No general audience should have to jump to such conclusions as that much less your comments to follow. If all of the OP is true, ME3 belongs in on the arthouse/indie circuit, not in mainstream entertainment. It doesn't matter if a handful of folks can tap into 1000 outside sources and concepts to wrench some kind of half-reasoning out of the Starchild. ME3 was made for a general audience and must work for a general audience, not 15 ppl worldwide. Your personal, heavily self-constructed understanding is irrelevant.

I ... I get it now ... it all makes sense .

They were all on earth all along !!

That wasn't a second moon .. that was the Catalyst .... yes

The Catalyst's Egg

*snip*

Nonono! It is Shepard reborn ... in an egg ... in space.


Here is a preview image of the clarifying DLC:

Satire! I wrote it just above you guys

[kegNeggs]

Nice read. I'd be willing to go with that and praise it as something spectacular. now for the reason why the producers didn't think of something like that

[Reign Tsumiraki]

Speculations and space magic for everyone.

[lillitheris]

I'm a little scared that about half of the comments take the OP at face value.

WHAT?

You guys realize that 'extended cut' is just going to be the ewok party after the reapers are defeated, right?  That's exactly what the writers are thinking, "Nothing says closure like an ewok party.  We told Casey to leave that in on release, but noooo...and look what happened."
