Stand down? Eat me. My Shepard tolerates Hackett- barely. But when the smoke clears she has full intention of kicking Hackett in the nuts.

That's MY Shepard.

Have fun getting court martialed...again. 

Spectre status doesn't protect you when there's no Council anymore.

TheBlackBaron, you're lucky you're not Alliance High Command.

Surrender my weapon?

I'll surrender one bullet.

Where do you want it?

NO-ONE tells my Shepard what to do.

Not the Reapers.
Not Cerberus.
Not the Shadow Broker.
Not the Council.

And certainly not the Alliance that refused to even search for my body or devote even a credit towards finding the crash site of the SR1.

Really? Nobody tells you what do you? What have you been doing for the past three games...oh yeah, being somebody's errand boy. 

"Surrender one bullet" my ass. You probably wind up getting shot while resisting arrest.

False.

Shepard, go hunt down Saren. (ME1)

Shepard, go recruit people and stop the Collectors. (ME2)

Shepard, go build an alliance to stop the Reapers. (ME3)

He is in command of alliance fleets and the normandy is an alliance ship so he has every right to do so.Shepard is just a junior to Hackett so he has to respect that.Shepard doesn't OWN the ship

I love Admiral Hackett, and my Shepard does respect him, and the work he is doing. He is the defacto leader of the Alliance and the human war effort.

Spectre status doesn't matter. If you don't want to deal with him, or the chain of command, then leave the Alliance military. Wait.... you can't do that. You can hate your CO, but you still have to show him proper respect, and you still have to salute him, and follow his orders. That is the way the military works.

If your Shepard were to attack Hackett, then they would be a criminal, and cause a political **** storm. Your dislike for the man is not a good enough reason to harm him, and clearly isn't about protecting Council space, which means that the Council would reprimand you.
You would probably lose some respect from Garrus, a lot from the VS, Joker, most of your alliance crew and probably the entire Alliance military, and Anderson would be spinning in his grave.

I loved the Hackett speech! It was fine...unlikely the color-coded endings.

[Icinix]

I actually felt like almost all of the dialogue after launching the cerberus base attack was a bit of a let down, most of it was hammy and auto dialogued beyond making sense for my Shepard - but it was reasonably tight. After that though, the whole cerberus base and earth just felt like the dialogue was really missing any kick. I started to lose interest and was rather bummed by Hacketts speech. His two bodyguards waving their pistols around and one of them holding it like an assault rifle with gimped hands threw me too.

[Lincoln MuaDib]

I don't understand, do some of you have Varren up your ass?

The whole point of Mass Effect is that you play Shepard your own way.

Am I going online saying "You're wrong to play Shepard as an Engineer, he's a Soldier," am I saying, "Shepard clearly is a Colonist, she's in no way an Earthborn", or even "Shepard is a War Hero, you may think he's a Ruthless, but he's really not"?

No, I'm not.

So when I say that MY Shepard (not yours, I never speak for yours) has zero respect for Hackett, that she is nobody's puppet and has no respect for Alliance- just where do you come off suggesting that she's going to get shot?

Just what the FRACK is wrong with some of you?

Oh, right... Trolls.

[Biff the Understudy]

Of course Hackett makes the speech. Hackett is the officer in command and almost certainly the one responsible for drawing up the battleplan with the alien admirals.

Shepard has zero fleet command experience. Hell, as a jarhead in space shep probably doesn't even have much in the way of fleet training. He/She has never commanded more than a single frigate, and even then Joker pretty much takes over in battle, because Shep is an infantry commander.

Hackett's in overall command, and in just about every battle ever it's the field commander's job to address the men beforehand. It's not the responsibility of his free-roaming ambassadorial lackey.

[Spitfire_mcguire]

@OP: I understand what you are saying, and it is one of the cornerstones of the ME series.

But, there are certain things we don't have control over. Commander Shepard is an Alliance soldier in ME1, and is one in ME3. If your Shepard has no respect for the Alliance, why did she join up in the first place? Why didn't she throw her dog tags back at Anderson and say "sorry, I hate the Alliance. I'll get by on my Spectre status alone." Why didn't she tell Hackett to "go **** yourself?" Despite anyone's head canon, Shepard's being a soldier is central to the series. Therefore, she would have to play by the military rules...if they say jump, Shepard says "how high?"

[BatmanPWNS]

Tough luck.

Probably the fact that there are things you can't get around, such as that Shepard is an Alliance soldier, is no longer under Council protection at the end of ME3 due to their critical existence failure, and that attacking a superior officer -is- going to get you shot. 

You can rant about how you're your own person and call the Alliance ass monkeys all you want. You've got no choice but to respect their authoritah unless you want to spend the Reaper invasion in a brig somewhere.

So who the living FRACK does this Admiral Hackett thinks he is to give the "Rallying Speech" to the troops before the big push?

Wouldn't the other races be like, "Who the heck is that? I'm here for Shepard!"

Admiral Hackett- the Kanye West of Mass Effect.

The leader of the entire Alliance ****ing military, that's who.

Hackett's like Liara; you're not allowed to dislike him. He uses mind control to force you to become best friends.

But Hackett isn't shoved down our face and only their to give us advice. I don't see a valid reason to hate him, really. Plus; DAT VOICE!

[FlashedMyDrive]

Hackett is voiced Lance Henriksen.
Hackett has always agreed with your decisions.
Hackett has always had your back.
Hackett believed in the reapers.
Hackett is Hackett.
Hackett didn't attack your decision in Arrival despite killing 100,000 Batarians and destroying a Mass Relay.

What's not to like about Hackett? Hackett is a bro just like Anderson, Garrus, and Wrex.

ImperatorMortis, Hackett used me to do his dirty work then abandoned me to a kangaroo court when it was all done.

You screw me over, you best sleep with one eye open, Hackett.

Without me, Hackett would be nothing. A commander with no fleet.

I'm supposed to respect him?

He's lucky I don't shoot him.

 

Yeah shoot him. You'd totally gain everyones trust then. I'm sure the Alliance would be glad to work for you. Also you'd just be arrested/killed if you pulled something like that.

It doesn't matter what your feelings are about Hackett, OP. He doesn't have to earn your respect. Sheperd is a soldier, you respect Hackett's rank if not the man. If Sheperd wasn't an Alliance soldier in any of the games you would have a leg to stand on, as it stands though you're just being irrational.

In my opnion, Hackett is as awesome as Anderson.

Actually, he's not.

Anderson reinstated me. Anderson's my boss.

Hackett can eat me.

I told you, MY Shepard has no respect for Hackett.

Yours can, if you want to.

...
And Hacket is Anderson's boss... which makes him Shepard's boss. Since, you know, they reinstated him/her. And if you check your mail at the begining of the game, Hackett aproved Anderson's reinstatement --- meaning even if Anderson says "welcome back bro!" it meant didly squat till Hackett aproved of it. Yanno. Being the boss and all.
