And so the battle was won. Though nobody really won in the end. You die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain...

And so we return to topic.

Honestly, this could, possibly, maybe have been a good scene had it clearly been shown to be a Mass Relay test. But nothing points to that. I guess looking forward to Red Sand has got me in the mood for Mass Relay tests.

There was a topic?

Oh yeah.

It wasn't. It can't have been unless they actually decided to incorporate different coloured explosions for every jump. You know, for the lolz

They actually might have included an explosion that was the same color as the one that changed the galaxy as we know it.  I mean, I get red/white/blue fireworks on the 4th of July, it'd be kinda the same thing--but damn, can you imagine the size of the fireworks they use!?

Or the Jubilee?

You may be onto something, my friend.  Alert the OP, we have cracked it!

This is just like the IT. Over-analyzing small bits and thinking more critically about a story than even BioWare did.

The Mass Effect 3 ending was poor writing done without third-party approval or even the backing of some of the writing staff. It is that simple. The reason that this scene existed was just so that they could cram two or three Biblical references into the ending (Eden, "The Shepard", etc.)

The corresponding colors could imply that the crucible had some kind of permanent effect on eezo or something peculiar to mass relay technology.

The problem with chronology exists in the scene even when it is taken at face value. How did Joker bypass the reapers, pick up your squadmates in London, bypass the reapers again, enter into ftl and have enough time to either reach the Charon relay or crash land on a jungle planet outside the Sol system all in the time it takes Shepard to walk to the control room, have a 2 brief conversations, and walk less than 100 meters?
OP is assuming a longer time jump than most but a time jump is not illogical.

I have not gotten far enough in the game with Javik to comment specifically about why he can or can't be on this "test flight" without betraying his earlier intentions but I will speculate anyway.

Javik's sole goal was vengeance. In the past, Javik hoped to survive the previous invasion, awake with aprox. 1 million other protheans, defeat the reapers, and then, presumably, rebuild his civilization. Once Shepard defeated the reapers, vengeance was attained. Having spent time with primitives and having fought beside the primitives as they helped him achieve his ultimate goal, Javik may have felt indebted or developed a desire to help rebuild this society. It could have been one final insult to the reapers.

Not sure why, but I totally read that as "the Crayon relay" in SackofCat's post

*finished reading thread* Alright we have the Room, Monopoly, Venom's tongue, test flights, and a claim that bad writing is "not a good theory". What the f*ck did I just read?

Also please tell me "gentle cantaloupe" was a play on my name and not just a random phrase, if so I approve immensely

I was actually going to read this whole thread, even though after I read the first post of the thread and I was "WTF?" but then I skipped the the last page to test the waters and read this. AND then I was "Nope, not gonna read it." and I am still WTF.

Dude. Don't make speculations before you know the whole story.
I don't want to spoil anything, but if you've done something wrong in one of Javik's dialogues he'll tell you on Earth that he's very determined to kill himself. "There is no more left to say."

[SackofCat]

Fair enough. Though part of my point was that anything vague can be made to mean anything.

[dorktainian]

did someone say the crash made sense? Seriously?

[Jenonax]

Oh Lordy I thought this thread had died. The realms of mental it descended into yesterday was just beyond weird.

[Asharad Hett]

Test flight? Lol!

Can't go on faith alone this is the reaper creator he has been having the reapers destroy organic life for aeons he has been destroying earth and most of our forces with the reapers he still is using the reapers to kill your forces in the background while you talk to him other then him being the one that made the reapers just the fact that his reapers are still killing my forces while we talk alone makes decide not to pick any of its choices that it offers or even be willing to negotiate with him because to me it is like negoating with a terroist I would never do that besides the other reasons mentioned in my link

[LiarasShield]

I can't negotiate with terrorists or super powerful space children using giant robotic warmachines to kill my people and all the other races in the galaxy just can't do it I'm sorry
