Meh....to me it felt patronizing...much like most of the ending. How did they get on the Normandy!? Oh...well here's the Normandy in the middle of the beam run to pick it up (why wasn't that there in the original ending?) Not to mention all the other patronizing **** they put in.
What? The relays destroyed? Galactic civilization is screwed!
-Nope...we can rebuild EVERYTHING.
But why was Joker fleeing?
-Uhhh...OH! Hacket told him to run to the rendezvous point that we didn't hear about until just now.
But my crewmates are stranded on that stupid gilligan's planet!
-Oh don't worry about that, they'll lift off again like 5 minutes later (pointless freaking scene)
I can go on.
It's not patronizing. These are all things that indeed needed clarification.

And they were all things that should have been in the original ending. I agree they needed clarification...but to me it felt like the minimum effort was put in to do so. What's the point of the Normandy crashing...for instance...if it takes off again like 5 minutes later?

Liara's "...I am yours" line holds a lot of meaning, coming from someone with 900~ years left to live.

The Normandy was not. Why not have something more sensible like...a shuttle pick them up? Hey that would be a great idea, make Steve Cortez useful for once instead of "STTTTEEEEVVVVEEE! you sure?" Instead we get 'Joker, please abandon fighting in space to rescue my two squadmates and two squadmates alone! also don't fire on Harbinger even though he is decimating us and you have superior firepower like Javelin Missles and the Thanix Cannon, you gotta get out of here!"

While some people don't like that the Normandy is evacuating wounded in the middle of the beam rush, I don't have any major issues with it. Even during the amphibious assaults on Normandy, Tarawa or Iwo Jima during WW2, there were landing craft and amtracs making multiple trips through heavy fire both deploying troops and evacuating the more seriously wounded while the beachhead was still very much contested. So the evac itself isn't really unrealistic.
Of course what made those evacs possible was the 'safety in numbers' aspect, where the enemy could destroy some landing craft and amtracs but certainly not all of them. With that in mind the Normandy evac scene would probably have worked better if there were fighters and other frigates making a run against Harbinger in that scene, to provide a distraction for the ground force.
As it is, I think the scene still works somewhat though. Harbinger may have been ignoring the Normandy as it was just evacuating wounded at the time, and he had more pressing issues with tanks, troops, and gunships being close to the beam. The Normandy not being fired at by Harbinger can be chalked up to Harbinger giving it a low priority and focusing entirely on the ground force.

Javik was with me. When he started pleading to be allowed to fight on with Shepard, I found it genuinely moving. I can't speak for the other companion characters, but Javik's voice acting was brilliant, and that little scene added a real layer of depth to his personality. You could see in that moment that beating the Reapers was his whole life, and he passed the torch, the responsibility, to Shepard with great reluctance. Brilliant.
After all the stick BioWare has been getting, they deserve credit for the things they do right. I hope someone on the staff reads this and all the other nice comments.

having shepard calling for evac and then having 2 injured squadmates walking back away from harbinger, or having one of them say even a single line to ashley or joker when they boarded about why everyone had run away from the most important fight

Hale's VA was spotless, haven't heard Meer yet but I know that'll be great too!
The way Shep's voice just cracks... and their LI is so.....gaaaaaaaah! desperate?

Even Harbinger loved it, since he didn't dare to cut the Normandy in half.
oh, well done!

Overall, I loved the EC; the different narratives of each ending was also touching.

It seemed out of place at first but to be honest I can forgive them for that as it gave me a proper chance to say at least a small goodbye to my LI.

However it would have been much more believable if STEEEVE had shown up in a hastily repaired shuttle to do the pickup, while Joker harassed Harbinger; then have Shepard order Joker to cover the shuttle until they can rendezvous for pickup.
