I just wanted to share this.

It's because I don't care about synthetics vs. humans at all in any sci-fi setting.  As much I loved Blade Runner, as much as I loved The Terminator films, as much I loved the Matrix trilogy, I honestly couldn't care less for the whole humanity vs. the evolved machines angle.  And I know that sounds like a contradiction.

But the above films I loved more for the fact that they were just good movies.  Period.  classics, in fact. Regardless of the story being told, they were just good flicks on their own merits.  And I loved the characters and the setting and the directors' vision.  But I don't care at all for the whole synthetics battling humans.  It's played out and tired.

At its core, that's all the ME trilogy is about - synthetics reaching a point where they become self-aware and surpass their creators in intelligence, knowledge, resources and power.  As is the cycle of nature, they - the created - will then inevitably rise up against their creators.

How many times have we seen this in science fiction?  Like a billion times?  I just can never get into it because at the end of the day, it's hard for me to care about machines.  Plus, I personally don't ever see it happening.

So, that's why I wasn't so undone by the endings because even though I was emotionally invested in my Shepard, I don't think I was emotionally invested in the story.

In the end, my ambivalence may have saved me from disappointment.  Does that make sense?
