Everything from the transport crash/Harby laser (take your pick) until the breath scene happens inside Shepard's head, where Harbinger attempts to convince him the Reapers' goals are good and should be his. Shepard decides what his goals are, and then wakes up.

I've just explaned the entire otherwise nonsensical ending pefectly; there is nothing even close to a mess here.

Probably just reused textures. Shepard couldn't have still been on the Citadel after that explosion with no spacesuit. He would have died and gotten "spaced", just like in Mass Effect 2's prologue.

Why does the beam lead to the control panel?
Dozens of kilometers long and it goes to the only few hundred yards they are vulnerable. How convenient

Shep surviving it all just so she can be indoctrinated at the right time. How convenient


Way to dodge the question.

From now on I'm not discussing Shepard's location in the breath scene unless something new is brought to the table. He is not on the Citadel. Period.

Maybe Shepard had to prove his worth?

You are assuming the Reapers absolutely need Shepard Indoctrinated to win and that it is not a matter of convenience, a back up plan of sorts.

They know Shepard's capabilities, he has foiled them time after time even in situations which would seem impossible. This has also made him interesting in their eyes, but also a threat.

So they continue to try and stop him in the normal ways, but are always aware, always working towards Indoctrinating him as a way to take him down should he continue to foil their plans. Him becoming a useful pawn to them is just a bonus of that plan.

It is no longer a matter of convenience, but simply a matter of the Reapers taking every precaution against Shepard.

Shep wakes up only in high EMS destroy and doesn't look like she could do anything but hope for rescue.
If that is the case the game does not have an end.

It's just as improbable, neither is impossible.

They have a different texture and model for rebar. There is no need to reuse the cables.

Harbinger wants an indoctrinated Shepard to make their victory easier. Quite possible Shepard's will made that impossible until he was weakened significantly by a near blast or shuttle crash. The beam could easily be a trap so letting Shepard live is not an actual immediate threat

Let's do a physics lesson. Let's pretend Earth doesn't have an atmosphere and there is gravity in space. So Shepard falls 100 kilometers and wakes up.

Force= Mass x Acceleration.

If that was real, the fall would have killed him.

No, it's straight ****ing retarded. The Reapers literally put in a back door to an impenetrable station, and have it drop you off in an unknown hidden room that just so happens to be the only way to defeat them

You assume she is falling like in ME2.

It's no more retarded than to assume everything is still going according to plan.

Assuming the run is actually legit.

Considering the Normandy pick up scene has just about every single person in your squad, including Shepard, acting out of character I lean more to believe that the halucination started at the completely unexplained, out of nowhere, cut to black Mako (or whatever those vehicles are called) crash.

That scene which is so obviously tacked on? You can even hear Harby shooting a few times, bug? Hell yes.
