Come on, man. you could have just list the answers numerically. Now I have to go in and edit it so everthing isn't a clusterf*ck.

1. Harbinger intended to daze him. Shepard now more suscpetable to influence as he is physically weaker and groggy (i.e. less concentration). Harbinger intended for TIM to hold him in place with Dominate while the REapers put the whammy on Shepard. Their overconfidence bit them in the ass again.
2. If he wants Shepard alive he'd have to kill Shepard to blow up the Normandy. It would possibly be harder for them to indoctrinate him if his will is fueled by anger. Or it's stealth drive allowed it to go undetected and Harbinger doesn't see with eyes. The Normandy was capable of atmosphere stealth on Ilos as the geth fleet should have shot it down otherwise when the mako as dropped. Really: Bioware wanted to put in a rescue scene and they had 2gb to do the DLC. They didn't bother to add a distraction for Harbinger. I find it odd you'd even press this issue considering you have no solid explaination either. It takes place before the beam so it isn't even relevent to your argument.
3. Let me repeat. Coates is never shown to the player in the Citadel. Fact.
Reapers forces and/or Reapers killed that people making up the generic body pile textures seen around the conduit, in the Citadel and on the Collector base. It means nothing just like that 1m1 texture that also appears in ME1. This type of weak evidence is why noboy takes you seriously. Those bodies could have been there from 3 hours earlier. You act as if the Reapers hadn't been sending bodies to be processed and the Conduit was just a red carpet laid out just for Hammer.
4 & 5. First, I never said Anderson and TIM are hallucinations. I said it's plausible that they are. It could be either or.
The keepers handle the bodies. Maruader Sheilds and those 3 husks could have been the last ones in that area before heading down to engage Hammer. A battle seems to have carried on after Shepard lost consciousnes as there are additional turned makos and other bodies (human and husks) laying about that weren't there when Shepard was knocked out.
6. There was Reaper forces there. You fought them on the way there. They came to engage you. There was a destroyer parked in front of it. Even after the beam hit more presumably came down from the Citadel while Shepard as unconscious. Did you forget the entire last hours of the game?
7. It isn't weak. You're just angry that I have answers. Stop getting pouty when the conversation doesn't go the way you'd hoped. You heard Hackett. Therefore a working radio must have been there. If you here a voice and you don't see the source do you immediately assume you're losing your mind? You look for where it's coming from first. You don't jump to conclusions that you're going crazy. So why the leap to it has to be all a dream? Since when were did you get your Phd in hardsuit communications? As you aren't a certified expert in ME hardsuits you're evidence is circumstantial.
8. Because if Shepard runs out he would be boned. That's Biowares choice of a game mechanic. If you don't like that answer then I'm sorry. Deal with it. It switches from the normal conditions and becomes more of an interactive cutscene. Hell, one could even say it's modified to incorporate pre and post thermal clip capability if it makes you happy.
When firing the thanix missiles at the Destroyer Garrus used an assault rifle in the cutscene to shoot the cannibals. Then Shepards says, "Firing!" he has a sniper rifle. Gasp! it was ALL a dream. On Therum when heading for the prothean ruins right before the Geth ambush my pistol was suddenly an assault rifle, then it magically changed back. Gasp! It really was all just a dream
.
9. Given the blood spread I'd say he was injured in his arm somewhere as the blood seems to be runing down his arm. Both arms actually as it's not just the left arm that's bleeding. So the blood doesn't necessarily come from any wound on his lower left torso. Shepard had been favoring that side beforehand and it may just be coincidence that anderson was shot in that area. The point of that moment may simply be to convey that blood is being lost and provoke a certain psychological reaction. It could even be hallucination even if Anderson and TIM are there.
10. Maybe his signal couldn't get through the Citadel with the arms closed. Or it's a close range receiver. Contemplating the reasons why a video character didn;t do something at this or that time is going to be an exercise in speculation.
11. How should I know? Why didn't he, even in a lucid dream? That argument goes both ways.
The first thing he does upon opening the wards arms is lie back and relax. Presumably expecting the Crucible to fire once it docked. When that did not occur Hackett immediately contacted him. The final chat with anderson takes place while it is docking. Shepard is weak, dazed, psychologically convinced he's losing blood and his body is reacting accordingly. I'm not sure if he's thinking straight enough to even consider calling in the space marines.
12. The Crucible is escorted by dreadnaught and cruiser who are currently pitched in battle holding off the Reapers. There are also tons of oculus zipping around to pick off shuttles as well. Maybe the shuttles where all exhausted getting Hammer on the ground. When the Crucible docks it seems it was expected to fire automatically. So what were these marines supposed to do exactly when they got there? Oir were the scientist supposed to arm up and go in... to do what? Moral support? They have no idea why it isn't firing. For al we know marines were sent in and they went to the Council Chambers or C-sec Control, known places where someone might open the arms.
Who knows? Just because you want to nitpick plot irrelevencies, doesn't prove it's a dream. It only shows that the writters did not address every concievable possibility on-screen.
13. Nearly dead? How do you figure? I've seen more blood than that coming from my own body and it was a head injury (sure you'll have some snarky remark for that). I'm alive and kicking and was walking around the whole time. Now he regained consciousness and mobility. This happens in real life all the time. I've been sick enough where I could stand and after a brief rest period I could walk again. You don't know how long Shepard was out before he wakes up.
14. No he does not give any definitive indicator that he literally saw those images. That is your own interpretation of Shepard's pondering what he's been told. Nothing more. And you're welcome to believe it. Just as I am free to believe. Shepard does not see it.
15. So now the whole series is a dream because we don;t know how eezo work?
16. It isn't inconsistent. It's a person expressing their wishes. This type of narrative is not unique to ME3.
17. Prove it's the same guy. Prove he died. Otherwise, you have no case.

You're really grasping at straws, and force everything to fit your version. ))
You're clearly angry that I won't believe your shaky unproven theory. You might want to calm down and recognize what we're discussing: a video game.

Sorry.
Lets hope it stays this way and we can have many reasonable discussions/debates in the future!!!
