Samara doesn't have a reason to remember it, Jack on the other hand will bring up at Grissom Academy as a good example.

Grissom is a far better mission when Jack is dead.
but ME3's dark enough for me. At some point, I got sick of all the
death and destruction and took any opportunity to mitigate it, as long
as it didn't interfere with my roleplaying. The emotional
punch-in-the-gut of the original ending didn't help of course. Perhaps
how that's in the past (and it took me about ten months) I can explore
the other possibilities.
Also, may I ask why you think so?
I was gonna write a longer than usual post, but then I remember Dean's post that explains it rather nicely.Dean_the_Young wrote...
But Jack... I don't think I've done Grissom
Academy with Jack since the first two times. I'll even skip it and get
Phantom!Jack instead, the difference is so glaring. With Jack around the
entire mission becomes a love letter to how awesome and badass a
teacher she is, with her students being a fawning audience whose
adoration she eats up. The students are more like groupies than actual
people, and Jack's presentation is so different from where she leaves
off from ME2 if you didn't romance her that I'm hard pressed to take her
seriously. Finish that with how fighting Cerberus becomes more like
'hey, let's kick these weakling's ass!' and the entire mission loses
whatever drama it had.
Without her, though... I love Grissom
Academy. It goes from a ******-fest to a harrowing story of a group of
talented but inexperienced students being hounded by a well-organized,
well-prepared force that they are nowhere near ready to deal with. Out
of their depth by far, they have to organize, they have to stand up
regardless, and Shepard takes a mentor role of guiding these young
adults to being rise to the challenge of the war. Jason Prangley, a
non-entity cheerleader if Jack is alive, steps up and leads his group,
and with Shepard offering one of the least heard awesome lines of the
series: 'leaders don't guess,' a line in context that prods Prangley to
assume confidence and gives hope to the students. Here is a leader on
the rise, one recognized by Cerberus as a highest priority target among
the students, and someone who is clearly rising to a serious challenge.
Prangley
dies, unfortunately: shot after saving the last of the students, the
cost of not having Jack. It's sad, it disappointing, and it's such a
waste to see such potential simply lost in this war... and it has far,
far more effect on me than Jack ever did. And it's all lost, all the
development and individuality submerged into a fawning nobody, if Jack
lives.
So... no apologies. My story is better without Jack.
Plus I abseloutly hate Jack, so her absence is always good.
"EDIT"
Also,
without Jack we also get a conversation with the girl (forgot her name)
that ask how one should deal with taking another person's life. This
dialog is rather well made, although it is sadly undermined by the fact
that Cerberus has been established as nothing more than dumb mindless
badguys to shoot, so in the end it falls flat. Still, better than what
one gets with Jack.

This was probably intentionally funny, but I think I laughed harder at the joke than it warranted...

I guffawed. Delivery was just priceless.

Jack being gone from Grissom is a good thing, because at least then the mission actually gets some decent storytelling attached to it instead of the bad joke it is with Jack's cameo.

Tali's swan dive itself is hilarious though. Its just not about the character dying, as I don't hate any of the squadmates. Its just the overly dramatic way in which she does the whole Titanic pose while falling backwards, with Shepard's slow-mo running and 'Meh' reaction. It was hilariously corny.

I don't get how a swan dive is funny at all... let alone Tali's.
Cool explanation. See, it's the same with Liara. Letting any squadmate get fried by Harby is sad. Letting Harby turn her into calamari fritti however is hilarious:lol:
Or shooting phantom Jack on Chronos;)
