1st Is it ever explained why the Reapers like building up organic life forms only to come back and kill them all? Do we find out why this is a good use of their time?
2nd if the Reapers had been successful would they have also wiped out the Geth? Seeing as they are not organic life yet still not uber awesome like themselves (according to them of course)?
Two plot line questions.

We don't know the whole story yet, but it is easier for the reapers to gather resouces when other civilizations take stuff out of the planets.
I think so, as we know more about the geath and there relationship with in their own culture. It seems the geath or more and more human like. Reapers don't like that. They were not made by organic life as they put it.

I think the reapers and collectors are tied together some how, based on infomation from interviews across the web.JasonPogo wrote...

This depends on if the reapers see the geth as a some thing they need to survive or a threat to them.JasonPogo wrote...

1st: From what I could gleen from the game, the Reapers hold resentment toward organics, and prefer to use them to gather stuff, then wipe the system clean (ala the Necrons from Warhammer 40k from the sound of it, but more insidious) and await the "infection" of organic life to reach a certain state whereby the cycle repeats.
2nd: The game seemed to conflict a bit with itself (or at least it seemed to). According to Saren, the geth are considered "lesser" and are regarded with disdain. According the the VI on Ilos, the Reapers seem to be considering replaicing the keepers with geth (which they see as easier to control). So to answer your question, either the geth will be wiped out or they will be incorporated into the Citadel.

the reapers are eternity. the cannot evolve. there is no more to achieve, yet death is too much of a price. So, they'll feed as needed, but gathering simple sustenance is too meager a job for such remarkable beings. So they let the races of the universe grow, doing the legwork for them in a masterful conspiracy spreading across many generations until they become a potential threat. Then, the masters harvest the galaxy.

As to the 1st question: I'm pretty sure we don't even know for sure why the reapers even come and wipe out developing civilizations periodically. A lot of people are convinced that they come and wipe everything out to "gather resources", yet this is only Shepard's conjecture. When he "figure's out" what his visions mean, he does so only to the extent that he can only say for sure that its a warning. He does say during a cut scene "like using us as resources" or something to that effect. But, I distinctly remember him using the word "like". Clearly speculation. In any case, there's no concrete proof layed out during ME so far that distinctly informs us of the reaper's reasoning behind thier intentions...
