Okay here's one that always bothered me,
In the very first cinematic we hear, when using a Relay that "1500 (I assume kilometres) drift is good". (And in ME2 "several thousand is common"). But the Mako, using a prototype Prothean Relay (the Conduit), lands smack bang right next to the one 'inside' the Presidium Ring.
I suppose you could say/argue the Protheans perfected theirs and that the Conduit was designed to be a "One to One" system.
But that's some pretty awesome space magic.
ME2 also suggests that the reason you have most of the drift is because for regular non-reaper vessels the relays use rougher transit protocols. Perhaps the Conduit is not limited in this manner.
Yes Nihlus passed files on to him prior to the mission, and he read a report on the incident from either Shepherd or Anderson after the incident. I don't think what he's saying necessarily implies that the mission report came from Nihlus as well, though I think it is very easy to interpret it that way.
I just chalked it up to Saren having access to everything Nihlus had access to such as the reports made in the Normandy.
Garrus suffers from a similar timeline problem to Tali. When we first arrive at the Citadel the Councillors mention to Udina (via those hologram projections) that C-Sec is investigating Udina's accusations against Saren. And by the hearing, they find that the investigation has turned up no evidence. Are C-Sec supposed to have gone to Eden Prime, done an investigation and returned, all in the time it took the Normandy to do the journey one-way? Or have C-Sec done the investigation without even going to Eden Prime?
To make matters worse, Garrus (the head of the investigation) mentions that many reports on Saren are classified, as he is a spectre. So the Council launch an investigation, yet withhold lots of reports from their own investigating officer, expect him to find evidence without even going to Eden Prime, and declare Garrus has run out of time after only 15 hours?
On top of which, C-Sec is... Security for the Citadel, surely? What do they have to do with crimes committed on other planets halfway across the galaxy? What jurisdiction would they have there? Are C-Sec actually a badly-named police force for the entire galaxy?
Yeah Garrus 'Investigation' was likely just started (and immediately stopped), so that the councillors could tell Udina they did something.
As for C-sec: The way I understood it, they are responsible only for/at the Citadel itself, but because they are the Councils law enforcement, they may also investigate in all of the citadel-space.
Furthermore, investigations against council-organs (such as the Spectres) seem to be always carried out by (other?) council organs.

There was that conversation with Dr. Chakwas and Jenkins in the beggining, which I think they are both right... C-sec can't solve the problem? Send a Spectre...
When shep first wakes up on the Normandy, after the beacon explodes on Eden Prime, she talks with Anderson about the prothean vision. She says, "I saw synthetics, geth maybe, killing people. Obliterating them."
Why would she think the geth could even possibly be part of a vision from the protheans?
Why would she think the geth could even possibly be part of a vision from the protheans?
Because at the time she has no idea what the vision is. There's no way for her to know that it was a recorded message from the Protheans to some future (now present) person(s). For all she knows she could be seeing events that are happening now but someplace else.
Real inconsistencies start happening when you move from one game to the next. Like if you hypothetically blow something to hell in one title, but someone salvages large and useful stuff from it in the next.
This is a good point. I actually hadn't considered that. But it's still highly improbable that it's a 'modern' message, to my mind.Because at the time she has no idea what the vision is.
