Hai Guyz,
I played through the entire trilogy, made it onto the Citadel, talked to TIM, Selected the first two blue options, but the third was greyed out. What did I do wrong?

To get the final paragon and renegade options for TIM, you have to have used all the paragon options or all the renegade options (not a mix of the two) every time you speak to him in ME3.
When talking with TIM throughout the game, the player has to choose the paragon dialogue each and every time otherwise the dialogue will be grayed out on the Citadel. To get the paragon dialogue to show up, choose the investigate option on the left. It gives more dialogue options. If you do this, TIM will kill himself
So on Mars, Thessia, Chronos and Citadel, choose the investigate option on the left and then choose the upper left dialogue for the paragon dialogue.
Wow, I've always skipped investigate. Does making TIM suicide have any impact on anything? I got Saren to shoot himself in the first game.

Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure you can mix it up.

I am pretty sure you can mix it up as well. The wiki indicates that it merely requires that every time you have a persuade check available that you use one. It does not say anything about always being paragon.
I mixed it up my last playthrough and I had both paragon and renegade options fully available, so that shoudn't be a problem. My paragade Shep went full intimidate on him at the end. Well, until the point I shot him. I always shoot TIM. He talks so freaking much. Not sure if the options are available after you don't, though. Doesn't it also somewhat rely on reputation or something?

You still got the options by mixing paragon and renegade? I must have been thinking of the bit in bold then, or they changed it as part of the Extended Cut.
Mixing up Paragon and Renegade options don't impact anything.
I mix up all the time. no problem
I just know that I played through 3 games, maxed out my bar in each one, and the last option was still greyed out. I am at like 90% paragon. I may have been able to do a few more quest to boost reputation, but I am super peeved. 120 hours of my life for nothing!!
Aw, come on, it wasn't for nothing. I mean, why do you think so? You can still progress in the game, right? If I remember right, during my first playthrough, the third option was also greyed out for me. So I took a normal dialogue option and then took the renegade interrupt, which allows you to normally progress in the game. (I don't know what happens if you don't take the interrupt, though.)

TIM kills Anderson and then another interrupt appears for Shepard to shoot TIM who will kill Shepard if the interrupt isn't used
@themikefest
Thanks! That makes sense.
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but during my short time here, I noticed you've managed to gather all kinds of impressive knowledge of Mass Effect.
Do you have any idea whether there's any difference in EMS when you shoot TIM vs when he shoots himself? I noticed you talked about getting/preserving some EMS for saving Anderson in another thread. So, I wondered whether that does anything in that regard. Though I assume that due to its being at the very end of the game, it may be hard to track.

If you "save" Anderson, meaning if TIM doesn't kill Anderson, the player receives 200 war assets. If the player lets TIM kill Anderson, the player will lose 100 war assets.
If you know that you want to save Anderson, you can head to Earth with 2900 ems since Anderson gives you 200 war assets if you want the breath scene.
If you let TIM kill Anderson and want the breath scene, head to Earth with at least 3200 ems
