Sure, but the first relay we see blow is the one on the Citadel, and it doesn't do anything like nova. But yeah, I guess one could assume that the Citadel relay itself didn't detonate because reasons, and the identical VFX was just Bio being cheap. Still not sure how the Normandy had a planet to crash on.
The collapse of galactic civilization is another matter. I was completely in favor of the relays never being repaired. I think the MEU would be more interesting that way, something along the lines of the Star Trek universe.
Note that Team Dextro in Sol system would be OK as long as any of the quarian liveships survived. (Assuming the quarians survived Rannoch, of course. If not.... oops.) Hell, Bio could just make up an uncolonized dextro world in the local group; humans wouldn't have been likely to turn over such a world to the turians in the pre-ME1 era.
I've had a good discussion about this very point. I confess to being on the everyone is dead side.
They made the good point that FTL is still pretty damn fast and that, especially with the Live Ships, the Turians and Quarians could very well survive.
Of course the big issue would be the time dilation of FTL. Those people could find themselves in a completely alien galaxy.
They have done it because people complained so much (just because they couldn't understand that ending)
Sometimes if people aren't understanding what's been written, the flaw lies with the author.
If there are so many interpretations on what should be a set idea, then just perhaps the idea wasn't clear enough.
Heck it could be that the endings were written for "lots of speculation for everyone", which would deliberately invite misunderstanding of the actual intention.
