I have an ME2 question - its sort of Kaidan related in a roundabout way :
Why did the Alliance (or Admiral Hackett) wait 2 years to retrieve the missing dog tags. They had to have known where the Normany was - they had to pick up the escape pods & also Shep sent a distress beacon, as well as the fact that Joker survived & could have told them exact co-ordinates. Did Hackett know Cerberus was rebuilding Shepard, is he somehow in the loop with Cerberus? Given that the email from Hackett was one of the first ones Shep received & before confirmation that Shep was alive it seems odd that Hackett would have given her the job of retrieving dog tags & placing a monument unless he had inside knowledge of the fact. As the surviving ranking officer, why wasn't Kaidan given this mission? - or was it offered and he knocked it back (I can't see Kaidan doing this - he would have followed orders no matter how hard it would have been for him). I also think Chakwas and/or Joker could be Anderson/Hackett spies - it still seems odd to me that the doctor would leave the alliance and that the Alliance would ground their best pilot.
Okay, probably more than one question, but this has really been bugging me.
This one bothered me too. Also, I wondered why there doesn't seem to be any sign that the Alliance looked for Shepard's remains; Liara found them and gave them to Cerberus. Seems like there's some deeper political machinations going on here. Also, another interesting tidbit -- in my current game, my Shep's background is Spacer and she just received an email from her mother wanting to know why she (mom) had to hear about Shep's revival 3rd hand. It was interesting because the email didn't really convey a lot of indignation -- just, get in touch with me and stay safe. ????
I believe that Hacketts e-mail starts by saying they’ve finally located the exact location of the crash, think of it like a ship wreck, you may know the general location but it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to find it, a planet is fairly vast after all. Now factor in that said planet is in the Terminus system where Alliance ships don’t frequent often, or if they do they risk attack, that and they had the more imminent rescue mission to deal with so probably just the one ship that went in, got the survivors and left. Now as for Shep’s body there was prob a short search at the time but given Joker’s story and the rescue mission to deal with they gave up, figuring her lost forever, needle in a haystack springs to mind. It may have been some time after that before they could risk sending in another ship by vthen the exact location would be lost.
Now if they’ve only just found the wreck you would ask the highest ranking officer on the ship, which would be Shep. Hackett’s e-mail is DLC so the timing depends on when you download it.
Now as for Joker joining Cerberus, his story was plausible but the moment I saw Chakwas I figured Alliance spy, now it figures the Alliance has some idea, if not the full story of what’s going on in Cerberus and I imagine Shep body being retrieved would be hard to keep quiet. Perfect opportunity to send in Joker and Chakwas with a believable story, where are they gonna get assigned? Well as Cerb wants to gain Shep’s trust there is only one logical choice. Look at Anderson, he was hardly surprised to see you alive, I think he knew all along what was going on.
Now as for Shep’s mum, she’s an Alliance officer I think she even mentions in the e-mail that she assumes you’ve been on some secret mission, if anyone understands how it works she would, so no I don’t think she’d be mad, all she was saying was it would’ve been nice for Shep to sneak her some communication to let her know she wasn’t dead.

Just a random thought and I realize it's probably because the graphics are a bit better, but did anyone else think Kaidan looks a bit older in ME2 ? and yes, we know he IS 2 years older, but to me he actually looks older....
and I don't mean that in a negative way at all, to me he looks a bit more "weathered" and I like it...yeah I like it a lot...ME1 Kaidan is smoking hot, ME2 Kaidan is still smoking hot, but there's a bit more "gruff-ness" to him that's very, very sexy methinks.
Kaidan is the type of man that is still going to be deliciously hot for many, many years to come...
I actually thought when I first saw him I detected a stubble shadow RAWR! *shivers with delight* I love stubble!

Yesterday the thread was busy. But it was the "bad" kind of busy. But I'm bored at work today, we need to get some "good" busy happening here.
Topic for discussion: do you expect Kaidan to grovel before you take him back in ME3?
Personally, it's not a big deal to me, a spoken apology would be better than the email, for certain, but I would just be so relieved if he were on my team, I'd be okay with just starting over. I know other people, however, want him to express that he was very, very wrong not to trust Shepard on Horizon.
Thoughts?
I wouldn't want him to grovel, but he should apologize. I'd like to see an actual *discussion* about what happened. It'd be nice to see Shepard say something to the effect of, "I really gave you some lame responses, and I'm sorry I didn't explain things".
Though Kaidan is the party most at fault, Shepard's got a little bit of the blame too for just saying "hey, so you should trust me unconditionally even though you haven't seen me in two years and you don't know if Cerberus installed a killswitch on me". The whole thing was a clusterf*ck.
I don’t want grovelling, I’m with Fort on this one, an apology, yes, but Shep’s shouldn’t get off scott free either, I would like an arguement, a bit of sexy angst, then a proper conversation where they discuss why they were both at fault, then bring on the smexyness!
