So I just got caught up on some of my forum reading, and first of all grats are in order if this thread really did break the forums last night.
I also checked the part (on both this thread and the Miranda thread) where someone tried to start a flamewar between the two fan communities. I'm glad most people here realized that such hatred is the antithesis of the spirit of LOVE threads, and posted in the Miranda thread saying so. It speaks very highly of the Tali fan community.
The fact that there are communities for all of these characters if proof that Bioware is able to create lots of different compelling characters, and gives hope that they'll be able to give all the character and LI arcs a strong conclusion in the future. Part of the power of gaming as a medium is its interactivity. If (heaven forbid) the Mass Effect movie ever comes out, it'll be a director/writer decision who Shepard ends up with. In the ME game, it's the player's decision, which is part of what makes the experience so powerful. The fact that we all come to these forums for some good, clean, dorktacular fun over a character they love gives us a lot in common, and it matters a lot more IMO then which character you like the best.
Here's hoping you can both build Tali a home and start making genetically perfect babies with Miranda in ME3.

(Ditto all other LIs, and I hope someone edits the above to include them, too.)
