1. The Illusive Man (TiM)
In Mass Effect 3, I fully expect to find out that he has been indoctrinated. My rational begins with Vigil from Mass Effect 1. When you talk to Vigil about Saren, he makes a really strangely worded comment. The comment was in essence that Saren was not the only indoctinated being under its control. The AI goes on to state that Saren was only the most "visible" of Sovreign's agents. I don't think this wording is coincidence, I think it has deeper meaning. I think TiM has been both implanted and indoctrinated, and TiM both:
1. Knows it, To support this theory I will call your attention to his eyes.
2. Is a sleeper agent who has yet to be "turned on" to his ultimate goal.
TiM's reason to take a stark stand against the reapers and to invest so heavily in their defeat has not been clearly explained by any means. It would however be explained by the puppet wanting to cut the strings of the puppettier. As such I can't help but think that he has a very personal stake in this beyond its just bad for business.
2. The Mass Relays
In every game so far the Mass Relays have been an integral part of the storyline. What we already know from Mass Effect 2 is that the Mass Relays can be programmed. In Mass Effect 1 the protheans are on the verge of unlocking the technology. This means it can be duplicated percisely as the trip to the Citadel showed. In Mass Effect 2, we learn that the protocol that the relays use can be differentiated by IFF. The easiest way then to defeat the superior reaper fleet would thus be to use their own genius against them. I suspect the missions will be about altering the relays and taking full advantage of the "reaper" loophole. Shepard will repurpose these relays to deliver the reaper army to the nearest black hole/sun thus taking out the bulk of the horde. Of course the reapers are very unlikely to be totally fooled by this manuver, but I bet it would significantly weaken their numbers.
