I'm really hoping the devs didn't mean that they thought FemShep players would love Kasumi because Shepard wears a dress. That's kind of insulting. But, then again, in my more cynical moments, I'm convinced we're supposed to view Miranda as a 22nd century Bond girl and her complexity was created by accident.

I've thought in that direction before. In the end, I think she's convincingly portrayed as older, more experienced and more confident than your typical Bond girl.

I kind of like how easy it is to spot haters who haven't actually talked to Miranda. They instantly say 'obvious fanboy service' or some crap about how she looks.

And on that note I need to sleep. At least I won't be able to kill any more posters that way.

You think you know fashion, well fashion's a stranger.
You think fashion's your friend, my friend fashion is danger.


To be fair, I could really do without some of the camera angles during conversations with her and the semi-transparent nature of her loyalty outfit.

I like the outfit, it's not transparent, it only appears as if. But you're right about the camera angles. 


Point taken about the outfit. I find it interesting that the more people like her as a character, the less likely they are to remark on her...assets. I only start getting uncomfortable when you guys start talking about Strahvoski.

I'm okay. How's everyone else?

I can't wait for the Pacific either! I can't believe you just said "better than BoB" Badger. Nothing could top that miniseries!

I'm okay thanks, except I'm being peppered with Star Wars quotes by a certain member of this thread. Image IPB

Well, we try not to talk about her too much, but sometimes when the thread is in slumber mode all we can think to discuss is Yvonne. Image IPB

I must say there's remarkably little of that here, compared to some other character threads (Kaidan, anyone). But maybe that's just because it's all diverted to Yvonne...

You won't find me taking part in that, apart from commenting on it. These pictures posted by gutty border on the disturbing. Not by themselves, but through the intensity I see lurking in people's minds.

@Meg: I know, BoB was amazing! But I hope the Pacific is better because that theatre was the more ignored part of WW2, plus the Japs were brutal. It will be hard to beat BoB I'll admit that. Lol favorite part in the entire series was when Easy was in Bastogne and Joe Toye jumped into a foxhole and yelled "What the f**k! Someone took a sh** in my foxhole! Someone is gonna die, someone is gonna f***ing die!" Haha classic. Or when Guarnere told Joe "I told ya I'd beat you back to the States!" after they both got their legs blown off from an artillery round.

@Ieldra: the Yvonne pics may be borderline disturbing you're right. I try not to be vulgar or disturbing about it though. I'll make a silly comment, like a page prior, but that's it. I don't creep on Yvonne on the Internet that's just disgusting IMO.

The line may be blurry, but at least I don't know what she ate today! :huh: No, really the picture hunting for further posting and interview browsing in hopes of finding something new about the show isn't wrong in my opinion. The posts on these forums are usually quite exaggerated anyway. :innocent:

Chapter 5

Shepard looked up from the data pad he was reading and smiled.  “Anderson!  What are you doing here?” Shepard said as he moved to get out of bed.  Anderson quickly waved him to stay where he was, “Don’t get up Shepard, you won’t do yourself any favours.”  Anderson took the chair from Shepard’s desk and carried it down the step to the living area.  He put it next to Shepard’s bed and sat down, a  somewhat concerned look on his face, “Just dropping by to see an old  friend.”  Shepard’s brow furrowed as he studied Anderson’s face  closely.  “What’s the real reason you’re here, sir?” he asked.  Anderson let out a small sigh and dropped his shoulders, “Miss Lawson invited me aboard Shepard, using your name.  We talked in her office before I came up to see you; she’s worried about you Shepard.  You two are close aren’t you?”  Shepard seemed to drift into a long past memory before answering.  “I haven’t been as close to anyone since...” his eyes began to glisten as he spoke, “since Jenny.”

Anderson noticed a tear fall from Shepard’s face.  He took a moment to let Shepard compose himself before he spoke.  “Jenny?  I thought you cared for each other a great deal, but I didn’t think you were that close, at least not yet.  She told me you haven’t been sleeping well, that you’re plagued by dreams of your last mission.  What happened?”  Shepard looked thoughtful for a moment before turning back to look at Anderson, “Nothing went wrong Anderson, nothing.  It was the smoothest operation I’ve ever been a part of.  No friendly casualties, none.  That’s what I don’t get.  You know that since Elysium I’ve had dreams after every major operation going over in my mind what I could have done better, what I could have done to save those I lost.” He paused for a moment and closed his eyes briefly before continuing, ”You know I had terrible dreams after Virmire, going over the operation again trying to see if there was anything I could have done to have saved Ash.  There was nothing anyone could do to save her, but I kept going over it anyway just to be sure.  This time we didn’t lost anyone.  Everyone on my team made it through and we saved every last crewman the Collectors captured.  This time I just don’t understand it Anderson.”

“Have you talked to her about any of this Shepard?  Have you talked to her about Elysium, about Jenny?” Anderson asked.  Shepard raised his eyes to the ceiling, “No, I haven’t.  I had dinner with my Yeoman, Kelly, a week or so back and talked to her about Elysium.  Unofficially she’s the ship’s counsellor. I knew it was getting close to the end and that we’d be hitting the Omega-4 relay soon and it was something I needed to get off my chest before the mission.  I couldn’t tell Miranda then, I couldn’t risk having anyone on my team distracted by any concern for my emotional wellbeing.  But I didn’t talk about Jenny; it still hurts every time I do.”  Anderson stood and turned to look at the aquarium, “I told Miss Lawson about you and Elysium Shepard.  Not everything, but enough.  I’ve arranged to have the Normandy moved to dry-dock for repair.  If I’m right Miss Lawson is already planning a little trip for the two of you while you’re in dock, at my suggestion.”  A gentle smile crept onto Anderson’s face as he turned back to look at Shepard, “Take my advice Shepard, tell her what happened on Elysium.  Tell her everything.  Tell her about Jenny.  Maybe it’s time you faced you went back and faced your demons.  You’re not alone anymore Shepard.”

I didn't want to imply you did.
It's just that some fans get really intense. I've always hated that - this loss of even a minimum of detachment, the inability to take criticism. These people are the main reason why I haven't called myself a fan of anything for years. I'd rather not have more of that here.

What it comes down to: IMO gutty went overboard. At least the pictures themselves were nice.

Then you'll be pleased to know that the story of Elysium is the next chapter.  If what ends up on the page ends up the same as what's in my head then I think everyone will enjoy it.

@Darth: Nice job!

@Ieldra: No worries, I wasn't trying to imply that you were implying my comments on Yvonne....lol if that makes sense. But I agree with you nonetheless.
