Technically, we've had that happen twice. In ME1, we had Virmire. In ME2, Shep has no idea whether Kaidan is on the Collector Ship when it leaves Horizon. I always remember that panic in my pulse up until Kaidan's voice cuts off Delan.
Me too. It was like
sithspit! (or soemthing like that) Then relief. Then heartbreak.
You know what would be nice? To have Kaidan rescue Shepard for once. She's done it a couple time now: Eden Prime, Virmire, Horizon. To have him come to help her out at a critical moment would be a great way to bring him back into the story--and would even things a little more between them.
Fire Eye:
My hope for Kaidan and Ashley is that they truly become heroes in their own right, out from under Shepard's shadow. I hope this doesn't end in their dying pointless deaths to prove how heroic they are.
I also think it would be nice if they cinematically saved Shepard for once, also without dying a pointless death by doing so and thus fulfilling their "important role" for ME3.
Hey cool! We're thinking alike.

I mean, I don't want Kaidan to always be Lois Lane. He should get to be Superman sometimes, too. Well, perhaps not Superman (although the boyscout things works) since that's Shepard. But Batman or something like that. No one else is quite as powerful or influential as Superman, but you can have another character who on equal footing but has different strengths.
Perhaps a better example would be like Dick Grayson (former Robin & Nightwing, recently Batman) and Barbara Gordon (previously Batgirl, now Oracle). Dick is the one out fighting crime. Barbara is the one behind the scenes supporting him (and other heros) with her computer/tech skills and her intel. One doesn't have to be better than the other. Their styles comliment each other.

This is exactly what I was just thinking. I would love this to happen in me3.
Its really going to be interesting to see his interaction with Shepard now hes no longer serving under her and there on equal footing, no more protocol. He was angry yeah but the more assertive side to Kaidan was nice to see
I don't like how things went down on Horizon. But I can't help but see how ME2 Kaidan is hotter than ME1 Kaidan.

@Jane: Sorry. Didn't mean to offend.
