Why did the Normandy crash land on a Garden of Eden jungle planet? Why is it so triumphantly framed when they have no idea what the fuck is going on? How did your squadmates who disappeared on the ground suddenly get up on the ship? Wait, won't Tali and Garrus starve since they can't eat the same food? Wait, what about the multi-species fleets around Earth? Aren't they stuck there for decades or centuries now, orbiting a nearly ruined planet? How can the choices about entire species' fates even matter if they can't even travel across the galaxy any more to make those choices meaningful? Why does the Catalyst have more options if your fleet if bigger? Why does Destroy kill all the Reapers, but also the geth, but not EDI who is made out of Reaper software? How come Destroy can't distinguish between different types of synthetics, but Control does, just affecting Reapers? How does Shepard jumping into a laser beam send his/her "essence" across the galaxy to make everyone into cyborgs? Wait, why does the Catalyst call Shepard partly synthetic, when "synthetic" in Mass Effect specifically means artificial intelligence, not mechanical bodies, and only a few hours before EDI told Shepard that his/her mind is totally organic? When the Reapers consider synthetic life as a threat, do they just mean robot people? What about clones or genetically engineered races? Because they just talk about robots. How does turning everyone into cyborgs stop the threat of robots taking over and killing everyone? Can cyborgs not make robots now? Because otherwise the same philosophy of creations overthrowing creators stands. What, did all the metal in the galaxy turn into meat or something, like how all the life in the galaxy has wires on it now? Why does Joker's hat have circuits on it? Why does EDI have circuits on her skin, she was already a robot, did she become a double robot? If the mass relays all blew up and Arrival says that's like a supernova, did you just kill everyone in the galaxy near a relay? If not, why not? Was it a special controlled explosion triggered by the color-coded laser beams? Why? Why does Shepard never question anything the Catalyst says? Why does the Catalyst still act as though synthetic and organic life are incompatible if you guided EDI and Joker to fall in love, and brought the quarians and geth peace? Why did Sovereign and Harbinger not seem to know anything about this "preserving organic life" motivation in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2? They seemed to think it was all about destruction or Reaper reproduction. If the Reaper AI lives in the Citadel, why does Sovereign have to open up the Citadel's relay in ME1 to let the other Reapers in? Why didn't the Reapers just modify the Citadel to stop the Crucible from attaching? What, they didn't know about it? They're a race that specializes in taking over people's minds, they never found out about it in over a billion years? Why were there two power terminals connected to the Reapers on board the Citadel all this time? Did nobody know what they were? Or study them? Why is this old space grandpa in the future telling this graphic tale of sex and violence to his grandson? Is Shepard space Jesus now? Was the whole trilogy a very inappropriate bedtime story? Why did they decide to have the farewell message be a pop-up asking you to buy DLC?
