Wow. What? Well, I'll give credit (I suppose?) to BioWare for just saying fuck it and going completely batshit insane for this DLC. Makes it entertaining I guess.
And that awkward blank stare:

i'm suing bioware for plagiarism
There's not enough mjlaughing.gifs for that crap.
OMG, this will be so great. Tacky but great.
What the fuck.
No, seriously what the fuck?
Is this trying to be funny? Or is this supposed to be legitimate? I can't tell because the writing is so... so... fanfictiony. Even if it was supposed to be serious it was just embarrassing.
If the mass effect universe wasn't dead to me before, seeing this was the final nail in the coffin. Holy hell.
The opening movie namedrop kinda reminds me of Deadly Premonition. Don't you agree, Zach?
After hearing how the DLC doesn't seem to take itself seriously in a lot of scenes, i hope this is one of them.
Oh my god I feel ashamed just for finishing it.
"I had not idea you were so into this"
I'm buying the DLC right now.

Oh god, that Tali thing. That Tali thing. I'm dying.
Seriously, I'm dying, call 911 or something.

I don't really see what changed? Bioware have always been pretty funny.
I'm actually relieved Bioware didn't take themselves too seriously with this one. A serious DLC would just highlight the fact that that godawful ending is not going to change. At least with this one it lets the player have some cheesy good times with all their squad members. Total fan service, but at least it looks genuinely funny.

I love how self-conscious this DLC is. All these little gags and jokes. It doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the game at all, but it is an excellent epilogue to an excellent trilogy. I'll just consider it as post-ending.

Good lord. Haha. How did this happen? Who let this go through? I know people like to highlight the FFX laughing scene...but this...this is something else.

The Tali video is a laugh. Ultimately from what I can gather this seems to be massively self-aware - "I should go" jokes, nods to how ridiculous Shepard being constantly ignored was, etc etc - and that Tali insanity, after them talking about Fleet and Flotila for two games as a background piece. Like, it's just one last piece of fun before these characters are probably largely gone forever. Let them have at it, I say. ME3 is plenty overwrought death and destruction, so this allows them to close out on those characters with something a little nicer.

I have a dream. A dream of the BioWare writers sitting in a room and going "You know who I'm really sick of? Tali fans. I mean, we've had to endure endless discussions about her hips, sick fanart like you wouldn't believe, scientific reactions on the composition of quarian sweat, I'm fucking sick of them. We threw them a curveball by showing her face, but fuck, these guys just don't quit. Let's fucking make everyone who romanced her regret it."
And they did. Bravo, BioWare.
Though there's still people bound to actually like this shit.

If that were true then why isn't it funny?

Well, the Tali thing is funny in a sort of "wow, wtf" sort of way - but it's obvious that exists for the ridiculous sect of Tali Romancers who have racked up tons of posts on their forums or whatever. They're appealing to that particular crowd. I imagine Garrus' scene for FemShep is similar, to be honest, as those two in particular have these really rabid fanbases. They've pandered to those fans, but this is the last chance to do so. So I chuckle at it and say, well, fine. Let them have it. She's probably gone forever after this anyway.
The other stuff...?
Blasto?

Haha, yes. The DLC has among the funniest moments in the trilogy. The party was great. I kind of regret
speaking to Glyph and asking him to tone down the party. I wonder what would have happened if I took it up a notch.

Not very. But I loved her romance scene.

Going to spoiler this to be safe. No plot details, just general info - not just about Miranda, but what to expect from all old cast members in a vague way.
- All your squad members that are alive and around whenever you do these string of missions appear throughout. There's a party scene that brings everyone together, so you get to see evreybody interacting.
- After it's over you can 'invite people over' and share private scenes with them - as a friend or otherwise - so you can spend private time with Miranda as a friend or a lover.
- There's sections where you can use old friend as squad mates.
- At the end you unlock a combat simulator. It lets you battle the enemies from multiplayer, including the Collectors, at different difficulties. The entire ME2 cast (save Thane and Legion, who will both be dead by this point) and Wrex are usable in here as squad mates whenever you like, in any combination. Their skill trees are all-new for ME3, redesigned, but are based off their skill sets in previous games. You can have a Wrex and Grunt team, for instance, despite neither being proper squad mates in this game.

The last point in particular is, I think, pretty awesome. The final mission of the game should've been like that.

Just finished this.. I... don't even... So goddamn weird this was.
I think I liked it. But I'm not really sure. I actually audibly laughed several times. Sometimes because of clever jokes, mostly because WTF IS GOING ON!? Whatever the cause, I was being entertained and had a smile on my face. Clocked in at around 6 hours playtime.
Seems to me like the writers had carte blanche, and went kinda nuts.

I want to see Javik in a suit.
And this DLC has inspired me to play through the entire game again. Why? Because reasons.

Wow I did not know about the last one. It seems really great.
Even DLC characters? Even without Legion and Thane that's a LOT of characters

Did Ashley say this in a separate "romance" scene? I just browsed the BSN for the first time in over a year and saw a thread stating that Ash only had one separate scene with Shep.
Well, for me
there were a couple of comments she made referencing your romance here and there both in the casino mission and the party. There's also a scene where you guys go drinking but again it's more off-handed comments if anything. There's really no tangible scene that I've encountered like the Miranda / Tali LI scenes where you invite them up to your apartment. She said that part, right after the party by the docks when you leave for the Normandy and Shep reflects / gets sad. It was a touching scene actually.
Yeah, me neither. Though I did find
Mordin's datapad. Where he records a bunch of singing for you.
Where and how??
I found it in one of the bedrooms on the floor. It was after the party aswell.
