"Worse yet, we see little to no evidence of each asset in the final battle." Lie.

"Even worse, the photo is inconsistent with Tali's body" Lie.

"the Reapers, having an incredible sense of drama, decide to take the Citadel to Earth and cut off all the relays except the one leading to the Sol system" Lie.

"There's no reason for us to land on Earth at all, when we can just go to the Citadel directly. To make matters worse, the Conduit itself is completely ignored." Okay, so explain how the Normandy can land on the Citadel. Also, in case you were hoping other people were too stupid to remember, ME2 mentioned that the Conduit had stopped working.

"The Catalyst claims they need to wipe out advanced organic lifeforms before they are wiped out by a different race of synthetic lifeforms. This brings to mind one question: what's the difference between 'death by Reaper' and 'death by Geth'? What's the point of this supposed preservation?" Gee, it's almost as if you're trying to ignore a major part of the Catalyst's explanation for the Reapers' existence. You couldn't be doing so simply because acknowledging everything the Catalyst says doesn't give you a reason to whine, could you?

"The whole "organic vs. synthetic" conflict doesn't exist, or at least not in the narrative. Nearly every relevant example of a synthetic lifeform trying to destroy an organic lifeform was simply an indirect extension of the Reaper conflict." Lie.

"Shepard has nothing of value to add to this scene, and most of the plot progression is done at the behest of our newly introduced antagonist." Please learn what the definition of "antagonist" is.

"The player is expected to believe that somehow the Crucible is not only capable of wiping out all organic life" Proofreading!

"Why can't the Catalyst up and leave?" And what indication is there that the Catalyst can simply do so and end the Reaper cycles?

"Mac Walters wanted 'lots of speculation for everyone!' but what the player needs is closure first." Because shoving words in other people's mouths is a brilliant argumentative technique!

When I heard you were going to do a retrospective of the series, I knew that your rant against the ending would be filled with nothing but lies, baseless speculation, and ignorance. And you certainly did not disappoint.
