Why is Shepard and Anderson the only two to survive the trip through the beam? Just before the final push, we hear that the Reapers are sending people "alive and dead" through the beam to the Citadel. Then, what happend to the other living people sent through? There is nothing more dangerous then Keepers on the Citadel when Shepard walks through it, and clearly the beam doesn't kill on transport, so how did they all die? It's probably just an oversight, and the dialogue before the push should only have been speaking about sending dead humans through the beam...
