If they can explain how Shepard came to being breathing on Earth, when last seen on the Citadel, then I'm sure that they can explain why the Mass Relays didn't destroy the Solar System.

Though strangely enough, this isn't actually a continuity error that bothers me too much, I presumed that the explosion of the Mass Relays simply had a different effect when appearing to overload as opposed to being stuck by an asteroid.

My only problem was that without the Mass Relays the Mass Effect universe was as good as dead.
