Why is the apparently wrong choice, presented by Ithe image of TIM, coloured blue, while the good guy Anderson's red?


 * As controversial as it may sound, the following is true: Blue is a liberal color and Red a conservative color. Destroy is the choice that the Republican Space Ranger rednecks would make. Blue also means submission to authority, and Red can mean rebirth through violent change (the color of the Revolution).


 * Killing an entire race and throwing away your ideological growth just to save your own ass actually is pretty Renegade.


 * Starbrat could be lying. If Shepard has the means to kill him, then of course he's going to make that option sound unpleasant as possible.

Why isn't Sheard bleeding like a slaughtered pig any more?

It could be the unfinished seeds for a Last Temptation of Christ type denouement, with the disapppearing injuries symbolizing Shepard seeing through the Catalyst's deception and rejecting it. Or it could simiply be animation error. I imagine we'll find out tomorrow.

Was there something else that could be done instead of picking one of those idiotic options?

Is Homer Simpson fat and stupid? Casey Hudson is to ME what Brannon Braga was to Star Trek, it seems. From my experience, whenever someone bitches about their "artistic integrity" being threatened, it means that they're a narcissistic, self-indulgent blowhard who has become to full of himself, and his "bosses" have correctly called him on it.

Casey has as much artistic integrity as the actor in this example:

DIRECTOR: You seem a lot more insulted by this material than you should be.

ACTOR: I'm a vibrant artiste surrounded by Philistines.

DIRECTOR: Really, because I've looked at your resume, and I'm not seeing any esteemed productions with prestigious luminaries. Do you even know who Terrence Malick is?

ACTOR: You're a tyrant comparable to Napoleon.

DIRECTOR: You can share with us what makes you too good for this production, or you can swallow your pride and finish this. Your call.
