Eh... just because there was one crazy robot on the Citadel, didn't make it foreshadowing for me. The Geth were a good argument for the theme in the first game, but then you found out they were manipulated by the Reapers to become the assholes they were which kind of makes the Reapers seem more of the problem. I always thought the Dark Energy plot was a bit more foreboding. I mean the Mass Effect universe was practically built on mass effect technology, which is used by harnessing dark energy. Then you have the whole Haestrom incident in which you saw the harmful affects of dark energy and it pretty much ruined the planet. After looking at the original ending, as a basic concept, I like it a tad better than the Catalyst plot. Still, there are problems with it but that may be because it wasn't as fully developed. With a bit more tweaking and choices, it would have been a perfect ending. At least then, Shepard would have had the possibility of living other than a single breath scene.
