Ugh - yet another terrible mission. N7: Javelin Missiles Launched is stupid on so many different levels. First of all, you get the mission that ballistic missiles have been launched from Franklin's moon and will hit the colony unless someone does something about it. Of course, that someone has to be you. Despite the fact that you were in a different solar system when the message came in. And rather than use the amazing power of the Normandy to just blow these missiles out of the sky, you have to land at the moon base, and with less than 5 minutes to go, rush the base, defeat the terrorists, and even THEN you have to make the ridiculous choice of which missile to stop. Because of course, there's only one kill code. Of course. The Alliance couldn't have provided a second one? Missions like this are the bane of the game, because I'm far likelier to remember how much this annoyed me than how cool Overlord was.

Reply to Morinth's Lover: Honestly, I really didn't like the Shadow Broker mission. I felt it suffered from serious combat pacing issues, contrived plot devices, and a ridiculous finale (actually, TWO ridiculous finales, if you count the combat with the asari Spectre). The only cool parts I thought were the storm itself and reading all the dossiers. The Shadow Broker's ability to get camera footage from anywhere borders on the godlike, and makes me wonder how he wasn't able to see Shepard coming from a galaxy away. He had footage of Jacob ON the Normandy SR-2 for cryin' out loud. Of course, none of the video had decent audio, so I guess his power wasn't all encompassing... *rolling eyes here* Honestly, I felt it was just a huge fail for such a pimped DLC.
