Actually, I think wrecking the mass relays is the single most incomprehensible element of the ending, because it completely undercuts what the ending was going for. We were given a "big picture" dilemma of organics vs. synthetics, and (leaving aside whether that was convincing or not) were supposed to decide on a "big picture" solution. But by wrecking the mass relays, and ending galactic civilization as we know it, there IS no big picture anymore!

I mean, so what if the geth *are* essentially a fluke and there's tons of hostile machine intelligences just waiting out there for someone to run into them? They won't get here for centuries now (at the least)! Of all the things people have complained about in the ending, this is the only one where I don't even *understand* what the point of it was.
