1. Perhaps, but it's still in that weird "bridge" place. It doesn't move the story forward as much as the other games. The first game is about discovering the Reaper threat. The third game is about ending the Reaper threat. The second game is about... squashing an alien bug race controlled by the Reapers?

2. These things are meant to survive for millions of years, though. Surely the Reapers planned around rocks flying in space. Also, I think a supernova is more powerful. I mean, we're talking about something with the power to destroy a star here.

3. The wiki page refers to it as an AI. I don't think we spent enough time with it to really determine anything, which is a big part of the problem.
