I agree on the stuff about the Citadel - it was my only major disappointment from the EC that none of that was cleared up at all.

Not saying that I liked the rest of it, but it was pretty clear what the EC would contain all along, which is why I'm finding some of the complaints along the lines of "Grr they kept the starkid" confusing. There were only three or four things that genuinely surprised me, and this was the only negative one.

Also, I'd note that the Reapers aren't precisely "helping out" of their own free will in Control (although I'd imagine that quite a few people might have a problem with Shepard becoming an all-powerful machine demigod instead - somewhere Udina is spinning in his grave).
