I deny that the Illusive Man is shady! As evidence, I cite... well, hmmm... can't really think of anything. :P

He's shady, but unlike the moronic bureaucracy that is the Council, he gets results. And that's why I like him! When Shep says something that seems a little... out there, does TIM say "Shut up! I'll handle it from here!" and place the SR2 on lockdown? No! He says "Ok. Run with it. Here's some money and info and maybe a few new guns."

And seriously, people, I think TIM is getting a bit of a bad wrap on the whole Pragia thing. I mean, he's done horrible things. No denying that. He should be held accountable for them, but not for things he didn't do. And it seems pretty clear that even he had no idea what the (bleep) was going on at the Teltin facility. If he had known, the staff wouldn't have been leaving nervous log entries about how TIM was getting suspicious. Holding him responsible for that is literally like holding the Alliance responsible for Cerberus' actions.
