I only own the original, so I don't think I can play the extended cut. Anyway, it seems to me, they just tried to fill some holes, but actually didn't explain everything. Among many questions, the squadmate who was running with Shepherd and got incinerated by Harbinger? comes out of the wrecked Normandy ...

If one is open to "therories": that's my point, the theory explains everything, but doesn't solve the Reaper problem - Shepherd alive, but still on Earth by the beam. So making a new ME game without solving the problem is kind of stupid. Not to mention all the fans would want the same crew - who they grew fond of - to return.
