[quote name='shajek']Ravenhood: Great "direct responses." It helped me to understand what little things I missed, even though my Readiness was at 98% and my Military Strength was over 6700. There were just a couple of missions I missed while on the Citadel.
Like Cheapy's ass-shot of Miranda, there is a good view of EDI's camel toe showing her working parts.[/QUOTE]
Thanks; most of the Citadel missions were fairly unimportant, but there were a few here and there that definitely shouldn't be missed. I've played each game making sure I never missed anything, though, so I tend to spend far too much time there. >_<
[quote name='leylines']Yeah, very specifically in the popular indoctrination video they show that nobody helps the kid onto the shuttle.
This weeks cagcast was difficult to listen to because they got the lore incorrect quite a lot. Shipwreck was the most disappointing because usually he is the most knowledgeable and levelheaded but his insistence that Ashley had to live if you had a male Shepard was annoying. That said, Cheapy, I still love the Jamaican accent and I still love the show but not this episode so much.[/QUOTE]
Shipwreck's mentioned it a few times, but he never got around to finishing the first game, and it came out a few years back now anyways, so it's understandable if someone forgets a detail. Besides, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who plays the game save the same-sex teammate, so it's a very forgivable mistake.
Bioware is partially to blame as well, with so many extra stories and expansions of the universe in non-game format that many people may not ever know about. Most of the games detail things very well, but there are some instances that simply don't work. Like Eva Core's involvement and why she was important outside of being EDI's new body; or, why Udina was the councilor when, in some players' cases, they chose Anderson and the only explanation we got was "oh, he quit". >_< And let's not forget Paul Grayson or Kai Leng, where anyone who's only played the games and hasn't read other material will have NO IDEA who they are.

I'm honestly glad you posted those links. I've read those before, and was hoping you had something else, because as I previously said, Bioware has made no direct statement on the indoctrination theory. All they've said is that the ending DLC will expand on what's happened, but as we all know, there is a discrepancy with the fan-base as to what exactly happened. Which means that, until this DLC is released and we all see what Bioware intended, the indoctrination theory is still a viable option. Bioware/Casey Hudson saying that they aren't changing the ending doesn't mean that the indoctrination theory isn't correct; it just means that they'll give players more clarity as to what, exactly, happened.
I don't want to get into a discussion about the theories and how full of plotholes the ending is, but if the indoctrination theory isn't correct, then Bioware has a lot to explain away, considering how broken things will be if the relays really are destroyed.
