How will game 'journalists' spin Casey Hudson's return to BW?

Look up "Sea Lioning".

I feel you sorta. Kinda like how the original ending toe KOTOR 2. However once the cut content was restored it was much better.

Don't get me wrong, the EC dramatically improved upon the endings, but the damage was done and the bad taste still lingers in my mouth to this day.

It certainly doesn't help me start a new playthough of the OT given how much I despise ME1.

Interesting note:  The doctors left a few months after ME3's launch...

*gets the tin foil out*

I get where you are coming from. The endings were pretty depressing. Hell, when I replay the trilogy, somewhere mid ME3 I begin getting rather sad. That's why I do the DLC and walk away. I was  really depressed over the endings for the longest time. There wasn't one that made me really feel better about how it went down. I wanted my shepard to live because I really hate the idea that someone has to give and  give and give and get disrespected and mistreated by 'friends' while they are only trying to help save people only to ultimately die or be left for dead under rubble in a war zone in some Schrodinger cat bullshit state. What you are saying about how you feel, I get. I really do. I was angry and depressed for a while. I adapted to it because I loved  the characters so much and the other games so much until I realized that every time I got to that third game I'd get really depressed. Years later, I find it the saddest game to play. I love the hell out of ME1 and ME2 but ME3 gets me pretty somber early on. The whole war game thing is just too dark for me. It's why I adore MEA and even though I kind of wish it was a bit more serious, I'm also relieved as hell that it's fun with lots of fun moments and more lighthearted in general. But given it's five years later, I just moved on because there is no point in my persistent suffering over some ending in a game. I prefer to be happy and not bother with it ever again if it will make me sad.

Well said. ME3 was my favorite game in the OT, but is was a very emotionally heavy game. A bit overwhelming at times. ME:A was the cure for what ailed me in that regard. Goofy fun and a grand adventure, it was exactly what I wanted.

Headcanon's don't really count...

You must've unlocked some secret ending even better the high EMS destroy!

Again, agreed, but ME1 gives me carpal tunnel. The controls and gameplay are just... 

No, nothing secret, it was the same for the original ending as the galaxy survived with the destroy option.
If you did not understand the endings that is your problem.

Relays nonfunctional: no problem we can rebuild them.
Colective cicilizationsin ruin: same as in most big wars.
Millions dead: same in any big galactic war, so nothing new.
Governmends on verge of collapse: same in any galactic war, governments come and go and the worlds continue without problems.

Thank you.
