When Shepard heads to the ai core, when edi goes offline, there is a noise heard as Shepard approaches the door. Why is she/he asking Joker what it is and not Adams who is standing right there?

Jumping on this, why would you put an enemy AI next to your ships AI core, especially when you know the thing can extract data from even ancient alien sources?

All Sovereign had to do was fly to the Citadel, dock somewhere, and pretend to be dormant. People would be curious about this strange new ship and investigations will ensue. In time large numbers of people would be indoctrinated and subject to Sovereigns will. Then he could do as he pleases. Or the Reapers could skip the Citadel nonsense entirely and just fly in from dark space en masse and lay waste to everything. No vanguard, no advanced warning. Yep, Arrival sure screwed with the threat level and intelligence of Reapers. If all it took was a few years to fly in to the Milky Way from 'Dark Space' then why didn't they just do so? The writers could have saved themselves a heap of trouble had 'Dark Space' been a pocket universe where the Reapers were hibernating instead of physically being a few thousand LY from the Galactic rim.

The thing tells Shepard that the synthetics will have full understanding of organics, if the green is chosen. How is that possible when organics don't have full understanding of themselves? Space magic?
When Garrus is leading Shepard to locate Victus, he stops at a small drop. Why? Shepard slides down. Couldn't Garrus do that? Every time I look back, I've never seen Garrus/James/Liara slide down.

Space magic? I think we understand ourselves pretty well. How ever ego, stupidity and general flaws in how we think interfere and cause problems. But we are also capable of compensating for those actions in dealing with and interacting with each other. Synthetic life doesn't operate like that. Red is red is red. Not red is blue because I want it to be and I will cut off my own nose to prove it.

For Garrus, it's probably due to how his knees work and butt slides just aren't possible for him. James is just lagging behind the rest. I didn't think you could use Liara on Menae... she returns to the ship to see what Joker's is going on about (to enable Garrus to come onto the squad) and I`ve never spotted an option to send James instead. I did always find it a little strange though that she appears to not actually find out anything about the problem onboard the ship. Everything goes offline anyway and it's up to Joker and Traynor to get Shepard down to Deck 3. Liara is just standing in her lab... la la la... like nothing had been going on that caused her to abandon a mission midstream.

Try playing ME3 with Garrus dead. With him dead in ME2, Liara will have nearly the same dialogue as Garrus on Menae and be with James and Shepard to locate Victus

OK, I forgot about that particular situation. Your video link is working for me, BTW. (Hosting issues, I guess.)

Because it was a broken enemy AI that was shot and rendered inactive. Well, you hope it's dead. I was thinking, I'd put it somewhere else on the off chance that it wasn't dead and instead had a powerful AI inside that might try to take over the ship - which it kind of did try once EDI reactivated it.

Well depends on what you mean by try to take over ship. Take over as in cyber-warfare with EDI location is pretty irrelevant to that because if EDI can access her then she can access it. If take over you mean physical damage while EDI could be damaged or even killed the Normandy it self was designed to be operational with no input from EDI. And assuming the Alliance are better at repelling an aggressive attacker then Cerberus troops were the damage would be minimized.

By taking over, I mean the Normandy, since we know the Dr. Core AI attacked the ship's systems. That's why the power on the ship was affected.

In that case then Eva's body could still have been on Mars and EDI in orbit and the same problems would have happened. Location of the body in that case is pretty irrelevant because no access connection is ever truly one way.

I think I've watched this before and he's got a lot of good points (love the Gaming Sins and Cinema Sins because they're fairly lighthearted). However, he was wrong pretty early on when wondering how Shepard "maintained gravity" on the wrecked SR1. Shepard used grav boots. I thought it was obvious.

It made Cerberus more powerful than they ought to have been and opened the door for them having unlimited resources in ME3. So, yeah, it was flawed, but I didn't hate it or ME3.

I think it's just for twists of humor, but he did made some very good points about Shepard's death is inconsistent on the beginning of the 2nd game. I wonder why they didn't set it up on the end of the first game? Mass Effect 2 lends itself to the theory that the developers were either writing the trilogy's story at the seat of their pants or had to change it for whatever reason. There is a significant amount of story elements that are introduced, changed or dropped over the course of the trilogy. Dark energy is one such element that is alluded to both by Tali on Haestrom and by Gianna Parasini on Illium. It is gone by the next game. As for Shepard's temporary death, I'm of the thinking that it was simply a way to add a time skip that did not need to include Shepard, could excuse new mechanics as new technology and could allow for the squadmate development. I'm also partial to the thought that Shepard dying might have prompted the change that Cerberus saw come Mass Effect 2. to without needing to account for Shepard. A resurrection was warranted and so the writers used a pre-established organization that was shady and changed it to an organization that was capable of procuring the funding necessary for reviving the dead and was amoral enough to be willing to conduct experiments to reach viable research. To be honest, I think it'd have been better to stick Shepard in a coma as the resurrection plot added problems like the lack of gravity Shepard's death treated with especially by Shepard themselves. Prime roleplaying material but nope. That's not even going into the other problems it adds from a story perspective: Shepard dies but seemingly comes back from the dead and aided by a terrorist organization known for conducting horrific experiments? Yeah, sure, that must be the real Shepard come back from the dead and not a clone that may be brainwashed or have other unpleasant secret implemented.

I enjoy Mass Effect 2 and I love Mass Effect 2 but I'm of the opinion that it is terrible from a story perspective when viewed as a part of a trilogy and hat it did harm to the overall story due to not being the bridge the beginning and end of the story needed. It's basically filler with the plot of the game being inconsequential.

ME2 is great as standalone. But I hate how the rest of the series tried to compensate for its failure to address its continuity.
But to most people, ME2 is the gold standard and PERFECT..... which it really isn't.

The Mako, or at least the way it ends up on planet. Dropping a tank from a starship in flight just seems to bizarre. I still prefer it over the Hammerhead (which seems to have been made from tissue paper) or the Kodiak (which you can't "play") but it's execution is strange. Seems like it ought to have limited flight capacity for drop offs.

Ashley becoming a spector. Shepard with more accomplishments in the Military as well as being a N7 and a top performing one, basically needed to prove that Saren was a threat to the galaxy in order to become a spector. Williams to my knowledge was never a N7, other than being a part of Shepards crew during ME1, hasn't really in her career with the alliance on her own accomplished anything above and beyond the call of duty, but somehow gets accepted into the spectors from the same citadel council that was once reluctant to appoint Shepard. Not to mention be appointed while still in the hospital recovering from injuries, there had to be a more accomplished and healthier N7 in the alliance that Udina could've push to become humanities second Spector.
