I like it. Makes sense, but I'll be damn if I'm gonna buy the 'true' ending DLC.

That theory does make a little more sense than I thought it would actually. Still very badly done if it is true though. And there is still no epilogue
I know its a cliche but at least one option should have been Reapers destroy, Shep lives, the galaxy rebuilds in a new era of peace etc.
And there should be no ending possiblity where the crew of the Normandy who would normally follow Shep to hell and back have decided to bugger off mid battle.

Cliche nothin!....It is unbelievable that this isn't even an option.
Personally, I don't mind shep dying, in fact I probably prefer it, but the overall ending needs to be much brighter imo.
You know what through out the whole game and even when I had finished. I kept asking myself what is the deal with the little kid.... That video kinda sums up what I was thinking (obviously not quite so in depth).
For a start I would never have moved the Citadel, or had the Citadel as the catalyst. Having the Citadel suddenly move to earth was far to conveniant and created a plot hole you could drive a tank through. At new point did anybody go "omg all those people on the citadel" when they would obviously have been wiped out by the Reapers. Infact it it were me I wouldnt have invented the idea of a Catalyst at all, an all in one I-WIN button smacks of a lack of vision and creativeness in the writing.
For me I'd have kept the assault on earth, the galaxy unites, a final showdown against all the odds with the mainstay of the Reaper fleet, lead of course by Harbinger. First off start with an epic space battle, Reapers wreaking havoc amongst the allied fleet, the battle is all going wrong, they're just too powerful.
In a balls out move Shepard slams the Normandy face first into Harbinger, the Normandy is ****** but remains barely intact. Shepard and the crew disembark, lets try and blow it up from the inside out. Wave after wave of little Reapers rally to try and repel the intruders, all the while you're getting updates from the battle outside. The turian line is broken, they're trying to save what little of their fleet they can... an Asari cruiser is going down, captain slams it into one of the other Reapers, etc etc.
Your party battles deeper into Harbinger, you can hear him speaking to you, taunting you, you're weak like all the other organics etc. As you go along you destroy various things that look vital, basically shooting anything that you can. You arrive at a central brain hub, you're facing an avatar of Harbinger (much like Saren was an avatar of Sovereign) you battle, its long, several stages, you hear more reports of battle outside.
You defeat the avatar of Harbinger, you confront him, conversation options about why the Reapers are doing this. Its all explained (I dont know a valid reason for this, it has to be better than what they have given us so far) - you're given an option to save earth, humans have potential, we wont complete our cull of earth if you're willing to leave Harbinger alive and abandon the rest of the galaxy to its fate. Your other option is to destroy Harbinger from the inside out, commiting humans to a battle against the Reapers with the rest of the galaxy, a battle you most likely cannot win. More conversation options, can you change the Reapers mind?
I dunno, something along those lines.
This is good-
Every single alternative ending proposed has been better than the one we got!
I was quite sad about Kelly Chambers dying, as it is quite harsh the way it is told. But now I realise that even if you save her she will only die along with everyone else on the citadel anyway! ....almost all of the sidequests are pointless, and it is all down to the last 5 minutes!

Here is another theory about the ending from the Bioware Social Network. - http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/9916510
It is totally bonkers, but on some level strangely ingenious imo. Not that I believe it for a second.
Thinking about it, if they released free dlc which confirmed the indoctrination stuff and gave a real ending it could well be the most epic thing ever!

As long as they dont make me pay for it. The ending was 'interesting' in some ways, but it did feel like April Fool came a month too early. Short, bleak, and slightly obfuscated.
I have indoctrinated myself and I am now fully dedicated to that explanation!.....
Seriously, I am worried for myself ....Could somebody with enough paragon points try and talk me down please?

This tbh, if this is biowares plan would be pretty god damm epic. Talk about a grand way to screw with peoples emotions.
Maybe, but to be honest bioware have already created a atmoshphere for it. All they need to do is crack out a DLC now with an different ending which people might like and job done.
I reckon it is real but have no sauce yet. It was texted to me by a mate of mine this morning.
I posted it here hoping that someone would have found more info (i.e redditers) as I'm at work atm.
Whilst the indoctrination theories are somewhat sound, I still can' understand how Shepard would have been indoctrinated right at the start of the game, given that he had his first 'nightmare' shortly after leaving Earth.
