** Six calls Legion out on this, since it's an inverted case for him- he's talking to an alien robot from another dimension made of thousands of "people," so to him Reapers aren't that strange in comparison.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Shepard's summation about Biotics for the UNSC. While yes, they can change the flow of battle dramatically, it relies on a substance that only the ''Normandy'' can acquire, it's impossible to give them to an adult, and the only option they have for creating them (in-utero exposure to Element Zero) would take far too long to get them the army of Biotics they'd desire. This is especially important since according to the Joint Chiefs, the Covenant is ''very'' close to winning the war.

** It appears that UNSC Coolant is more effective than the stuff the Normandy usually uses, which allows them to remain in stealth longer.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When showing off the weapons and tech of the Mass Effect universe, Jacob shows off the M-920 Cain... and the base practically shuts down because of how ''huge'' the explosion is, since (as he was hoping to keep it a surprise) Jacob didn't tell anyone about the weapon's effects beforehand, and a gigantic explosion in the middle of a military base is typically a sign things have gone very, very wrong.

It takes several officers a few minutes to explain that no, it was just a test, everything is okay, before the alarms are turned off.
** Grunt, a tank-born Krogan designed to be the Perfect Warrior, has his issues with seeing things through the lens of a ProudWarriorRaceGuy... but even he sees the Brutes as dishonorable and "worthy of killing." He takes pleasure from fighting them, but he hates them personally from the data pad that Miranda offers him. Once he does get up close and personal with them, he has a new complaint- they apparently smell bad, too.

* RealityIsUnrealistic: While the ''Normandy'' and her crew have ample doses of PlotArmor during the fight with the Covenant Battlecruiser, the biggest gripe has been how the ship is able to endure being blasted with plasma despite only having shields that protect against physical attacks. All well and dandy, except that, in space, Kinetic Barriers ''would'' utterly trounce plasma weapons, as plasma is still a form of matter and could be repelled with kinetic barriers. And as those would keep the plasma away from the heat conducting hull of the ''Normandy'' and without access to an atmosphere to absorb the heat via convection, the plasma would be neutralized as a weapon, as it would have to rely on heat radiation to damage the ''Normandy'' - which is ''extremely'' inefficient.

Further, the Normandy is specifically designed to absorb heat effectively- that's how its stealth system works, after all.
