*** The red and blue star in the ME2 endings are the same star -- Anadius -- as the one in ME3. The info blurb on Cronos Station says that Anadius is a dying star that periodically shifts from red to blue luminosities and back again. We're meant to assume that the station hasn't moved, at least in the three years between the prologue of ME2 and the ending of ME3.

** During the mission it's mentioned that if the bomb were to go off it would mean war between the turians and krogan, so whatever planet busting effects it might have had were seemingly due to position rather than raw power. Cerberus digging it up made it's effects significantly lesser but also made it impossible to hide the turians' responsibility for it (likely the intended effect).

** If the krogan had come close to discovering the bomb themselves it would have been noticed by one of the factions keeping an eye on Tuchanka, most likely the STG, who would have sent in a team to remove it. There might have been some deaths but there were quieter ways to deal with the situation.

* A minor one all things considered. So, should you allow the Quarians to be destroyed, how come none of the Quarians make a run for the escape pods? Sure, the captain of the Rayya mentions that the pods have been disabled, but are we to assume that the ''entire'' Migrant Fleet has conviently faulty escape pods?

** The Geth probably shot them all. The Quarians backed the Geth into an all or nothing battle and then lost, the Quarians have proven beyond a doubt that if they're spared they'll return to try and destroy the Geth again later on. The Rannoch situation was the last chance for both species: peace or genocide.

** There was also Liara's [[HasTwoMommies "father"]] as well. Aethyta may have watched her daughter from a distance, but she did still share feelings for Benezia even when things didn't work out and they separated, and she was willing to monitor Liara on behalf of the other Matriarchs to protect Liara from what would've happened otherwise had she been watched by other matriarchs who had every reason to be suspicious of her and potentially assassinate her. Not to mention Aethyta also voices how protective she still is of her daughter ("Nobody messes with my girl"). In one of their talks, Liara even tells Aethyta she's the best father a girl could wish for.

** It's not just because of the power difference that Kaidan doesn't get a retrofit. The surgery itself is ''extremely'' high risk. "One wrong slip of the knife and you can't remember your own name." He just doesn't think it's worth the risk when he's so comparatively lucky. [=L2=] to [=L3=] retrofits would also be handled by an offshoot of Conatix, and Kaidan refuses to go near them because he rightfully blames them for the whole [=BAaT=] fiasco. We don't know if the same is true of upgrading to an [=L5=], but we also don't know that it's not.

** Well, the [[WatsonianVsDoylist Doylist]] reason is one you touched on: he's an avatar of Shepard's SurvivorsGuilt and the weight of responsibility they carry. So every time Shepard isn't able to save an innocent, the child gives the player an easy visual shorthand for Shepard's guilt. The Watsonian reason could be because there was no child, Shepard is hallucinating from stress and, again, guilt at all the deaths they couldn't prevent.

* In ME2 and afterward, human biotics are fitted with L5 implants, including Biotic Shepard, who started as an L3. Why didn't Kaidan, an L2, ever get retrofitted? In ME1 he says it's because he thinks the L2, while less stable than the L3, gives him more power. But the L5 implants offer a significant power boost without sacrificing stability, so why does Kaidan still insist on sticking with an implant that gives him constant migraines?

** Its possible he's simply more familiar with the L2. Another possibility is that he doesn't want to go under the knife for the surgery needed to get the L5 installed. Remember that while Shepard was refitted with a L5, it was after they were literally reassembled from charred bone and flesh by Cerberus. Kaidan might not want to go through the surgical trauma of a marginal upgrade when he thinks that his older L2 is fine and he's familiar with its operations. Changing his implants would also mean rotating off of duty to recuperate, and he might not feel like he can afford to rotate off of duty with all the dangers in the galaxy.

** Wait... if the windshield actually isn't bulletproof, then why isn't ''he'' trying to shoot through it? Kai Leng passes up an easy chance to kill Shepard (you can't dodge bullets when you're sitting down and have your seat belt on), and likewise Shepard is forced to remain entirely oblivious to opportunities to wipe out Kai Leng (such as, oh, rolling the car 90 degrees on its side or something). This scene is a classic example of IdiotPlot; ''everybody'' in it has to conspicuously act against their interests just to have the sequence of events exist at all.
