* Throughout Mass Effect 3, I was kinda weirded out by how jolly Wrex was. It was a far cry from the cynical, grouchy old Krogan I knew from Mass Effect 1. But then I remembered why Wrex was so cynical and bitter in ME1; the genophage. The Krogan were slowly dying out, and even worse, they didn't seem to care. By ME1, Wrex had basically [[DespairEventHorizon given up]] on the notion that his species could be saved. Fast-forward to ME3, and you'll find a significantly happier Wrex. Why? Because circumstances have changed to the point where not only is a genophage cure plausible, but the Krogan race is finally ready to cut the tribalistic crap and actually fight for something that's legitimately worth fighting for; a future. That's why Wrex is so much cheerier in ME3 than he was in ME1; by the third game, he had something that he never thought he'd have again; [[WorthLivingFor a future that he can genuinely look forward to.]]

** Even if they do successfully create a fake, the fact is that Shepard's allies also have Rachni among them. While they don't go out into battle, they could educate the others on Ravager biology, leading to more efficient ways to kill them. (Of course, there is also the possibility that the rest of the galaxy might turn this knowledge against them, but they're demonstrating good will by helping.)

** I consider it YMMV. The Citadel was supposed to be shortcut #1, which Sovereign was supposed to handle. If the other Fridge Logics are right, the Human Reaper was to be his replacement. But if they had a shortcut #2 (Bahak), why didn't they use it earlier? They wouldn't have to abduct entire populations just to enter the system and really, would activating it have taken much longer than building a brand new Reaper?

** Alternatively, Shepard survives (like he/she always does somehow), but the smugglers manage to destroy at least a good number of the goods before Shepard can get his/her hands on it. In other words, Shepard and squad traveled all that way, used all that fuel, risked their lives, used all that ammo, and wasted all that time for a reward that wouldn't have covered the expenses. Maybe a little too passive-aggressive for Aria, but I can see her having a good laugh if that's what happens.

*** It's also pretty much outright stated in MassEffect3 that all revealing the evidence really did was divide the fleet, disgrace a man's memory, and nothing else- Xen still has no problem using the research to create a geth-killing weapon regardless of whether or not the information was revealed, because she still has the support of the majority of the Admiralty Board... so Tali was right.

** Okay this entire argument - the whole thing - is really brilliant, but it bothers me because the races we see ''aren't'' homogenized. Asari, Turians, and especially Salarians and Krogan have quite a wide variety of skin tones, facial structures, eye color, etc. Obviously we can't make judgments about the Quarians or the Volus. Just compare Mordin with Kirrahe, Garrus with Nihlus, or Liara with Aethyta ([[spoiler: even more striking since they're related]]). This is also true of the three Drell we meet - Thane, Kolyat and the guy from Shadow Broker whose name I can't remember - they all look very different from each other. Even the Batarians have a little variety in colour. It's only the Hanar and the Elcor that really don't. Then again, this could be a psychological thing. The reason why we look at the asari and think "they all look the same!" is because we're immediately struck by the fact that their skin is blue and they have tentacles for hair. In a way, that's all we see. But look closer and you'll realize they have skin tones from light blue to dark purple, and they all have different facial markings and eye colour. Of course, this whole argument is thrown out of whack by the fact that Mordin points out humans ''do'' have the greatest genetic diversity of any species - however, that doesn't mean the other species are completely homogenized either, something Mordin also mentions.
