At the end of Zaeed's mission, I thought it was a spent thermal-clip that he ejected into the gasoline. In fact, I'll stick by that, because I think it makes that scene cooler if it was an ejected clip, and not an actual grenade.

That is not surprising at all because Mordin is awesome. Who else could belt out a Gilbert and Sullivan tune and get away with it?

And as for all the "why doesn't Cerberus fix Joker" stuff, how 'bout this: They spent 4 billion credits to resurrect Sheperd because a dead Sheperd can't do anything. A weak-boned Joker can still fly a ship, and that's all Cerberus needs Joker for, so why would they spend millions/billions of credits to fix up Joker if they just need him to fly a ship?

Though, I must admit, I am curious to see if ME3 will carry over save files from games where Sheperd dies. I mean, let's face it, Joker may be an amusing character, but in the game fiction, if he showed up and said "ZOMG THE REAPERS ARE COMING!", he'd be laughed off the stage. Heck, Sheperd is a freakin' galaxy-wide hero and no one believes him when he says the reapers are still a threat, no way Joker can convince people.

It will be interesting to see what BioWare does with those save files...if anything. Though, from what I've seen, you have to try pretty hard to get it so Sheperd doesn't survive.

Azisien can secretly fly, but doesn't, because it would make everyone else feel bad that they can't.

I think, considering the ball-bustingly fantastic use of ME1 save games, the ME3 save game use will be good, if not better. But we can only speculate how far they'll take it! This game was clearly modelled heavily on consequences, so I'm eagerly awaiting big things. I'm also curious what other DLCs will pop up.

And Mordin is awesome indeed. From a character point of view (love those sentence fragment salarians), but also a combat point of view. Maxed out inferno grenade is the best ability I came across while playing. Huge organic damage and very fast cooldown.

Honestly I thought the "grenade" thing in the power title was simplification and his actual ability involved overloading spent clips or something, as that's what the cutscene led me to believe.
