Making Sense of the Mass Effect 3 Ending

MANY MANY SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!




Apparently a whole theory has sprung up on the Internet to explain exactly why the Mass Effect 3 ending is illogical and irrational. Its called the "Indoctrination Theory" and for those who do not have time to watch both videos the basic thrust is this: Shepard, through long and varied contacts with Reaper technology, has been suffering from the effect of Indoctrination much like Saren was. Thus the ME3 ending where Shepard takes a breath at the very end of the video is the real one. The entire episode after the Harbinger's beam hit was all in Shepard's head. A battle of wills between our intrepid hero and the influence of the Reapers. This would also mean that I was right; the TRUE ending is coming in DLC....

Videos presenting the Theory and arguments for and against it are embedded below.
