New idea.
Since I keep saying "Mass Effect is based on Star Trek Voyager with a few pieces of other space-age fantasy thrown in", I'll say the Reapers are the 'bad' side of the Borg, and they were defeated because Janeway (Shepherd) let herself get assimilated to destroy their runtimes, but that's what Project Overlord was. They had the idea earlier to use an unsolvable and infinitely complex 3d math problem that would kill all the Borg tech, eradicating the whole species. It seems that the Reapers, like the Borg, can only learn by assimilating. I'd say an idea like the second one I said since they did the first already. The 'good' side of the Borg, or the "new collective" is the Gestalt (Legion's Geth).
But most of my hope lies in the Rachni (Zerg). The queen said 'songs the color of oily shadows' and 'sour yellow note'. If they can produce COUNTER SOUND (the art of using an opposing decibal/band to make an opposing sound impossible to percieve) then they can drown out the Reapers, nulling the indoctrination, and it'll be the Rachni singing through space, drowning out Reaper communication, instead of the opposite.
