Space magic is mostly a joke, because space magic is used to Destroy, Control or Synthesize with the reapers.
The reason why I disliked the relays exploding in the original ending, is because it left a dire issue at hand that wasnt even expanded on by the ending, something that has been addressed now.
As it was, the original ending had the relays exploding with the possibility of getting rebuilt, but the logistics of it would have crippled the galactic community for thousands of years.
i think we might be starting to get our thoughts confused, I am talking about the retcons that address some issues that the original ending left unanswered, just to be clear.
I understand your view on the Relays explode/disabled- retcon, as to be honest, I had forgotten that they actually exploded to pieces.
I like open endings in general, I did not have a problem with it left unaddressed however; I realized that it would take a long, long time, but I felt content with creating a world with a future. To me it would be fine if the repairs would take thousands of years.
I'm just in a difficult position here, as I personally thought that the endings were fine, and so many people said that they were absolutely horrible. I kind of mistook you for another raging lunatic who was extremely upset that the ending was not to his taste. For this I apologize.
About this whole ending- debacle, what has bothered me, and gets me on the edge in many of these discussions, is that in many cases people seem to claim that it is bad writing that the story does not fulfill their personal tastes. And to me, the endings were different enough.
