i was all geared up to find out why the collectors needed so many humans. i found a pile of corpses on the ship and was HMM EXPERIMENTS HMM perhaps they are using only small bits of humans for something, like the little bones in our ears
then i find they're just liquefying them wholescale, which is contrary to anything special about humanity. boil us down and you get a soup just like any other species would make
THEN i find out it's to make this kind of reaper baby and it was like WOW all that seriousness for THAT? LAME.
then legion being the helpful repository of story info that he is enlightens me about sovereign's "we are each a nation" thing
so now i'm thinking they don't want the genetic soup
they put the colonists into these special chambers to upload their consciousnesses. when that's complete, flush the fleshy bits by souping them. notice how those still being "copied" were very much out of it. it's only when the process is done that they wake up and AAGGGHH ensues
this is all conjecture at this point, but it's the only way i can make myself feel better about ME2's ending
so here's hoping i'm right

Space flu girl and the prize, maybe, but Jack is definitely improved by her romance. Prior to romance, Tali and Jacob are still okay, but Jack is just an antisocial jerk.

yeah but you don't need such a huge number of humans for your soup to contain all the GENETIC diversity you need
that's not how genetics works, a genome contains a huge number of base pairs, but the difference between individuals is relatively minor
if the difference was any larger they couldn't call it the human genome since we share the majority of our genes with other primates
i think it's consciousness-based, it's the only way that explains why they need so many

We've been over this. You can't keep it because it is obviously a Reaper trap in waiting. Just like everything the Reapers make is a trap in waiting.
That's just how they role, they booby trap everything and just wait for some unsuspecting person to come across it.
Secret technology. Booby trapped.
Ancient artifacts. Booby trapped.
Get Well Soon cards. Booby trapped.
Not only that, but Cerberus = The Keystone Kops of outer space. They bumblefuck EVERYTHING they do, with the exception of the Lazarus project.
Lazarus was a bumblefuck too, only reason it wasn't a total loss is because Shepard is too awesome to die to mechs.
...Thinking about it, has there been a SINGLE cerberus project where the facility they were working in didn't end up fucked?
Teltin facility got Jack'd, Lazarus got Mech'd, ME1 places got Shep'd, and I can't recall any others.

It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

it is very possible that consciousness is a part of the process, but you're missing the simple fact that they need a lot of soup because reapers are really big
though they could have used clones

human reaper was lame. I got scolded at the time most were beating it , because I didn't think it was dark enough due to what preceded it.
Granted I didn't think it was dark enough in presentation , and I thought the whole thing was silly. I mean "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" is pretty damn dark in concept but that doesn't stop it from being silly as hell.
A giant Skeleton being filled with human playdo with giant syringes is goofy.
I mean don't get me wrong the idea of people being ground up and such is disturbing. But the end result being something akin to playdo and being put into giant syringes and being forced into the Terminator O_O bleh
I say humans are more genetically diverse because we are a younger, more primitive race compared to the the rest of the species.
Our forks are still wide and varried, while the older races have narrowed and closed.
this doesn't make a lick of sense
He means the olders races hads more of the incest.
....I think?
I think they've stagnated from years of space travel and enviromental engineering. Nothing to adapt to, to force change.

Of course, the problem is that lack of natural selection (well, reduced importance of) tends to increase diversity because the marginal specimens are now fit enough to survive and reproduce...see also the human species circa right now.

No, that's bad example for any children who might be browsing the forums.
Notice how the best ME2 characters are not romanceable.
I don't know.
I wouldn't feel right romancing Kasumi given her loyalty mission.
That being said, if ME2 has shown us anything, if enough people demand it...it will be forced down our throats.
@-Tal: Tal, no matter how much you beg, you're never going to get your Illusive Man romance.
Tali and Jacob and jack were all romanceable.
Your logic is bad
But...but...
...what if you help Kasumi get her groove back?
Well, I agree with Tali and Jack.
Jacob got an awesome music video out of the deal.
Christina Norman went out of her way to make sure she had the duties.
Jacob's nipples should have been a specific section of the ME2 credits.
anyway regarding

Reapers only eat organic humans.
No genetic engineering allowed.
The Reapers are just ancient space foodies.
Exactly. They shop at Whole Species.

granted I was mighty serious after I saw

Especially with the one controlled collector saying "I will harm you if I have to , Shepard" or something along those lines.
