I'm not sure why some people think it's such a great idea to recruit a serial murder/rapist into part of the 'team'.
I have never not been able to kill dat hoe.
Most of the squad is technically comprised of serial murderers; Tali, Legion, Grunt and Kasumi are about the only ones who arguably aren't. In Grunt's case its literally because he's born during the game.
Just based on what we know/see in the games
Garrus- His time on Omega alone should speak for this
Mordin- Genophage revisions, his time on Omega
Zaeed- Works as a merc and has... flexible standards in employers
Miranda- Works for Cerberus, straight up murders Wilson
Jacob- Works for Cerberus, kills a lot of random people in the cell phone tie in
Samara- Literally murders people extra-judicially for a living
Jack- Has several murders on her record
Thane- ... is an assassin
Now, all of them are more sane and less predatory (with the possible exception of Zaeed) but you've got a squad of killers through and through.

Well, Mordin it was all, if I remember right, either self defense or in service of country. So, another possible exception depending on definitions.
I think Morinth's proposition was a test to see how many people would do something honestly stupid.
With recruiting Morinth in the first place already being pretty dumb.
That's true, I forgot about that one because wow that's dumb. At least it's post-game only, right? So there's at least a little padding and it's heavily messaged that it's a super dumb thing to do. TW2 has multiple scenes like the one in the tags, and they can be very humbling, like getting slaughtered by redneck guards.
At some point I will recruit Morinth, just to see if Dominate is a decent bonus talent.
It's great fun, at minimum.
Of course, you don't have to, you know, keep the save for any length of time.
Just choose Morinth, quick save, and reload.
That's actually what I meant. I'd never dump Samara, come on. Although if Morinth wore actual fucking clothes as opposed to Samara's Tits McGee, I'd seriously consider it. Did no one at Bioware realize how horrible that looks? At first glance, it's just kooky, but after that it's damn unprofessional, and not in a subtle (ish) way like Miranda's catsuit.
I hoped Morinth would wear what she has in Samara's loyalty and in her cabin. But no, for all the missions she has the same terrible outfit Samara wears.

I just think she's a more interesting character than Samara...I'd rather see her in ME3. And I never thought she was a serious threat to Shepard or anything.
@plush yeah, but they are telegraphed ahead of time as being REALLY GODDAMN STUPID decisions
I was caught totally offguard by the...uh, guard. I had seen the popup before on first playthrough at ye olde brothel, so I remembered the 'bribe failed!' response and thinking 'hm, bribe you say' and trying to get off by paying 90 gold.
Geralt: Not on your life. *charge*
I never actually knew about the Iorveth one until I searched for the guard one on youtube just tonight, because I never sass back at someone who has my pal and I surrounded by archers.
Also there's a bad end waaaaaaaaaay before that in the Witcher 2, if you try and attack Roche in the interrogation room you get a crossbow bolt in your back courtesy of Vess.
"Just another prisoner shot while trying to escape." Love it.

She's an unstable sociopathic murderer/rapist, what isn't threatening about this? If she doesn't kill you, there's every chance she'll murder one of your crew members. Her condition includes an inability to resist the urge to kill for too long.
With Samara you have, at worst, someone who might turn on you but also has an instruction manual for manipulating her. See Nihlus' encounter with her.
With Morinth, you have an unpredictable fucking lunatic who gets off ON MURDERING PEOPLE. There's...really no compelling reason to get Samara killed for this chick.

The biggest problem with Morinth is that recruiting her doesn't lead to you overhearing about crew members being missing when you leave different spaceports.

I don't like to think of that as a gaping plot hole.
I like to think that's Morinth's way of telepathically blocking the ability to gossip and think freely about the shenanigans going on around the ship.
Agreeing with a lot of people though, there's no real reason to morally justify having her on your team outside "I wanted to have her on my team just once". Personally, I couldn't find it in my heart to forgive her after what she did to that innocent albeit rebellious girl you're forced to investigate early in that particular quest.
That still doesn't want me from having a three-way with her and Aria. Just got to make a mental note to shoot them both in the head when I'm done.
Morinth just needs to hook up to a nervous system for a quickie to kill someone, right? Even Shepard went down in a few seconds? Reapers have nerves somewhere, right?

Do we know if Reapers even have a "nervous system" in a way we understand?
Also I don't think that would work, for the same reason that Tali, as good as she is, would not be capable of using AI hacking on a Reaper.

They're a collection of programs like the geth. So unless she can get freaky with Legion, I'm thinking this is a lost cause.

Exactly. She's way more fun!
The only crew member I can really see her killing is Kelly, and honestly the Normandy would probably be safer without that walking STD factory.

You don't talk about my Kelly like that. That's my secret bedroom name for her, and mine alone.

Wild supposition for the third game: Whatever is causing the star at Haelstrom to die will be the key to defeating the reapers. (Sorry if similar theories have already been discussed at length, I don't think I've read the *entire* thread).

I'm finally slowly working my way through the various DLC and am enjoying what I've seen so farn namely Kasumi and Shadow Broker. I am a little bit irritated by the surveying information you get from SB, though - I cant find anyway to clear the galaxy map markers for resource-rich planets, which in some places create blocks of text that block other parts of the map. Still, good stuff - I feel dumb for leaving this stuff aside so long. Does LotSB have different dialogue options if you do it prior to finishing the suicide mission?

Liara's dialog is different, and I think a few other small tweaks occur. In general I reccomend doing the Campaign, then LotSB, and then Arrival.
I recommend Shadow Broker as early as possible if you want free credits/upgrades/resources, there aren't that many changes and there are massive mechanical benefits.
I've never seen such a unanimous interpretation of a character
She is creepily into Garrus' scars, and thinks Thane is attractive at least. I'm pretty sure at some point she implies she has/wants to have sex with a Turian at the very least.

Oh MAN, I always wondered whether that was an accident between separate writers or whether they intended to make Kelly seem so...much like she seems. Now I know.

Totally unintentional! And as I tell him, my completely innocent line would never have been linked to Miss Chambers had he not written her in such a way as to invite the comparison.

on the other hand I wouldn't put it above Mordin just to screw with you while he watches youtube
