Could you explain to me why you're appalled by the Synthesis ending? Maybe I have a twisted sense of reality, but I thought it was a decent "neutral" choice for what the ending as a whole was.
Go back and reread some of my posts in this very thread. I've explained it a dozen times I'm sure.
You turn your "family" and friends, let alone all sentient life at your technology level, into the Borg.
While we're on that. Since when would the reapers just live alongside some newly formed electronic version of organics. The whole point of the reapers "synthesis" of life was to create new reapers. There's no attempt at trying to understand this story anymore, it's all just baloney.
Agreed 100%. The synthesis ending never has made any sense and it's the one ending that can't be reconciled with the others for meaningful sequels. I hate everything about it.
