Also I wasn't able to use the final persuasion options on TIM. What gives? My reputation was maxed and then some. Not paragon enough?
My girlfriend had this problem and I heard a lot of other people did as well. You probably either didn't do enough sidequests or didn't talk to your squadmates enough...or something else that affects Reputation. You definitely don't need to be 100% Paragon or Renegade. I was at something like 1/3 Renegade 2/3 Paragon and I was able to do it fine. You just need max Reputation.
If you really wan tto know what happens, not much changes. TIM pulls a Saren and there's a nice scene with Anderson before he dies anyways.
