I read a pretty kickass interview with one of the writers... I wanna say Patrick Weekes? Anyway, he summed up his thoughts on what the lyrics to ME1's ending meant to him, while encouraging everyone to keep an open mind and come to their own conclusions. But anyway, for him it wasn't just a romantic love thing, but also a story of Saren's last little bit of 'turianity' hoping for Shepard to kill him.

I never wanted an origin. I was perfectly fine with what we'd been told. Didn't know everyone else was demanding an origin though, I didn't see it brought up ever. Maybe not demanded, but there's definitely a lot of people who wanted to know what the Reapers were. Because they'd be making the same accusations of bad writing and laziness if they didn't offer any reason for what exactly the Reapers are.

ZFS 04/20/12 6:44:00 PM #40:	I can believe people wanted to know about the origins of the Reapers, but it's not always a good idea to answer everything. Leaving them a mystery, with small doses of how they may have originated is better than 'here's what we are and what we do credits.' -- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it.

Leaving them a mystery, with small doses of how they may have originated is better than 'here's what we are and what we do credits.' From what I can gather, the issue is that people aren't upset that the Reapers are explained, but rather the explanation for the Reapers. If they were given a different origin, I guess people wouldn't be too upset.
