It's still terrible. Maybe more bearably so. They completely avoid the Indoctrination Theory, as expected, so every solution they offer is either retarded or opens up more questions than it answers. Your squad end up on the Normandy because the Normandy now flies into the middle of no-man's land, picks them up (with a conversation beforehand) and leaves, without getting lasered! Oh, and Hackett now acknowledges that someone has made it to the Citadel.

There's still no explanation for Anderson reaching the control room before you, or why you have infinite pistol ammo, or why you can't shoot the keepers and everyone looks the same, or why you're bleeding where you've shot Anderson. There's no footage of your war assets at work, just a bit more showing off the Crucible and the entire fleet. The Normandy crashes because everyone fled through the relay to a rendezvous point, but the Normandy was a bit late because Joker didn't want to leave Shepard. And it's explained that all the stuff that's broken - mass relays, various technology - can eventually be fixed. Not the AIs though; they're still totally fried.

So the Normandy still ends up on the garden planet, but then you see a ceremony for Shepard, Anderson and the others, before it takes off. You also see the fleet headed somewhere (who knows where, considering that it'd take years to get to another system), and Hackett gives a nice voiceover performance bigging up the galaxy's achievements while you see shots of races celebrating on other planets. Which is all well and good, but the big points of contention are still contended. Very little has been genuinely rectified. Shepard still lives in the destruction ending, and the whole thing still makes very little fucking sense.
