You know what sucks? I played ME2 the first time through and almost everybody died. I went back to an older save, and everybody survived. Then, I started the game from scratch with my boosted stats on the hardest setting. Miranda died because I didn't take her side during an argument (WTF?). Now, with ME3 coming out, I have to decide whether I want Miranda's death to carry over or not. I don't have the time to replay the game a third time before ME3 comes out.

My only hope is if I have an old save close to the end of the game and that my other characters can keep Miranda alive--or bring her with me (but she sucks!) to fight the final boss.

No no no no no. You have everyone else's loyalty, right? THey're loyal?

Leave Miranda to hold the line. Send Mordin back to the ship. Take Tali and Kasumi with you to fight hte final boss, since their modifiers for holding hte line as so low it's almost comical. Bringing a non-loyal person with you to fight the baby Reaper will get them killed. As long as your strongest people are holding the line, they'll be able to compensate for Miranda being terrible. Trust me! This is worth trusting me over.

Everyone was loyal, I think.  I know that on one of my playthroughs, Zaed wasn't loyal because I chose to save some lives instead of killing his target--but he's never died.  Hope it's not my insane mode playthrough!  Anyway, I do have Miranda go to hold the line.  I think I bring Jack and Jacob but I can't remember.  Whenever we go back to the ship, poor Miranda is always dead.  I'll change up my tactics since I have a week off from work.  Sometime before the game launches, I'll get the right combination.  I'll try your recomendations first!
