So my main problem with some of the endings is that I just can't make sense of them.

A synthesis between human and machines where everyone is suddenly converted to have little green lines all over them? My suspension of disbelief just can't go that far, it's too farfetched.

I also fail to understand why the Geth and EDI die in the ending where you destroy the reapers - they are in no way connected to the catalyst so how does it destroy them?

Maybe I'm missing something...

It's because they are synthetics, the geth, EDI etc are considered to be the next step in evolution, and will likely turn on their creators - the humans & aliens, therefore the best way to stop the cycle is to destroy the synthetics, the only reason, according to the little boy the reapers came is to destroy the races and help them ascend before they descended into chaos as a result of creation of synthetics.

 The ending could have been more tied in with the options that you've picked earlier during the game, but by the looks of it, these decision can come back to haunt you either during the next iteration of Mass Effect or the DLC.

Oh I get why they were destroyed, I just don't get how.
