Ok so maybe a few planets might of survived, but do you really think shaperd would of took that chance??, its way out of charactor for him to accept the choices he was giving by that dumb star kid.

I agree with you and I don't think that the relays exploding as they did wasn't really well thought off. Now, I think the developers wanted to convey that everything related to the technology left behind by the reapers has to dissapear completely in order for the species to follow their own technological paths instead of those pre-ordained by the Reapers themselves, but the execution caused a bit of problems based on the Lore.
Then again, I've taken the time to look closely at the differences between the Alpha Relay explosion scenes, and the ending Relays explosion scenes and there are quite some differences, but there's one I think it's the most important of all. When the asteroid hits the Alpha Relay, you see it destroying the rings that support the massive Eezo core and then the core itself undergoing a massive chain reaction that culminates into the nova itself; on the contrary, in the endings, the Eezo cores of the relays don't undergo a chain reaction, but instead you see the relays powering up massively and shooting the entire content of the core into a next Relay, like they do when a ship travels through them. When the Relays finally explode, there's no Eezo core in it, which undoubtly would have caused a far smaller explosion.

I can't really dissagree with much of what you said, one cos it all pretty much sounds good and 2 cos im drunk lol xD. But the is one thing, you also see that Relay beem spreading out in a big circle as it hits each relay, now i could be wrong put id imagine that's the enargy destorying whatever isin its path at that stage, and them circles are big.

The circle that spreads out is not an explosion but the thing that destroys, synthesis's or controls the Reapers. There's no way that was the explosion because that would mean there would be no life left in the galaxy at all because those energy circles are many hundreds of thousands of times bigger than solar systems.
But to reply to your quote of me above:
Regardless of when, how, where or what a dev says they are not to be trusted when they talk about their game. It really is that simple. Are they stupid heads for saying something like that so close to launch? Definitely. But you need to let that part go because Devs lie, it's part of the gaming cycle.
Lestadark replied to the other part perfectly so I don't need to expand on that.
