If you watch/read "The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3" - which is now available on the app store, there IS a deleted scene of the Normandy picking up the two crew members that were with you when you get blasted by the huge friggin' laser. I've no frakkin' idea why the scene was cut out, seeing as there's a clear and silly gap in narrative by having people who I had assumed died when the huge friggin' laser was fired all of a sudden step out of the Normandy

Thanks for that! It was as I thought: Bioware just cut it because of pacing and because they mistakenly assumed that it would be something people would accept.

In that case, another thing they maybe should have done is indicate how much time passes in the Citadel. There are ways to do that. Since you're playing through the Citadel part in 20 minutes, it can feel like there's not enough time even though there is.

The major flaw that I see now is that they never explicate what Normandy's plans are. All they had to do is tell us what the ship was going to do, for example if they were planning to pick up people when the ground assault was over, which appears to be the case.
