Let these memes be the emergency induction port your mind needs until N7 day news.

My first Commander Shepard was a Paragon FemShep infiltrator, who saved the Krogans, mediated between the Quarians and Geth, let the Rachni queen live, romanced Liara, and combined synthetic and organic life throughout the galaxy. Her name was Jillian Shepard, and I never knew I could miss a video game character before I played her. There's no other protagonist who can even come close to what Commander Shepard is for Mass Effect fans. Each player has their own version, but the result is the same - a borderline cult following of gamers who absolutely adore these games.

But this intense adoration is what makes me fear any "Mass Effect 5" on the horizon, or the imminent TV show. I wrote about the Mass Effect TV show here, so you can click if you want to read, but the gist of it is that I'm upset it's not going to be an adaptation (also worth mentioning it was written before I knew it was going to be set after the original trilogy). I'm willing to swallow a lot given I get a well-made product, which Mass Effect 1-3 already proved to be. I just inherently don't trust the game-to-TV pipeline, because it tends to flop. And that's the last thing I want to happen to yet another Mass Effect installment.

So while we all sit more or less patiently until the ever-nearing N7 day and the news that it'll hold, I bring you some memes to turn your mind off - just like pressing play on the movie of Blasto, the first Hanar Spectre.
