I heard someone just cut out the whole starkid thing, and went straight from Shepard and Anderson sitting watching Earth, to Reapers going boom. The end. Does Shepard live? Up to you. The galaxy is free to rebuild.

Apparently there was another ending planned that for some inconcievable reason got shafted: Here's the link (http://www.oxm.co.uk/39736/revealed-the-mass-effect-3-ending-bioware-canned-before-release/) because I can't sum it up here. Sounded pretty damn good though.
