Brooding Monolouge: Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is!

All I actually want from a Mass Effect tv series is an in universe behind the scenes about the production of Elcor Hamlet.

I'm playing through the Mass Effect games for the first time, and I never expected my love of classic literature to overlap with a science fiction, far future, RPG style video game:

Something about an Elcor referring to anyone as "a fellow of infinite jest" is just perfect. Also the "insincere endorsement" at the end. (Every advertisement at the Citadel in ME2 is hilarious to be fair.)

Francis Kitt adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set during the First Contact War that gets banned on Palavan for being anti-military propoganda

Garrus watches it out of curiosity and wakes Shepard up in the middle of the night in tears to make her promise never to fake her death without telling him first

It’s canon, Jaal thinks the elcor did Hamlet better than humans

[sluttyquarantinetheory]

So one of the Elcor hamlet things that's cited in elevator news in Mass Effect is "a chance to judge hamlet by his deeds and not his emotions."

That alone is such a hilarious concept because everything Hamlet does is just a fuck up.

20 hours in. We have just killed Liara's mom. Im still waiting on the cast to interact in ways that dont involve an elevator loading screen. Its also becoming somewhat obvious that Liara is the Shadowheart of the game (by which i mean, the partymember who is secretly the real story protagonist) as far as the chemistry at the twenty hour point is concerned... At this point, im mostly playing because i want to see the Elcor Hamlet rendition in the third game.
