The rest of this post is behind a cut for potential Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 spoilers. Mass Effect 2: the opening titles begin, and we are staring, frightfully close-up, at a multicolored sun. A woman who we soon learn to be Miranda is discussing Shepard... with The Illusive Man. He is the beginning and the end of this game, the would-be puppet-master pulling all the strings. Of course, he doesn't have all the strings available to him, and that's where much of the drama comes from. Your Critic is in Another Castle: The Music of Mass Effect: Part 1.

It reinforces what you know from watching and from playing, it guides your emotional response, it sets the pace and rhythm, and sometimes it's a great big black Sharpie drawing connecting lines all over the story for you, if you've the ears to hear it.

Seine Gebeine sollen in der Kathedrale von Autun liegen. Lazarus ist der Patron der Metzger, der Totengräber, Bettler, Aussätzigen und der Leprosenhäuser, wobei Elemente beider Lazarus-Figuren aufgegriffen wurden. Nach dem auferweckten Lazarus wurden der Lazarus-Effekt (Wiederauffindung von Tierarten, die als ausgestorben galten) und das Lazarus-Phänomen (in der Medizin das Phänomen einer scheinbaren Auferstehung) benannt. Der Lazarus-Orden (Militärischer und Hospitalischer Orden des Heiligen Lazarus von Jerusalem) geht vermutlich auf die Figur des armen Lazarus zurück. Aus der krankenpflegerischen Tätigkeit dieses Ordens leitet sich auch der Begriff des Lazaretts ab.
