Also the similarities involve humans finding a way to travel faster than life, colonize other worlds, then meet an enemy that wants to exterminate them.
Wait. How do you work that out?
Halo: They create FTL engines based on physics and calculations and special engines.
ME: They use Mass-Effect using Mass Relays around the galaxy.
Halo: Enemy is a giant xenophobic alien Covenant who want to exterminate them due to their teachings causing them to have to do it to keep it all together.
ME: A constant cycle of destruction by Reapers leads to extermination of all higher species per 'cycle'
Not seeing the similarities at all.

I haven't gotten that far, just general observations that seem similar.
Hypothetically, if one is presented with an opportunity to nail an attractive friend... who also happens to be one's ex-girlfriend's best friend, what does one do?

Faster than life? Holy smokes!
Also, this has to be a joke. Do you have even the faintest understanding of science fiction? There's a lot of "human tries to colonize other worlds, travels faster than LIGHT, and meets enemies that want to exterminate them."
"Guys, ME is really like Star Trek. There's a ship and a CAPTAIN. Oh, fuck, there's a crew as well. Wait, same with Battlestar Galactica! I mean, Helfer is in BOTH of those and she even plays like a robot on both of them or something! No, wait, it's really like Cameron's "Alien." There's aliens in both and some want to kill humans. I cannot believe I didn't have this massive epiphany earlier regarding tying common themes in science fiction media together and then saying they're similar when they really aren't!"
Speaking of Helfer, I would comprehensively smash that shit:

That is the best sideboob ever. I'd slam into that like Thor's hammer from orbit. Goddamn.
