[Finale Spoiler] Finale discussion

Oh yes i remembered...yeah yeah i get it

You should have talked to people on the Hyperion more. If you talk to Horner at the right time, he tells you he did a scan, and Tychus has a kill switch in his suit. If he disobeyed Mengsk, he would be killed.

Actually, that one's un-skippable! It's an automatic post-mission 'briefing' after they first get their hands on the Odin.

[Pandonetho]

If you talk to Tosh after every mission involving Tychus in some way he'll tell you that Tychus is struggling to make a choice. To have to do something that 'he dunt wanna do'.

I'm surprised, Tosh said he couldn't read Tychus' mind completely, I wonder why. Was it a psi screen built into the suit?

[Roland]

There's no real evidence for this, but if Tychus didn't have psi-screen in his suit, he may have been a "sleeper" resoc. I'm fairly certain sleeper resocs aren't even really aware of their objective, except on a subconscious level. So Tychus would be snooping for Kerrigan, without being sure why, and Tosh would know something is up with him, but again, not sure what. We saw it in the SC comic. Brainwashing which only lurks in people's subconscious, until it is triggered, and they do as their brainwasher's say. It is possible to resist however, so the kill switch in his suit may have been a failsafe. Second, a psi-screen is probably detectable, Tosh would know Tychus was using one. Third, Tychus being unaware of Raynor's gun, and hesitation to shoot may be a side effect.

That's speculation, but it's an alternative to a psi-screen.

[Pandonetho]

No, the psi screen is not detectable to my knowledge.

Zamara didn't know Ethan Stewert was using a psi screen when Jake first met him.

I agree with those who said Infested Kerrigan and Human Kerrigan are 2 different identities. When she is infested in the end of the last mission before you use the plasma you can hear someone say something like "don't give up jim" I believe it was human Kerrigan. If that is the case, then I'm guessing Human Kerrigan is trapped inside of Infested Kerrigan but has no control over Infested Kerrigans actions.

I'm looking forward to the next expansion, this story wasn't horrible but it didn't blow my mind either. I really wanted to see Mengsk get owned.

[Spartan13]

Dont give up hope yet

[Blazur]

That ending was a major letdown for me

[Noctis]

The ending made me mad with rage...because i wanted MORE!

Kerrigan is, im betting, somekind of Hybrid now you could say almost a Xel'Naga? (I did say maybe she'll be the matriarch of the new generation).

Obviously, Kerrigan needs to control the Zerg otherwise the Hybrids/Darkness get them - this also opens the door for the protoss and zerg to merge. If kerrigan is the one guiding them she can bring the 2 together.

I'm actually happy with this - she's not human and yet she isn't a crazy bitch.

[Calnos]

The first time I saw the ending cinematic, I was left a little confused. Don't get me wrong, its a BEAUTIFUL cinematic and I have nothing against Kerrigan being de-infested in of itself. Just with the Zeratul plot and the fact we know Kerrigan is the star of the Zerg expansion (Who else would we play as? The Overmind?...actually that'd be awesome, but beside the point), it seems to ruin the point a little.

The more I think about it and watch it though, the more I like it and think its a fitting end for the first chapter. Metzen has stated that he feels the "heart" of the StarCraft story is Raynor and Kerrigan, and this was obviously a big Raynor/Kerrigan moment. If anything this makes me even more curious about what will happen in Heart of the Swarm.

As for Tychus, I was expecting the betrayal but I wasn't expecting him to pull the trigger or even die (especially since Blizzard hyped him up to be an "iconic" character). To me it did seem he regretted making his deal with Mengsk in the end, but oh well...so long Mr. Findley, you crazy, gun-happy mother-fudger you.
