Now if she were to somehow assimilate some protoss DNA...well now, then we'd have a being with Zerg, Terran AND Protoss DNA opening a can of whoopass. I'd love to see those Stimmed Roachlots armed with gauss rifles and shields unburrowing behind the Dark Voice's garden shed for a spot of tea 
At that point she would be Xelnaga 2.0 as they the Xelnaga 1.0 intended not the things we seen turned out of a Terran Lab but a true Xelnaga 2.0..
Be fun if she dose it as a Archon but who would be the Lucky Protoss to be assimilated.

Its makes no sense for Kerrigan to rule. Sure she has zerg hair but that isn't really something that would be killed. You probaly see zerg bones everywhere and hair is pretty much bone for the "cleansing part". Organic zerg matter was destroyed. I'm wondering about Duran and the dark voice, but who knows maybe another terran comes along and controls the zerg.

I wonder how blizzard is going to work that one out, will Tosh still be around in your campaign if you let him live, or is he going to die anyway off screen somewhere.
im hoping that blizzard will link it to your WOL account and depending on whichever choice you made in WOL it would influence the game.. its all on bnet 2.0, so it can easily be done.. would be pretty neat
other games have done this in the past too, unlocking special items if you upload a save point from an older game.

i feel like the zerg and terran are going to work together (for once) and the protoss are going to disapprove, except for zeratul ofc - this is gonna be a bunch of drama... and then the hybrids/dark voice will come in and at the end the rest of the protoss will realize that they need the zerg to survive and then there will be another CLIFFHANGER till LOV

Her Dermal Plating Got transformed But the Hair would be left? And How about her eyes? Are they just dead tissue? Are they really something that would be not killed ? Those are Live Zerg Cells You do not even need a microscope to see them ,Heck till YOU I would say they wear Impossible to miss!
And more to the point how about the BIG POSTER that Blizzard Keeps showing of Kerrigan with her new Mutations AS A ZERG? At the convention sight.

Not only do you sound like a bully, your also WRONG.
Read the end campaign screen that says "Wings of Liberty Complete!" It clearly states "... the Queen of Blades has been restored to her ORIGINAL HUMAN FORM OF SARAH KERRIGAN." She WAS turned into a human, and she IS human.
Even if Blizzard says she is going to be zerg in the next expansion, that could just mean she is going to lead and control the zerg which would make her part of the zerg. I doubt she will become re-infested because that would negate the whole story of wings of liberty.
Blizzard said that you will play as Kerrigan in more of a RPG style of gamplay as you become stronger so you can control more zerg. There are implications that she takes on mutations to become stronger, but some of this stuff was said back in 2008 when they hadn't even finished the Wings of Liberty Campaign. I think Blizzard decide to take Kerrigan in a different direction becuase her being mutated back into a zerg just doesn't makes since after we spent a whole campaign to restore her.
The way I see it, if Kerrigan were killed the "dark voice" would have control over the zerg and use them against the terren and protoss, exactly how it was depicted in "Utter Darkness". Instead, we saved kerrigan and get to use the zerg as an ally against the "dark voice."
As far as I know, you dont need to BE a zerg to control the zerg. The terren used Psi emitter before on the confederacy to control the zerg into attacking them. Seeing as Keriggan has EXTREMELY powerful psionic ability (her ghost inhibitor is off), I bet she will be able to control the zerg in her human from.
I have a feeling though that She will be one of the people sacrificed by the end of the trilogy. Don't forget that she was a mass murderer. According to Jim Raynor, "she murdered 8 billion people." I think that she will do something during the final battle to sacrifice herself (and maybe the zerg) to both save the other races and to try and redeem herself from what she did in the past.

Kerrigan will still be the leader of the zerg. She wasn't turned into a terran. She was merely balanced between zerg and human (whereas before she was much more zerg), probably even making her more powerful.
The proof of this, without going into spoilers about how the xelnaga work, is that Blizzard has explicitly said that the next story is about Kerrigan. We also know it's about the zerg. The connection is all too obvious.
Yea... her hair was still zergified in the cinematic so that could be true~

First off, Tychus is definitely dead, its on the end screen. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VLds3.png) Also, like previously posted Heart of the Swarm is said by blizzard to focus on kerrigan, and the screen shot above even says you discover Kerrigan's fate and the rest of the zerg. They don't say raynor, they don't say mengsk's fate, they say Kerrigan and the zerg. Her connection with the zerg isn't over yet, even if she is not fully zerg anymore. I guess I'm partly in denial. I mean, part of what made the zerg so unique and made me want to play them is just how ...dark they are. They are without a doubt the "monsters" of the sc legacy. At least until this latest campaign. Think about it, you got to play as the servant of an all powerful Overmind who only cared to assimilate and destroy. Even while playing in multiplayer, am I the only one who got the shivers just from seeing the Overmind's eye in the icon screen. I guess I just don't want the zerg to become a "misunderstood" race like the orcs. I mean, are they even sentinent? I know the overmind is, but the zerg themselves? If the zerg become simply "slaves" than what does zerg really mean anymore. I myself would probably prefer a new Zerg Leader unwittingly serving the Xel Naga, and all the while destroy terran and toss and Kerrigan, who struggles with her zerg broods. As long as the zerg had remained "dark" they were epic. Even this storyline would be alright if the Overmind could really still be an evil being. Not just self-serving, but truly just.... Borg like. Maybe tricked, but slaves? Guess I was in denial. Technically though, they are the misunderstood race. I know some people who think zergs are brutal killing machines whose sole purpose is to annihilate everything. Well, that's partially true. It's not the individual zerg creatures who harbor those feelings, but the Overmind, the Cerebrates, and then Kerrigan who commands them. Without a leader to control them, they're just different strains of their peaceful ancestors. Hark back to the campaign in SC where you go around with the psi emitter picking up lost and confused zergling and hydras. That's exactly what they are. I'm sure if they're being controlled by someone nice and fluffy, they'll in turn become essentially domesticated pets.
Umm most Zerg strains use genetic material from some pretty voracious carnivores...

Guessing that due to the Xelnaga, along with Kerrigan, the Zerg will have a Zerg form or they can revert to what they once were. So they can be civilized and battle...that makes the Zerg seem so much more wussy...aww well.

My guess:
In HotS we'll see the zerg finally free from any ruling psionic entity, and to everyone's surprise they'll exhibit unparalleled levels of individuality, intelligence and creativity. The main character will be a Hydralisk who dons the name "Jerry" and explains to the galactic community that the Zerg are really quite a peaceful race, and now that they're free from both the Overmind and Kerrigan they can pursue their real interests: fashion design and live theater! All zerg units in the expansion will upgrade themselves with different colored hats and the first part of the campaign will focus around Jerry and his travelling band of misfit Zerglings trying to earn enough credits to put on the greatest show in the Koprulu Sector back on their homeworld of Char.
As the story advances, Jerry will discover the Hybrids and their dasterdly plan to re-enslave the Zerg. Unable to stop their plans, Jerry will only barely save himself and his closest friends by designing special psi-wave blocking top hots. Ultimately, Jerry will play a very small role in LotV, but if you hire him as a mercenary you'll be able to change the color of your units in the middle of a mission.

Oh God it's the Orc campaign from Warcraft 3 all over again. The only difference is that Jerry saves a few Zerg, rather than kills a lieutenant of the Dark Voice (during a cut scene) to free his brood from the Darkness.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS, DIDNT CARE TO CHECK
I'm kinda getting the feeling that The Dark Voice is the entity at KL-2 that the Xel'Naga empisoned, since the Xel'Naga wanted to create a perfect being, of form and essence, but failed two times ,and then let both races assimilate eachother to form themselves, the Dark Voice wanted as vengeance to pervert the Xel'Naga's legacy, making unnatural Zerg/Protoss hybrids to prevent the Zerg and Protoss from naturally merging into a perfect being, that's why he wanted Kerrigan dead, she wasn't bound by the overriding directive the Dark Voice planted in the Overmind's mind to assimilate and destroy the Protoss. Kerrigan used the Swarm for her own purposes, probably taking vengeance against Mengsk, get to own the Koprulu Sector, et cetera, since the Protoss and Aiur are barely even in the Sector, you'd figure that she doesn't fight them because she doesn't need to. While the Dark Voice is busy with that, I'd believe that Duran is a good Xel'Naga, he probably went on his own to another sector of this galaxy while the others got eaten by the Overmind and Zerg, after he returned from the sector he was in (probably Earth, since he was affiliated with the UED, which is from Earth.) he was what happened. In the secret mission with Zeratul in BW he probably tried to naturally merge the Protoss and Zerg, to create the perfect being - the one that IS truly perfect, instead of the perversions of the Voice in the Dark- to battle the Dark Voice. He allowed himself to be 'infested' to manipulate Kerrigan into making the right choices. In SC2 he took on the guise of Dr. Narud, leading Valerian to think he was really in charge while in reality Narud was, he noticed the pieces of the Artifact, he started collecting them, secretly guiding Valerian to unite the pieces to be able to deinfest Kerrigan. Because it would've been impossible to tell her the truth about the Xel'Naga and the Dark Voice while she was corrupted, it had a bigger chance of working while she was human, calm and in control.
P.S. on an unrelated note, Kerrigan IS fully human, with no Zerg DNA whatsoever, just screenshot the scene where you see a close up of her face and look closely at the roots of her insecthair, they are planted in her skin, probably embedded in her skull too, they'd have to surgically be removed to get rid of them, which is why she still has them.
