In the vanilla SC, Overmind never stated he wanted to kill all the Protoss, what he wanted to do was completely natural, he just wanted to assimilate the Protoss into his own race to become perfect. Skip to 1:05 + Show Spoiler +
, and hear the Overmind's speech in the briefing, would you even be able to tell that the Overmind is being controlled by the "dark voice"? His desire to become perfect seems just so completely natural.. and the quality of the script makes me cringe at SC2's.

I don't care for Warcraft 3's revision of the Orcs being not that evil, it's fine to me. It adds a nice dimension of character to the Orcs as a race.. but making the Overmind a slave to the dark voice? That just dumbs down the character.

zeratul should bone kerrigan and make the ultimate human-zerg-protoss hybrid baby and then proceed to conquer the xel-naga :D

There's one thing I still don't understand. As is planned out, the life of Kerrigan is actually in Tychus' hands. If Arcturus, Valerian and Narud are all behind this, on what ground do they base their trust of Tychus? He may be a little bit resentful of Raynor leaving him in prison, but after all they went way back and had a lot in common. It turned out that Tychus DID screw up. As I personally understand it, Tychus intentionally gave Raynor the chance to dispose of him in Kerrigan's hive, and left the Mengsks and Narud undone.

p.s. It may be hard to believe but Arcturus seemed to know about half the dominion's fleet are out when he asked Valerian to explain it. He pretended to be surprised when he saw Raynor, too, according to what the OP says.

1. Tychus was trapped in his suit. Did he disobey the order to kill Kerrigan , he would end up dead, killed by the mechanics in his armor. As Mengsk said in the "DEAL" cinematic, his suit was his new prison.
2. Tychus gave Raynor the chance to dispose of him? When? From what i recall he actualy pulled the trigger, he wanted to kill Kerrigan. It rather seemed that he counted on Raynor letting him kill queen of blades.

WoL's plot with its retconned zerg leaves me scratching my head. I seem to recall from somewhere that the zerg gained their original freedom as well as the majority of their cognitive power because they turned on the Xel'naga and consumed the entirety of their creator race. It was through that act that the zerg learned about the protoss in the first place.
