Kerrigan cant be back to full humanity...
And there are people which wont accept her to be back...
The storyline can now be developed in many directions...
What I wanna know is, that there is a possiblity, that Kerrigan inherited something of the XelNaga...
There must be something or they are gonna infest her again...
The 2nd Infestation would be a Protoss (unoriginal) or again Zerg...
It has to be an missundestanding between Jim and Sarah to fully awake her fury, because the first time she wasnt capable of doing all the stuff she can (mentioned in SC1, drugs and other things held her back - overmind too)...
There must be something very special about her and I wanna know what happens next with her ;D

If there is one word to qualify Blizzard storylines, it's "predictable".
OBVIOUSLY Kerrigan will become "infested" again. They will give us a rosy/soapy melodrama about Kerrigan giving up on any chance to live happy with Jim, sacrificing her humanity to get back behind the reins of the Swarm in order to fight Duran and the Void dude.
And ultimately, either of the two Mengsk will backstab her just after she dealt a crushing blow to the Hybrids, reaping the reward of hitting two birds with one stone... blah blah.

On a related note I just rewatched saving Private Ryan. and it was so fucking stupid and PREDICTABLE.
It's a World War two movie so they start off in the most PREDICTABLE way possible, right? Attacking the Omaha beach, oh please -_- And then we meet the protagonist who, get this, starts PREDICTABLY TAKING COMMAND of the situation and inevitably is the one who PREDICTABLY leads the troops to succesfully establish a hold on the beachhead and PREDICTABLY push foreward. And as if THAT weren't PREDICTABlE enough, we then have to endure the UTTERLY cliche plot of sending EIGHT MEN to rescue this one idiot because the chief of command over at the pentagon PREDICTABLY has a guilty conscience! It's so dumb! and PREDICTABLE! But that's not even the worst part by a long shot. It inevitably ends with a PREDICTABLY small rag tag group of outgunned troops with only small arms and improvised munitions take on an invasion force of over TWICE THEIR FRIGGEN SIZE AND PREDICTABLY WIN!!!! They even had to take down at least 4 tanks, and OBVIOUSLY everyone including the protagonist ends up PREDICTABLY dying noble and heroic deaths but PREDICTABLY not that one guy they were trying to save, oh no, that shitty PREDICTABLE and talentless director STEVEN SPEILBERG is SO PREDICTABLY that it makes me wanna nerd rage!
Saving Private Ryan is so PREDICTABLE and so melodramatic that I rate it 0/10, and may god have mercy on those talentless and PREDICTABLE hacks Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and Steven Speilberg.
PREDICTABLE FFS

Personally I think WoL seems to have sort of skimmed over Brood War. The Dominion is still in power, the UED is nowhere in sight, and Jim is still trying to save Kerrigan. If you'll recall, the whole "Kerrigan I can save you!" plot arch was already solved in Brood War.
That explains why lurkers and dark archons aren't seen even in the campaign.

sneaky really isn't Kerrigans style to be honest. She was reborn as a force of destruction, and only manipulated because she was down and out. Alternative would have been to just run away and hope for the protoss to take out the overmind, but that's not really her style either.
Am I the only one around here who has the feeling that Kerrigans manipulations on Shakuras only worked because she was protected by plot armor? Especially the part where she kills Aldaris and Zeratul doesn't even threaten to hurt her. Just seems really unlikely.
Then again, I don't think Zeratul could have made good on that threat -- and I don't see Zeratul as the kind to make idle threats. Kerrigan, on the other hand...
Zeratul fears Kerrigan. Not like a coward, but he respects her power and knows that in a direct confrontation he'd be outmatched. It'd be foolhardy to challenge her that way.
Just the mere fact that Kerrigan could invade Raszagal's mind like she did makes it seem like she's far more powerful than all the other major players in Brood War -- and that's even before she became the new, uncontested leader of the whole Swarm.
Kerrigan's very Zergy. I don't mean that in a trite way -- I mean that she uses all the options at her disposal to win because winning's all that matters. That's a very Zergy outlook. If she doesn't have the advantage, she'll scheme and manipulate and buy time. If she does have the advantage, she just uses it -- no questions or hesitation. Look at how she surprise attacked/murdered Fenix and Duke. 10 second window to betray my allies? Sure, I'll take that.
Kerrigan did seem to have more personality in BW than WoL. Then again, we barely see her in WoL.
And furthermore -- just because the Overmind lost its influence over her doesn't necessarily mean that the process of infestation didn't completely warp her personality from the human she used to be. It's kinda like being a borg (Star Trek reference!) -- though you retain the memories and the personality you used to have before being assimilated... you're a completely different person now.

Queen of Blades by Aaron Rosenberg
If I hadn't read that book (authorized by Blizzard), I'd probably be riding with some of yall on the 'Kerrigan isn't the same / wtf sappy romance in my SC2" train. However, I read that book, and it does a very good job of giving you a much more detailed story arch of why Jim and Kerrigan care for each other. The first game didn't have time to show us, and this game was all about her being saved.

I have a feeling that she still had some scraps of humanity and mercy, but then the zerg come back and suddenly there are billions dead within a single day! I don't know if she were any nicer back in the good old days, but if she were then it would seem like she has completely lost it.
But enough about me, what does everyone else think?
I have a feeling that the artifact didn't completely work. Basically, my theory is that there is still some part of the Zerg left in Kerrigan, maybe like a mini chrysalis waiting to hatch and take control of her. Maybe this time Kerrigan will grow wings like an eagle and be the flying queen of blades. That would make the game harder.

My bet's on this for HotS. We didn't see enough of ol' manipulating Mengsk, and we didn't see enough of Kerrigan backstabbing people. Plus, they've already told us that it will be the Queen of Blades as the main character in the zerg campaign, and it'd be pretty strange to have someone else (other than Kerrigan) be the Queen of Blades.

I hope so. It fits what we know about HoTS too, since the Brood is supposed to be "protecting" her and all.
