That's a good point. If I remember BW well enough, you could damage cerebrates with dark templar, but they'd regenerate if you didn't finish them off. | ||

The cerebrates are very different from Kerrigan. Cerebrates can be killed by anyone, but in SC1/BW the cerebrates "essence" would call out to the overmind and the overmind would regenerate them at a different location. Dark templar use a type of energy which can destroy the cerebrates essence, so they can kill a cerebrate permanently, but only after something kills the physical body. In the case of Kerrigan, we don't know whether or not she has an "essence." We also don't know if another overmind exists or would ever return. Therefore, even if she had an essence and the overmind was capable of regenerating and replicating her current form and powers, there is no overmind currently that she could call. | ||

Also when he checks the gun before boarding Mengsk's ship (although it is Valarian on it) he rotates the cylinder so it will be the next shot fired, implying he keeps it saved and can easily put rounds in the other chambers. | ||

However, in the cut scene before he goes after Valerian, he does in deed only have one bullet in the revolver... Perhaps in the process of boarding and taking over a battlecruiser raynor ran his riffle dry and rather than bother reloading whipped out the side arm to finish a few off. By the time he got to the bridge, he had one round left. That fits him to me, gets all the way to the point where he thinks he can kill Mengsk, has just ONE shot to do it and will be left unarmed, likely to die, and goes in head long anyway. The Tragic Anti-Hero if ever there was one. Any of you remeber John McClain's two bullets at the end of Die Hard?? Same thing. | ||

Made him feel like a boss...and was a "last tie" to his good side, so to speak. He shot the TV in the bar with it, presumably more than once since there was a warning sign telling him not to do it again.

Then the fighting starts. He doesnt fire the revoler while on the ship as far as we know. | ||

. Somehow I imagine that they borked it, based on all of the stupid things that went on during the SC2 campaign. Hella fun, and well designed, but come on now. | ||

I guess there is a Protagonist 101 class that all the writers attended in College. lol, I remember having a similar thought when I watched the cinematic the first time. I was hoping someone had read the books and had an insight into why he had a specific bullet saved, but it doesn't seem like that is the case. I'm all for a good symbolic moment of justice, but if there's no story at all to it, then I'm with Jibba on this one. | ||

Alternatively, he saved one bullet ever in case he was captured by the Zerg? Too many Zombie movies for me T_T | ||
