Complaining, and sadly some legitimate posts get cut too since they no longer have context.

** As a final point in this debate, it seems irrefutable that Kerrigan underwent some(Total) personality BadassDecay. I mean, she's the person who gave us "Queen bitch of the universe," and in the final mission of ''VideoGame/StarcraftII'' its all "[[YouFool You fools]] [generic threat]" and "You will pay for this treachery!" Seriously? When did she turn into an 80's cartoon villain? Not to mention in the Prophecy cutscene she just spouts generic [[ChewingTheScenery "Them dark threats over yon hill"]] stuff you get in every overly dramatic movie trailer. I dunno. I just hope that the whole thing was a {{plan}} by Kerrigan herself to get uninfested for whatever reason. I even thought I saw a little of it too... did anyone else see anything calculating about that fawning look she shoots Raynor before he kills Tychus?
*** [[FridgeBrilliance That might actually be it]]. We know that she wanted to get deinfested on ''some'' level: Her short psychic message of "don't give up" near the end is proof of that. On the surface, it looks like her original personality finally gaining strength for a few moments, but maybe it was just another part of the gambit, to make Raynor think the infestation's mind control can be removed?
*** Hopefully, that is the case.

** Tychus didn't want to attack Char because it would put him solidly in a position he was unlikely to survive. remember, he'd never experienced the zerg before the game started so he wasn't as afraid of them as he should have been. Plus, even if he survives battling the zerg his agreement with Mengsk means he's obligated to go after Kerrigan or die. Which would put him into a kill or be killed confrontation with the Queen of Blades, as well as his best buddy Jim. As he says, he's only just been given a taste of freedom and he didn't want to throw it away. If the Raiders don't confront Kerrigan he doesn't have to make his choice and he doesn't have to deal with almost certain death.
* Following on the above, are we supposed to believe that Tychus didn't know about the nature of the artifact and the true intentions of the Mobius and/or Valerian? He enticed Raynor to go after the artifacts for monetary reasons, and for Raynor it's understandable - he needs to fund his rebellion. But Tychus himself is in absolutely no position to care about enrichment, what with Mengsk holding a finger on his killswitch. So, if the Mobius/Valerian approached him about the artifacts, why would he agree, unless they told him the truth? And if they did, why does he spend the whole story like he doesn't and again, why does he objects to actually using the artifact?

* Why was Tychus so adamantly opposed to the idea of attacking Char and curing Kerrigan? What was up with trying to undermine Raynor's authority because of it? His goal was to kill her, and there were two obstacles for that: a) a shitload of Zerg protecting her and b) her being an invincible monster who could probably snap him in half with her bare hands. Raynor's plan provided him with means and resources to overcome both of those obstacles, so what was his beef? That the plan was a suicide? Probably, yeah, but he was a dead man walking already, so it shouldn't be too much of a worry. Hell, why did he approach Raynor in the first place if not to use his people against Kerrigan?

* Now that I think of it, Tychus had one legitimate gripe. How the hell did curing Kerrigan require '''invading Char'''? Kerrigan wasn't confined to the planet, and I think luring her out shouldn't have been too much of a problem, provided they had a suitable bait like, say, the artifact she had spent the whole game chasing.
