* Blackhand invoking Mak'gora on Lothar makes some sense: As much as the Warchief is the leader of the Horde, he ''is'' in charge of a warband of warriors that honor and respect strength and prowess. Blackhand, for all his leadership, has had very few victories to his name (if any), and what we have seen on-screen shows that he's been getting his ass handed to him, no pun intended. The one victory he can claim is that he killed the son of the small-teeth's champion, which isn't much. At the same time, at the final battle with the small-teeth, he was denied the honor of killing Llane, their chieftain. So Blackhand honestly ''needs'' a victory he can solidly claim as his own. If the chieftain is dead, then their champion will be sufficient, especially after Lothar came riding in hard and took out a good number of warriors with his gryphon.

** Moreover, even if he didn't give a damn about the baby's life, the baby's ''death'' was something he really couldn't allow to stand. Gul'dan's leadership predicates on his promises of a healthy new world for orc-kind to claim, so having the first orc born there - a respected chief's son, hence an infant expected to be strong and hardy - die ''without even taking a breath'', could have been taken for a terrible omen: a sign that this new land, despite its lush appearance, wasn't fit for the orc clans to live and breed in. Furthermore, if word of Draka's transit-induced stillbirth made it back through the Dark Portal, any expectant parents among the waiting Horde's ranks would likely refuse to cross over until ''after'' their own young were safely born, delaying much of the invading force's arrival and impeding Gul'dan's conquests.
