I just really want to know who finally gets to off Arcturus basically, and if the Protoss ever retake Auir, etc.
And I didn't like the direction they took by introducing a Raynor and Kerrigan love story, but ignoring that incongruity, I think it ultimately was successful in allowing them to create a dramatic storyline that centered completely on Raynor. Someone you loved is now a monster, but underneath there's still something there you still want desperately to save. So you lash out at the other monster who made her what she is now.
