To clear one thing up: The Booker you play as in episode 1 is actually an escaped Comstock who fled to Rapture after his failed kidnapping of Anna and reverted back to being called Booker.
I agree with you for the most part on Elizabeth's treatment in Burial at Sea. While I do think there were some good character moments with her in episode 2, its hard not to raise an eyebrow with how she is treated. I also don't buy that Elizabeth will use a child as bait in order to taunt and kill Comstock.Her death was needlessly grim, which was followed after a trans orbital lobotomy, and she ultimately dies for the benefit of Bioshock 1s' story, a story i completed back in 2007 that had nothing to do with Elizabeth or anything mentioned in Burial at Sea. Elizabeth deserved better or at least a death that was fulfilling to her story and not a contrived, unconvincing way to tie Infinite in with Bioshock 1.
I still love the bioshock series, Infinite being my favorite, but Burial at Sea will always be seen to me as the black sheep of the franchise.
