If anything Armin should've been a goner. Me I certainly would've liked to see Sasha Titanized if it meant giving her that extra armor in a situation that simply does not favor the humans. Almost worth being a Titan for those healing abilities.

Hange is the closest thing humanity has to a scientist. I'm assuming she's not a slouch on medical care so I pray her analysis means Sasha has a chance. The way Isayama is playing this out is highly likely to be a setup for more bad news, as much as it is likely to be a fakeout to put us on the edge of our seats. But he doesn't shy away from the bombshells quite as much as some still imply. But he just killed off Bertolt and Erwin Freaking Smith. That's already a lot to swallow in one arc I think. On top of Armin's near-death experience. Which really did look like the end for him initially.
