People circlejerk "morally grey" these days I know but I'm used to Alien installments having Good Guys (Ripley, Bishop, Hicks, Dallas) and Bad Guys (Burke, Ash, Brad Dourif)

So it catches me off guard a bit that this guy is such a sinister, treacherous motherfucker and then the big flashback episode totally exonerates him. He had less than zero role in the outbreak, he tried to the best of his ability to contain the outbreak (and nearly succeeded) and the meanest thing he does is the first thing we see him do onscreen; leave the pajeet girl to die. And even then we're shown that his callousness at this point was RIGHT, he himself survives by a margin of a single second, saving her would have been absolutely impossible
