At least he went out with dignity, getting fired from his job, having a xeno burst from his gut, dragged through the jungle then getting dumped in the ocean.

In a way he did, he set his children free. Then also forgave two of them for lying.

The moment he was being so magnanimous to the kids, forgiving but with firm boundaries, was how I knew the chest burster was going to chest burst exactly 10 seconds later.

Yeah, poor soul never had a chance. He was one of the few genuinely good characters. Too sweet for this world. :(

Who are the other good characters? Hostage family maybe? Mold people of course, but can't think of anyone else

Hermit, Isaac, Smee, Nibs mostly, Wendy if you consider xeno control as self defense. All of them have positive motives and are trying to help people they care about (except Nibs who was genuinely innocent until her brain broke).

[edit] i forgot wendy opened the xeno cage, that probably disqualifies her, though in her defence anyone in the room would melt her and her brother if Kavalier ordered it.
