Not in the "I'm an android!" way, it's more like psychologically, something seems to be really off. When he says "This discussion is over" to the bald guy and turns away, he really walks as if he already knows he has lost ... which seems quite typical of his whole body language in the series. He seems hopeless, sometimes as if sleepwalking. While his words are assertive and often hopeful, his whole demeanour is the opposite.Maybe they're just playing him against type: Making him morally upright and outspoken and even emotionally tough, while making him look like a slightly lost, insecure nerd. Which I actually kind of like, though it is weird. Maybe he even is kind of representative of people who have a halfway intact moral compass, but have long since learned that they'll always be on the losing side following it ... they still follow it, but can't just muster up the strength to be all assertive about it in a Ripley-like way, they just say what is right, and then suck it up and move on ...Finally, general thought:At this point, I really don't get why this isn't set after Aliens/Alien3. It would make things so much more simple, and as of now, you'd have to change exactly nothing about the story to move it to that timeframe. Why does it have to take place in the crowded prequel/inquel timeline?</blockquote>
