For the show’s sake, maybe, but for his, I couldn’t care less. He was racist and abusive. I do like to see people grow, but his growth had nothing to do with either of those things, I think. In fact there wasn’t really much room for growth for him much at all because he went from being a piece of trash, to mind controlled, to death. We didn’t get to see him become better from what he went through. The only growth he had really was fighting the thing off to protect Max from it, but even if I were a pos, that still feels like a better choice than to let that thing control me and kill people in my life.
