But in 38 mins, he voiced an opinion, that he thought was for the good of the city and Weir slapped him down. I'd be a little pissed after that too.
See, my dislike for him didn't spring from his scientific opinion of the possible explodey-ness. It's based on him wasting Weir's time after the group meeting. Everyone knows they've got -- what? -- twenty minutes (?) until kablooie time, and he's blithering about her management style.
I can totally understand that (most of) what he says is valid. He was totally right to be cautious and to tell everyone about it. But I get the feeling that in the meeting he was stuck on that issue and wouldn't let it drop so they could go on to consider other (less deadly) options, and we *see* that he pigeonholes Weir afterward to discuss something that was not time-critical. In the midst of a countdown he's wasting time.
Is he Rodney-lite? Yep. Do the writers (and the actor!) do a great job of making him detestible? Yep.
Do I think Weir in Critical Mass had her head firmly up her ass? Yep.
