I noticed this too. Despite his almost robotic nature and seemingly automatic killing instinct I found him to be a quite powerful character. I guess the writer's just wanted him to be a character without any human aspects of conscience, a totally ruthless character. I guess the strike might have had an impact on charcetr developm,ent too.
Amazing really, that when we first saw him on the freighter I thought he seemed like a good guy!
