10: Douchbag
Can someone explain to me why Holloway was such a douchbag? He finds what can be best described as a monumental discovery in the history of mankind, but instead of being humbled by the experience, he gets drunk and behaves like a dick because he didn't get to talk to the aliens. And instead of showing any interest in the head that Shaw went to so much trouble to bring back, during the examination he sits at the back of the room getting drunk. I know he's supposed to be a ''cool'' archeologist/scientist but if you traveled all that way and found something that could change the foundations of human evolution, would sulking and getting drunk be the first things you do? He was also the idiot who would not wait to start the exploration of the cave even though the captain told him it would be the best thing to do as there was only six hours of light left. And lets not forget how quickly he took his helmet off, putting himself and the others in danger.
