Ah, Amos. C'mere ya big lug.

A two-fer:

-1. He saved Chen.

To quote "Laura" (Logan 2017)--paying homage to the movie "Shane": "A man has to be what he is..., can't break the mold. There's no living with the killing. There's no going back. Right or wrong, it's a brand, a brand that sticks." If Chen had killed Strickland, he would have been haunted by that deed for the rest of his life.

-2. He terminated Strickland with extreme prejudice.

Unlike Chen, he knows that killing a fiend like Strickland is the equivalent scraping "S" of your shoe. Way to go Amos!

I AM THAT GUY...MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Know I would have .

It's probably why he said "I was being nice" when speaking of how he handled the situation. Looking back to how he handled Strickland, I say sending those two off into space to board another ship was actually being nice, for Amos.
