   Ugh.   
      
   Quaritch was a good villian, but he was run through with a bunch   
   of arrows the size of Olympic javilins.  In a non-breathable   
   atmosphere.  Getting him un-killed doesn't seem plausible.   
      
   Quaritch was an impressive guy.  That bit where he runs out into   
   the poisonous atmosphere, holding his breath, to shoot at his   
   enemies, would have made him a Big Damn Hero if he weren't on   
   the side of evil.   
      
   I do wish they'd explained why Pandora's atmosphere is not   
   breathable by us, but our atmosphere is fine for the natives.   
   The background (not on screen) was that it was something like   
   12% CO2.  They breathe oxygen, and don't mind the CO2.   
      
   I'd like the sequels to have an Earth government ticked at   
   what the corporation had done, and trying to come to some   
   reasonable terms with the natives, but I suspect that goes   
   against Cameron's vision for the series.
