** We don't really know his mindset, after all he's, well, alien. He comes from a completely different culture and his mind is totally inhuman so his action can be incomprehensible to us. Now, even so, especulating a little he could be the equivalent of a conservationist or animal rights activist in his culture, but he still considers humans to be primitive savage things that are way inferior to him. Using the conservationist analogy again, a man can be bent of protecting some rain forest or natural area and still going to it well armed, and if he wakes up surrounded by angry chimps doing things to him he probably will react killing them even if he's trying to save and help them (as a species).

** To be fair, there was noticeable nervous tension from the more not so stable members of the group. Explaining Baxley had Tourettes probably wouldn't have made the situation any less difficult, let alone giving them a chance to come up with the thought of "hey, we should tell her he has Tourettes." Besides, for all they knew, she probably wouldn't have believed him then and there (but may have later on after observing him more). Also, Nebraska, considering how he is, he's just an asshole and probably enjoyed watching Baxley squirm just for kicks.

* A big deal is donde about how the alien is not a predator but a hunter, yet he's clearly carnivorous thus the term is still well applied. Humans are predators even if we practice sport hunting, that doesn't de-predatize us.
