>>86965343He's ambiguous, I'll give you that, but he's still firmly a villain. His goals were a lot more noble than Jimmy's - he even says this himself - but he still does a lot of fucked up shit to get there. Him killing
Goddard was purely out of spite, even if it did unintentionally lead to Sam fulfilling the next step of his plan.
His actions in his fight with both Jimmy and Sheen are what cements him as a villain in my eyes, at least. After
incapacitating Sheen, Jimmy gave him the option of negotiation. All Sam had to do was trust/not betray Jimmy and he would've succeeded without any further bloodshed, but his paranoia got in the way and thus he refused Jimmy's offer which lead to Sheen's death.He's a well-intentioned extremist, but a well-intentioned extremist is still an extremist.
