i honestly thought he was just a little conflicted on the human hate issue...i think he hated all humans EXCEPT the doctor, and i think the only things he liked about humanity were her and that movie...i in the beginning, he clearly enjoyed having the ship to himself and seemed to want to want to be like the humans in that movie, but then the real humans show up and he realizes that for the most part the real humans can be idiotic assholes, and easily grows to resent them....presented with an place were he can get rid of all, if not most of them, he goes for it....

sidenote: the more i think think about it, the more idiotic and insane Weyland's plan is....why would the Engineer save HIM?? he was gonna threaten him, try to muscle it out of him?? did he hope that he'd just go up and ask and the Engineer would just do it? his whole plan was crazy....
