Yeah, most of James' issues are just him trying to do the right thing. He tends to jump in head first at that point.

Like him walking into a clearly radioactive room, despite warning signs being everywhere and a literal siren going off. All because he saw some injured/sick people lying on the ground and he didn't hesitate to help.

Or flying the ship into a pile of ruble looking for the hybrid (that doesn't happen in the book).

Holden's favourite book, if I recall correctly, is Don Quixote... but instead of seeing it as a satire of sixteenth century Spain and chivalric tradition he sees the antics of the evidently senile and deranged protagonist as a manual of how to act.

The whole series is Holden tilting at windmills.

They're quite well written and engaging windmills, though, and there's a lot of great Sancho Panzas to accompany and provide a contrast to our knight errand, so it's still a great series.
