i guess we won't know until ralph explains his motives more clearly, because all we can see is him killing everybody.

He is possessed, and the reason for that is because he is weak willed. Being possessed is in fact a refelction of a weak will, because the will itself is something you decide on, or choose yourself, because you rationally believe it is right.
Ralph just acts like a raving lunatic. There is no sign of any conscious decision on his part. He is just acting in reaction to the trauma he received from the incident.
I think he was mentally damaged from that, so I guess the issue of him being weak willed NOW is no longer relevant.

please limit your posts to something RELEVANT to the thread.

From what I see, Ralph was a gentle soul who didn't expect to kill anybody (there might be some arguments to this), and he didn't know he was going to kill these UK Aliens. So when he thought he almost killed one, he felt so much guilt that he wanted to redeem himself to feel better for killing something that looked like his own sister. Emily just took advantage of that feeling and made some kind of contract, and now Ralph is really unstable.
Can't wait until episode 12; I wonder how he's going (attempt to) execute his plan to save the other half of Emily.
It was quite a death fest as long as it lasted. They probably needed to reserve Grim Reaper exclusively for themselves for the duration of the show. Jolly good.
Episode 12 xvid - WinD
Episode 13 xvid - WinD
Episode 12 h264 - WinD
Episode 13 h264 - WinD
(They had some problems with the #12 h264 encode, thus it'll be delayed a little.)
Edit: It was a fine little series. A solid plot with very sharp characters, perhaps even too sharp here and there, but that certainly gave the series individuality that often is lacking in series. Of course the one trait above all in this series was the ruthless manner of killing characters left and right, from the beginning till the end. You never knew who's going to be the next.
Good bye, Anti-Social Sara and Psychopath Ralph!

It's over no, it can't be. Argh
Our conceptions of a raving lunatic differ some 180 degrees, I think. From what I have seen, he has been deadly cold and most of the time totally unemotional during the show. I believe he planned himself how to steal Emily from such a central system of Union, he fought so extremely succesfully against other strains, he retrieved Emily from the space station, streered the space ship into a collision course... It doesn't sound like a raving lunatic to me. It sounds like a man ready to do anything for his goal. Despite having some apparently lethal disease (he's being pretty sickly every now and then). I have no doubt he received some trauma from the incident, but he can still think clearly. He's crazy, no doubt, but thinking far more clearly than many of the sane people in this series (or in general). It's just twisted clearness of vision.
