This review was fun to read.

She was provided tools inadequate for the tasks at hand. First, why was she unable to communicate to the management of the corporation that the virus had escaped containment? Second, why does she have to use safety features such as Halon and water to kill people? The facility should have had pipes to flood it with a lethal neurotoxic gas.

Like you said, plot holes. But the Red Queen is the protagonist of the story. The selfish humans escaping from the facility when they know it puts the world at risk are evil.

like I said, though, she seems to relish killing them!

Was the "Security AI" semi-evil? If it had succeeded, the t-virus would not have been released into the world. Given the same choice, what would you have done?

I mean, it seems to take joy in murdering people.
