    That same “coward” didn’t sit on his ass and drink the second he woke up, he figured out what was going on and set his mind to solving the problem.

    The amnesia in the film was downplayed a lot (or the film would have had to be a couple hours longer). In the book he didn’t even go though the personal bags until much later (he had already remembered the heroin bag so was not surprised to find it).

    Grace didn’t scream bloody murder when he shut down the centrifuge, he… just did it I guess. (Like, wtf else did you think was about to happen, movie Grace?)

    His panicked reaction when the Hail Mary stopped deccelerating for the first time (when falling into orbit around τ Ceti) is also indicative.

    He didn’t scream and try and run away from Rocky, he was instantly excited and eagerly worked his ass off for a first contact with an intelligent alien race.

    “He looks like a spider, a big ass spider”. He was terrified at first glance.
