YOU are THE THING. What would you do to survive the outpost
Imagine if you were the thing (lol) What would you do to survive mac and the rest of the crew and also the swed oh i mean norwegians. What mistakes did you think that the thing did? I personally wonder why the thing didnt just blow up the generator in the first place, the crew would have died. Or why didnt the thing as palmer/norris just take a shotgun and try to kill everybody while they where sleeping. The shotgun theory may be risky. Bullets dont kill it but somebody maybe would manage to torch the thing so it chose to be more stealthy and move in shadows as its seems as this is the things prefered behavior. And another thing. Why didnt the thing just go off with the norweigans helicopter once it assimilated its first victim. Or the us outposts helicopter. Maybe it hadnt assimilated the ones who knew how to man the choppers, but the thing is very intelligent, couldnt it just do it without having assimilated a pilot. And there is a possibility that palmer whas infected when the chopper was available. But still it built some sort of a spacecraft. Maybe its true what some people here believe that the thing never wanted to reach civilized areas. Maybe the thing is a disease like i believe or a own race or what ever and that some alien races far out in the galaxy had launched a massive attempt to neutralize this extremely deadly organism that was a massive threat for all living beings in this universe and the thing landed on earth, on a place where it believed no one would look for it. Sorry if became to much Leets hear some feedback 8)

That answer depends on the status of the Thing. Should it be a advanced weapon of war, the only thing the Thing is really interested in is causing havoc and deep mistrust in enemy ranks. Keep in mind that the Thing doesn't understand that a human is NOT it's original, intended enemy. Should the Thing be just a kind of virus, trying to survive, I would have kept a low profile and taken over Mac during a game of chess in his cabin. That would be down 2 and no one would suspect me/us.

if i were the thing....
i would cut off all communication with the outside world.....i would destroy all choppers/tractors that would allow the humans to escape....i would make sure nobody comes up with a smart way of detecting me....i would then takeover as many people as possible...then i would somehow find a way to get off the planet or perhaps maybe even spread my love to few continents...(even though i destroyed all the man made vehicles...i'll think of something..im smart..i've lived a long time...lolz) :D
