Alanasis of 'The Thing' film Notes

I'm making a short documentary video of the 1985 version of the movie called the thing. They deliberately created plot opacity in the movie to create mystery. This is how I think the complete story would be with all the missing plots. 

Scene A.  Aliens discover life on earth and on Jupiter's moon Europa in the subsurface ocean. They collect samples from Earth and Europa. They are baffled by the life form from Europa because they are all the same species and they don't eat anything. They have cold fusion proteins in their cells so they get their energy from fusing hydrogen into helium. Yet they have eyes and organs that are unessary, they call it "Sinter pog sloor" in the alien's language that means Over developed hydrogen fuser" They think it is harmless and pick it up. The creature stings the alien's hand and infects him with it's cells. 

Scene B.  The alien that was infected by the 'Sinter' sting starts to go insane and infects the other specimens, a Crab, Snake and Monkey from Earth. 

Scene C. The infected alien's body is being taken over by the organisms cells, his Brain reacts by going paranoid, he accuses the other aliens of poisoning him when he is in cryogenic sleep and shoots the other aliens dead. He damages the ship's computer and it goes into safe mode, the ship lands in the last safe landing site it visited, on an ice sheet in Antarctica, it sends a distress signal. 

Scene D. The crazy alien becomes fully assimilated by the 'Sinter' organism and the other specimens merge with him and it jumps out and burries himself in the ice. The alien's body can freeze and thaw without causing death. They morph into a hybrid creature a kind of crab monkey snake humanoid. It starts digging because the organism remembers there is an Ocean below the ice on Europa but in this place there isn't one, just bed rock. Eventually the creature gets frozen. 

Scene E. The stranded alien ship is rediscovered by humans 100,000 years later and the 'Sinter' creature cut out from the ice. 

Scene F. When the 'Sinter' thaws it attacks the scientists and assimilates some of them. But they gain the upper hand and start burning the creature with flame throwers and grenades. 

Scene G.  The last 'Sinter' Carnation, a dog imitation flees the base and heads for an American base nearby. 
Scene H. The dog is welcomed into the American base. It assimilates Norris while he is sleeping then is put into the kennal. The Dog 'Sinter' them morphs into a crab and snake hybrid creature and starts assimilating the other Dogs in the kennal. 

Scene I.  They discover the Crab and snake hybrid creature and shoot it. It then morphs into a Monkey crab snake and tries to climb out of the kennal. They burn it with a flame thrower. 

Scene J.  Dr Blair, the biologist performs a biopsy on the 'Sinter'. He is stung by reminant living tissue without noticing and receives an infection in his arm. Fukes is also infected during the autopsy. 

Scene k. Dr Blair's brain starts to get assimilated and he becomes very paranoid. He is half human and half 'Sinter' The symptoms of being taken over as an infection is extreme paranoia. Bennings is assimilated by the burnt remains and flees but they burn his imitation. Then Blair attacks the other scientists and kills all the dogs that are still alive. 

Scene L. They want to do a blood test but the Norris 'Sinter' sends a tentical through the keyhole of the blood safe and destroys the samples. Paranoia breaks out. While Palmer is stoned on weed and listening to music Norris assimilates him is one go. 

Scene M. They lock Dr Blair in the supply shed and all become aware that at least one of the crew isn't human. Fukes realises his body is being taken over and burns himself to death with kerosine. 

Scene N and O The Palmer 'Sinter' plants evidence in Mcreadys room, torn clothes and underwear. It then starts accusing other crew of not being human, someone finds the planted evidence and becomes convinced he isn't human. Norris has a heart attack and a crazy monkey snake human hydrid creature jumps out of his torso. They burn it but the head rolls off and turns into a  crab and tries to run away but they see it and burn it. Then they do a hot needle test and expose Palmer as the creature. He tries to grow a biological fire mask and he turns into a strong Monkey Snake. His head turns into a snakes mouth and grabs Dr Windows. They burn them 

Scene P. The realize Blair is now not human and has escaped the shed. 

Scene Q and R. The Blair 'Sinter' kills two more crews and uses their combined biomass to morph into a giant super snake that lays bogs. It is blown up but one of the dogs escapes. 

Scene s.  Mcready and Knowles slowly freeze to death as humans unaware that the creature as sporned one more dog imitation. 

The end.
