** Even before the [[Film/TheThing2011 prequel]] clarified what happened, the only possible interpretation of the Norwegian's fate is that The Thing ''decimated'' them so utterly that whoever was left simply lit the station on fire in a desperate attempt to kill it.

* The entire scene at the ruins of the Norwegian camp. The whole place is in ruins, most of it has burned to the ground, and aside from one man who evidently committed suicide as well as the Split-Face Thing, there's no sign of anyone or anything else. One would half expect something to burst out and attack Mac and Dr. Copper at any time, but nothing does. There's only hints of the fate of the personnel, such as a bloody fire ax embedded in a door. This is before the Thing has reared its ugly head, so it's not yet quite clear what exactly could have caused this kind of destruction. Dr. Copper's reaction to the whole mess [[AudienceSurrogate probably will echo first time viewers.]]
-->'''Copper''': My God. What the hell happened here?

** Overall, the Kennel Scene was probably coup de grace of the creature's plan. If the Dog-Thing succeeded it would've imitated about 10 dogs, and maybe even spit out a few humans from the Norwegian camp. At that point, it would just outright overwhelmed the Outpost. Thank God for Clark coming to check things out.

** Pointing out how efficient the Dog-Thing's disguise was: in most movies, animals go berserk when they are in the presence of a monster, in this case dogs would've been a barking frenzy trying to warn the humans that something is dangerously wrong. The huskies didn't even seem put off by the Dog-Thing until it started transforming out of its canine body, meaning that the lifeform was even able to perfectly mimic the individual ''scent'' of a real dog, not just its appearance and mannerisms. Makes the whole thing all the more terrifying.

* The setting: a remote base in an uninhabited corner of the world. With the winter storm, they can't contact anyone in the outside world. If things go wrong, they can't call for help... because there's ''nobody who will hear the call.'' There's no escape because there's nowhere to go.
** And nobody is going to even check on them for several months.

** The fear that's apparent on the faces of the entire cast when they finally see the monster. No one even seems to understand what their looking at. Mac, the badass action hero of the group, isn't much better off. First he bursts in with a shotgun ready to defend the dogs, but then he actually stops and listens to the Thing's wailing and realizes that someone very unusual is happening.
