Reply to comment by Slick_36 in The Thing (1982) -- the scene with MaReady checking on Blair in the cabin by darthvirgin

Yep it seems like once you are infected the thing will just chill inside and let the host autopilot as if nothing was wrong until it feels threatened then it takes over. Blair was suicidal so the thing took over and it explains why he's so different when talking MacReady.
