The whole entire way that it gestates and bursts out, it is this parasitic relationship.

So with that in mind, the thing is my favorite alien.

The thing?

They were ants.

Them is ants.

They is something entirely different.

Okay.

All right, so back on track, Chuck.

Come on.

Okay, sorry.

So The Thing is a... Well, the remake, which is the one that's most popular, is this 1980s movie with Kurt Russell, directed by John Carpenter.

And The Thing is this organism...

Yep.

Yeah, okay, I forgot I saw that movie.

It can take any form.

And the thing that scared me about it is, one, it really is a parasite, but an intergalactic parasite.

And it just takes upon, like you have things like the jewel wasp here on Earth, right?

Which is more similar to the xenomorph, an alien, where it impregnates the cockroach, basically, and then the larvae bursts out and it becomes a full-on wasp, flies away.

But the thing I love, because it brings up this conundrum where does the person who it took the body of, the form of, is it aware that it's not human?

Or does it think that it's human?
