hmm, true, the blood sample I didn't really take as sentient though
just a reaction to the heat
And the spider I took as the sentience, fleeing the dead body

The dog-thing from the start is separate to the frozen remains they find which are still alive and infect Bennings.

plus Bennings is obviously torched but the Thing survives in someone else
ha, I don't think I ever bothered thinking about it, just liked the paranoia and effects work :D

I've always read it as every single cell is an aspect of the Thing.
Chop it into five pieces and each bit will get up and act individually, but working towards a single goal. Any blood it leaves behind will actively seek a new target/safety, and if it wanks on your bed, the spunk will chase you.
