Unfinished Business (The Thing) (Fanfic) | comment |
Unfinished Business is a fan-made continuation of John Carpenter's 1982 horror film The Thing along its 2011 prequel of the same title which was written by John Alexander Hitchcock. While it is not the first attempt to pick up where the Carpenter film left off (officially there was both a comic book and video game sequel, unofficially there are countless other fanfics that also did this), but it was a deliberate attempt to break from the styles of such narratives, replacing the bleak atmosphere of the original films with an atmosphere of hope and optimism.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The narrative picks up where the 1982 film ended. Mac and Childs are the lone survivors of Outpost 31, and have been left stranded in the snow waiting to inevitably freeze to death. However, this does not come to pass, as a nearby Russian camp (the camp mentioned in the 2011 prequel) has spotted the fire and arrives with a medical team. Both men are carried back to the camp. Mac and Childs are initially paranoid of each other, but to their surprise, the Russians have reason to believe them. It turns out that a complete stranger by the name of Kate Lloyd had arrived only a few days earlier telling a similar story. For the sake of everyone's well-being, a blood test is performed on everyone, all of whom turn out to be human. Mac, Childs, and Kate realize that they now have the upper hand in the conflict, and with a series of precautions and the aid of the Russian base commander Yuri and doctor/biologist Vladimir, proceed to erect a plan to destroy the Thing once and for all- or at least to keep any future explorers from finding it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Read it here, though it is worth mentioning that it is really long.A prequel story, titled Irina's Memoir has also been published. This one chronologically takes place just after the 2011 prequel and during the start of the 1982 film. This story is written in the first-person as a recollection of Kate's arrival at the Russian camp, also providing a small amount of character development for Irina herself and some of the other Russians. | |

The Cameo: A somewhat interesting case in that several characters from the films make cameos- Clark, Copper, Windows, Bennings, Fuchs, and Colin... as corpses. There was also the Griggs-Thing from the prequel. | |

Changing of the Guard | |
Unfinished Business (The Thing) (Fanfic) / int_245cb69d | comment |
Changing of the Guard: The story is initially told from Mac's point of view, but gradually expands to the point where he's just one out of an ensemble cast, even spending a large chunk of the story hung over whilst Childs and Kate become the main focus. Kate also has more of a supporting role despite being the central focus of the 2011 prequel. In fact if anything, both end up being more closer to The Lancer, while the role they took in their respective films as a leader to their group ends up being taken by Yuri. | |

Bury Your Gays: Averted. Irina is the only explicitly gay character and she survives the events of both stories. In fact in Irina's Memoir it's even suggested she at least still keeps in touch with her girlfriend. | |

Noodle Incident: The full details regarding how Kate was imprisoned are never fully elaborated on, though its mentioned that she had attacked Irina out of paranoia and it is implied that she may have done one or two other things. This was addressed in Irina's Memoir where it was shown she had a nervous breakdown similar to that of Blair in the Carpenter film- but the Russians were able to stop her before she could do as much damage, then locked her in Yuri's room for her own protection. | |

Discontinuity Nod: At the end, a rescue team investigating the remains of Outpost 31 is accompanied by a Norwegian doctor named Jans Bolen. A deleted scene in the Carpenter film gave this name to the Norwegian who was shot in the opening scene. Since it wasn't in the final movie, the prequel renamed the character Lars. A deleted scene from the Carpenter film involved a second body in the Norwegian camp, which appears in this story. | |

Nuclear Option: Discussed, but ultimately subverted. Yuri suspects that a nuclear strike would be the only way to completely destroy The Thing, but he quickly realizes that a) you have to have a very good reason to order a nuclear strike and b) it would mean having to tell the outside world about "The Thing", perhaps getting attention from certain parties wanting to use it as a weapon or scientists getting a little bit too curious (thus getting the Thing a few steps closer to getting out of Antarctica). | |

Take That! | |
Unfinished Business (The Thing) (Fanfic) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: The whole story originated from a discussion on the IMDB boards. After hearing a fan talking about an idea for a sequel in which the survivors of both the films end up in the Russian camp but have to fight against the Thing again, Hitchcock realized that it would just be repeating the previous films and get pretty tiring. However, he liked the idea of the Russian base and bringing together the survivors of both films, and came up with an alternate idea for a sequel in which Mac and Childs are rescued by the Russians but must confront their paranoia before figuring out how to destroy the Thing once and for all. The idea was laughed at by the other users, who argued that a sequel in which the Thing barely appeared would be incredibly stupid. He then realized that even if John Carpenter himself were to read his suggestion and use the idea it would likely get butchered by Executive Meddling, and so decided to write it himself to prove them wrong. | |

Unfinished Business (The Thing) (Fanfic) / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Out of the eight members of the Russian team, only Vladimir, Yuri, and Ivan speak English (and even then, only Yuri and Vladimir speak it fluently). As a result, any portions of the story focused on the Russian characters is meant to have them speaking their own language with their lines translated. This is made clear by the fact that translated dialogue is marked by curved brackets. Played straight in Irina's Memoir, where the whole story was told from the perspective of a Russian woman who doesn't speak English. | |

Unfinished Business (The Thing) (Fanfic) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Everyone in the Russian expedition team was loosely inspired by a character from the Carpenter film, and inherited some traits of them, if only filling out a similar job. In order of appearance: Irina (Nauls) is the cook, also a minority among the team (a woman this time, rather than black) Vladimir (Copper/Blair) is a biologist and physician, and is also much older than the rest of the team. Yuri (Garry) is the base commander, though his character arc is ironically the opposite of Garry's. Ivan (Norris) is the team's Geologist. He also gets to visit the crater where the flying saucer was buried. Nicolae (Palmer) is a mechanic and helicopter pilot. Alexei (Windows) is the radio operator. Miroslav (Clark) is the dog handler. He's also quite anti-social and has a vaguely similar physique. Pavel (Bennings) is the meteorologist. | |

Follow the Leader: Averted. Many of the previous efforts at continuing the story were much darker, often involving one of the two survivors either being revealed as or implied to be a Thing. | |
