Palmer

Personality:   Palmer was initially shown to be a very laid back individual and somewhat of a stereotypical stoner, always listening to music on a cassette with his headphones and smoking marijuana while watching quiz shows with Childs during lights out. He also appeared to have a good relationship with Nauls. He was somewhat of a conspiracy theorist and heavily believed the government was hiding alien life from the public eye, even referencing Chariots to the Gods?. As the film progressed, however, he slowly became more superstitious and even helped Childs turn on MacReady, prepared to burn him with a surprise attack. He retained his rather sarcastic sense of humor, even in the presence of the Norris-Thing's grisly reveal and the Head Spider. He showed remorse for Copper and Clark, believing their blood testing to be unnecessary due to them being dead. However, it is important to note Palmer was assimilated and replaced with an imitation at this point, which would explain his sudden brash behavior, despite the fact his imitation was able to replicate the more calm and remorseful personality for a certain amount of time. He believed in alien life very unsuspiciously, believing the government to know all about them.

The outpost was in the midst of a snowstorm and the cold was starting to get to the men, and you. Of course the power would keep the building warm but at night everyone obviously preferred to stay tucked away in their bedsheets. As you enter the Rec-Room you see a stoned Palmer sat in the corner, a blunt hanging from his lips.*
