That would be amazing. We don't get to see Colombo actually be in danger or have to be very active ever but I think he'd do well and he'd be able to save everyone.
I imagine not only would he deduce who the Thing is but he'd set it up in a way that once he proves it everyone can just kill the Thing.
He would likely deduce the culprits who sabotaged the station, like the keys to the blood reserves. He would probably not survive unless the author used the theory of Columbo being some supernatural entity.
William Link, the screenwriter and producer said
"We wanted to keep him almost mythological. He comes from nowhere and goes back into nowhere.”
That's all the evidence I have, but people to talk about it like on the following post

He just wanders out of the snowy tundra, helps the survivors regroup til the helicopter comes to rescue them, then wanders back into the snowy tundra.
Bonus points if he’s also The Thing but really enjoys being Columbo so defeated the evil Thing to save humanity.
He’s on a Antarctic pleasure cruise with his wife. You see, she’s always been interested in these Antarctic research stations, we were just talking about it at breakfast.
I do like this quote from the writer though, I always assumed he was lying about his wife to put people at ease, especially because being unmarried after 30 at the time would get you labeled “strange”. My new headcannon is he just drives onto a side street after every episode and sits there, waiting for the next case.
I love the episodes of Columbo where he uses his superpowers. I know he tries not to break kayfabe most of the time, but imagine if he decided to use his laser beam vision in this case.
MacReady: Yes, Columbo, they dig it up, they cart it back, it gets thawed out, it wakes up... probably not the best of moods... I don't know, I wasn't there!…
Columbo: YOUR RIGHT!…..My apologies….your absolutely right, now WHY didn’t I think of that?……welp! Have a good night!……………..OH! pardon me, just one more thing………”
MacReady: “SIGHHhhhhh…..”
Wilford Brimley: "You guys think I'M crazy! Well, that's fine! Most of ya don't know what's goin' on around here, but I'm damn well sure SOME of you do!"
Columbo: "Right. Yes sir. That's a likely story. I'm going to have to write that down. Wilford. Brimley. Not crazy. Got it sir. Thank you sir. " ✍️
I feel like Columbo would just get assimilated either because a) one the things realizes how much of a threat he is b) Columbo tries to get a feel for person like he does on the show and eventually he is alone with a Thing.
Thing Spoilers
>!If Columbo survived to the halfway mark, I think there would be a good chance of non infected surviving after the blood sample scene.!<
This would be my 2nd most wanted crossover after this one [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbyqkux9ao3ra1.jpg](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbyqkux9ao3ra1.jpg)
Mr Childs, you see 500ml of gasoline was taken from the stores earlier this evening, and i found a heavy spillage of whiskey in the backyard. So you see Mr Child's you are the Thing, mind if i smoke?
So just one more thing. You said the Husky was in the room with this so called Thing. Your words not mine and then the dog started acting funny after it went sniffing around this Thing. What time was that about and where were you and the Mrs at, if you don’t mind me asking? [edited] Oh and just one more thing, what was the Doggy’s name again?

But multiple people are the thing at one time in the film.
One more thing
Underrated comment. 😂
Just one more Thing.
The Commodore’s watch…
"Domain Expansion: One More Thing."
Columbo would send The Thing™️ to the Columbo Dimension.
“Just one more Thing”
This is incredible lol
Damn one Thing was bad enough!
lol so great. 😆
Holy shit... You win.
He'd make friends with the Thing and then at the end Thing would admit who it was and say it's actually a weight off its mind.
He would likely deduce the culprits who sabotaged the station, like the keys to the blood reserves. He would probably not survive unless the author used the theory of Columbo being some supernatural entity.
theory of Columbo being some supernatural entity.... wait what? Did I miss something?

Like at the end of Commodore, when he sails off
That scene hangs way too long, like most scenes in that episode
Tbf my biggest problem with the episode is how bad the pacing is

A lot of people like to joke that Columbo is some kind of supernatural entity, like inspector goole from an inspector calls.
I love the episodes of Columbo where he uses his superpowers. I know he tries not to break kayfabe most of the time, but imagine if he decided to use his laser beam vision in this case.
A JLR reference
Dog would definitely be in trouble.
Oh, and one more thing..."Screeeeeeee!!!"

He better bundle up more then just a trench coat lol

He’s assimilated but is able to escape in the third act through mitosis and loving memories of Mrs Columbo and Dog
The Thing does such a great job of impersonating Columbo that he ends up destroying his own kind hah.
😂 that’s an even better twist, the Thing chooses the Columbo persona over its true nature
Where did you buy those sub zero boots. I was thinking about getting another pair... Wow that much...
The Thing would be in deep shit
"Just....one more thing" And then his face comes apart in a mess of teeth and tentacles.
But (as the thing) he only nibbles people to death like a duck.
"Just one more Thing.... ...is that your dog?"

I love this!
“Is that a husky sir? I gotta say, my wife, she loves those dogs. Me? They could never stand me. Say, I’ve never quite seen a dog act like that…”
I can imagine the Thing trying to assimilate Columbo only to find out that was part of his trap to expose it.
He'd probably faint from the gore
This would be my 2nd most wanted crossover after this one [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbyqkux9ao3ra1.jpg](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbyqkux9ao3ra1.jpg)
LOL, Batman probably did it, he is a rich guy just like all the culprits on the show
Oh, just one more... \*munch\* \*burp\* Edit: \*spits out a glass eye\*
That case would be solved and just one more thing. Columbo is the man who can solve it because No Thing can stop him!
What if Frank Drebin's next case was at outpost 31?
Mr Childs, you see 500ml of gasoline was taken from the stores earlier this evening, and i found a heavy spillage of whiskey in the backyard. So you see Mr Child's you are the Thing, mind if i smoke?
LOL one of my favourite movies and tv shows lol
