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 grizzly reveal and the Head Spider. He showed remorse for Copper and Clark, believing their blood testing to be unnecessary due to them being dead.
