Changed my mind about the color of the eel steaks, so if you’re wondering why they’re pink now, it’s not an accident.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

Ruh-roh…
Oh, I didn’t realize that was food previously. Yeah, good call on pink, makes it more obvious it was food, not clay.
And looks like Scar was the creator of the kid’s hand, wonder if that will paint a different color of either Scar or the hand for Selkie.
Yeah initially I made the steaks the same gray-green color as the eel hides, but after a little bit of thought I realized just because the hide is gray-green doesn’t mean the muscle tissue is.
Tuna – Lt. Gray/med. green gray, Cod – white, Salmon – pink/orange, Fuzzy meat – don’t eat it. Good choice, Dave, I support it.
I figured that the prosthesis was made by Mr. Scar™️. Just seemed the kind of thing he’d make, he’d be the most logical choice… Didn’t know til now, but that was my thought. Clamping hand, meh, could be anyone. Spear hand, oh! Probably Mr. Scar, it’s his M.O. / sense of humor.
Actually all of the eel I prepared were more of a translucent whitish color under the skin.
Also in case you want to use it for a later nightmare inducing episode at some point, I once gutted an eel that had been out of water for approximately 3 hours at the time we attempted to kill him. In mixed horror and fascination we discovered that his heart kept beating after being removed. It kept beating for well over an hour after it was removed. It tasted delicious but the Saga of The Eel Who Would Not Die is still being retold close to 20 years later. Also the sort of coastal eels we get in New England can handle saltwater, freshwater, brackish and can travel overland and survive out of water for many hours without harm. You know, just in case you needed Todd to have nightmares and then discover it was worse than he thought. 😀
Out of water for three hours and it’s heart was still beating?! I think you ate the Eel version of Wolverine.
😬 Scar, buddy, maybe give them a bit more space for now.
I think he may not have noticed them yet. Not 100% positive, just saying it’s a possibility he heard the whoosh of the spear, goes “Oh hey, he’s playing again” and noticed ma is still mad about idiot-life-decisions. He’ll notice/get to the ruh-oh soon enough.
Uhhh Scar kinda… lives here. It’s not his fault if they run into him in what is essentially his home. He’s also an Echo and probably has rounds he’s supposed to make.
I feel for Scar. I don’t know, maybe its my own checkered past and trying to be a better person now but….
Is Scar talking to Todd here? He only has the “Russian accent” while speaking English, right?
He always has the Russian accent. I think it auto-translates? Either way, Scar is always shown talking in English, never in Tensai.
Hmm, plot wise not much point to him being there, unless he has completed her power booster, to reverse the effects of the limiter, and earn some brownie points for trying to be a good guy.
It better have settings between 0 and 11. Starting at 11, and slowly lowering it to ween yourself off of it. I wonder how much power Selkie will currently have at setting 1 and 11.
And I wonder if it could be used by non echos to turn people into echos. if it could give non echos the same powers, it would be a game changer in the war, and would literally change history.
And if it can, would it also work on humans? what would Todd do with Echo powers?
I do not want to even try to imagine what kinds of Awesome architectural models Todd would be able to build If he were an echo. I don’t even.
A bit late, but congrats on 1400!
It looks like his hand is a hook with a spear gun attached to it. Why didn’t Scar give him fingers?
Mehn wanted the hook.
I’m sorry but I love the rancher’s son and husband. They’re awesome.
“Dammit boy! People gotta eat that! Don’t put yer spear in it!”
I laughed for three straight minutes.
…because my brain when HERE, like immediately!
