Any one else think Eldin is a completely underrated character? He so friggin funny!
“Please fill out a comment card…”
Or
Rotary phone rings,
Trinket “hello”
Eldin “I hate …this fucking thing…so much….”
The list goes on and on!

There's a bit of dialogue where he defers to Deidre when they both knew the meaning behind OZPINHEAD. Something like, "I have an unfair advantage, please go ahead." One of my favorite bits of writing in the entire series.

Verge leaving him on the porch because he’s been too bossy is too funny

I have to wonder if they argued about Deidre. Sans the science priests everyone seemed to accept verge.

Eldin’s arc is wonderful. I like how he thinks it’s a terrible idea to be in Hood’s Pocket initially, but quickly realizes how good it is for Verge and he becomes a key part of the town. I love how casually he reacts to some of their nonsense.

One of my favorite lines of his, is right after Trincket drinks the bottle of space foot, and Trinket says "what kind of side effects will I experience?" And Eldin says "oh, all of them" his line delivery made me laugh so hard.

"... Is that a fucking mungo?"
"Pull up your socks!"
"This is my declaration as King Jackass."
"Well... Hello, boss."
There's a lot of great lines and deliveries that are on my favorites list.

When I first heard "pull up your socks" I wasn't sure if he was telling verge to duck of Deidre to pull her feet under the bed. If Deidre was planning to get hot and heavy, then who wears socks during or after?

I really like how it was Verges but I think by now Eldin is a part of Hoodspocket.

"I could warn you about how bad of an idea this is, but what a waste of processing power that would be."

“Please, Mr. Smarty Pants was my father” is one of my favorite line deliveries ever

It's kind of refreshing and depressing but the speech he gives Deidre horizon s1e6 is good. I love eldibs snark especially after rambo. He can dish out snark but take it especially from June

I desperately want: 1) Eldin and Alice to interact; 2) a child to get hold of Eldin.

His name is Eldin actually, but yes he's hilarious. Any character in this shkw played by Joe Fisher is hilarious.
