@Nikolai actually he was right through the ears you can see them here http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/04/you-think-youd-notice-something-like-that/ and hear Qin’s explanation here http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/04/bedside-manner-needs-work/ in face there’s s close up on one of them here as well though again non of the people shot seem to be in serious pain.

@e_voyager I’d bet they fixed the problem by now, either that or the Scout was using ‘unconventional’ ammunition. I again point to the events in the previous episode as proof. True Slick wasn’t the one wounded, but his should be at around the same level comparatively.

@nikolai the glitter probably helps but it would mean that slicks glitter has been upgraded some. remember that before when he was wound in the ear the medic ( Qin ) said that his only worry about slick was that he was bleeding more then he should from such a minor wound to the ear.

Guysguysguys, I think we’re forgetting something important: GLITTER!!!!!!!

Remember? The nanotech in people that helps out in various ways? The stuff that in large amounts is bad, but in small amounts heals? The tail is small enough, it probably just blocked it off and is telling the nerves: Hey no pain here, move along.

Reattatching might be a bit more of a difficult process, but I bet he’s not rolling in pain, or bleeding out, from glitter work, since we saw Jigsaw and Daisy were still able to keep talking and stuff after their own wounds, even if they were limited in action. This clearly isn’t as bad, so I bet the glitter handles it better.

I sort of assume its painkillers – keeping your troops out of shock is a fairly sensible precaution to take.

I’m sort of curious if he’s going to go for a prosthetic, or if there is enough life support in the bit of suit that was removed to keep it alive and re-attachable. If Sulucamas is right about its vascular structure, it wouldn’t take much to keep that bit “not dead.”

@Vulpis: Maybe a bit of both? Their suits aren’t supposed to provide much protection on their own, but perhaps they give wounds some compression along with being skin-tight. I’d also think that there just isn’t much vasculature to bleed from near the tip of a Talmi’s tail, given how thin it is.

For the lack of screaming, I’d attribute that to the time that’s elapsed and/or Slick himself. It wouldn’t make for good television if the suits provided painkillers.

You know, it occurs to me–Slick’s had a chunk of his tail chopped off, but neither portion of it is bleeding, *nor* is he screaming in pain, just calmly asking where it went. Is this part of the armor suit functions, or something about Talmi anatomy?

@lavabat – Also, don’t worry too much if you forget something – between all of us, we manage to keep it together – we’re a pretty friendly group, to boot! I can think of a couple times where I put my foot in it, and no one removed my head or anything! Kudos Nik, well summed summation!

@Lavabat I think everyone’d look a little different with bits missing. Even so, I think ‘Saw is taking him, intentional or no, from ‘pampered pretty boy’ right into Bishounen territory.

@Rest Uh, thank you? lol wow, I didn’t realize someone else was trying to answer at same time, just trying to help, and make up for lack of real activity lately…

…two fraken minutes…wow…
