How on Earth did I miss this?

Watching episodes 1 and 2, I have a vague feeling that a lot of the characterisation hadn't come together yet - Fuyutski's* thinking about how nice Gendo and Shinji's reunion will be pleasant, Misato's larking about doesn't seem quite like her either, and the Instrumentality Committee are full of crap. I also noticed that the geofront apparently has bloody great windows for some reason. And how on Earth do they launch the Evas from under the pyramid to New Tokyo-3.**

On the other hand, the speedboat ride and journey to Unit-01's pen seems like a dream, or a memory, rather than the more objective narration style that happens elsewhere. And it's more political than I remembered, especially the generals shouting stuff like "It didn't work! We need more firepower!". And the direction is really cool.

* In this shot you see him switch from his long face seen from the front, to his more realistic side face, and it looks awful.
** Sounds weird, but I'm sure that's what the sign said...

I think Fuyutski was being deliberately ironic about their reunion.

I thought I was gonna be out tonight so I watched the eps earlier but then plans fell through.

But needless to say the first ep tonight is as excellent as I had remembered it. It's definitely my favorite of the monster of the week section of the show.

First episode has one of the best moments I have ever seen in an anime (I am out of the house, so I watched earlier today)

Asuka ineffectually trying to slam the sliding paper door

Spoiler because I am not 100% sure where it is in the specific episode, but it should be about now.

Shinji's outfit for their "pair look" was just awful. Great episode, though.

The vaginal imagery with the volcano is still pretty hilarious, at least.
