I love the joke cuts like Fuyutski's 'I'll look forward to good results' to the EMERGENCY blare and 'Maybe to it's Ritsuko's fault?' - 'It's not my fault.'

Also kind of the last. :(

Now that I've rewatched it, yeah it's pretty fun. I might check out the dub tomorrow.

Other good stuff: this is the first time all three kids actually work together and Asuka being surprising good at coming up with a plan to defeat the Angel on her own.

More good stuff: I like how quickly the angel is defeated. Lesser shows could have padded it out by showing Shinji struggling for another minute or two but the actual operation on screen goes just as quickly as they implied.

It's all those small details that really make the monster of the week segments unique.

True, though it's my least favourite angel not because of how weak it is, but because I really don't like harvestmen spiders!

I love how there's no real pattern to the Angels, sure a disproportionate amount of them attack from the sea but you know sometimes you find one in a volcano or it just somehow appears in orbit....

so in the first few episodes rei's eva is orange, but now it's blue

is it ever explained why this is (upgrades? repairs?) or is it just so she can better contrast with asuka

This is probably the actual reason (Notice how Asuka and Rei completely antithetical designs- Rei has blue hair and red eyes, Asuka has red hair and blue eyes etc.), but in the show I think it's said to be repainted or something.

It's an overhaul after its armor melted against the octahedron angel. Not only is it a different colors, it now has the shoulder fins, which it didn't before

edit: Though I will say, I prefer it in orange

Do I start marathoning right now to catch up before the next session, or do I have some time to read the thread and stuff?

Episode 12 feels like the pivot from mostly being monster-of-the-week sci-fi action with the characters' motivations in the background to a show dealing primarily with its characters, and oh yeah there are robots. Flashback, conversation, and nonverbal interaction were drawn out, and robot action was compressed. I suppose it's a pivot rather than a deviation only because I (vaguely) recall what's coming up, though.
