I like history. I don't know why, or how long I have. Maybe it grew from my fondness for classic music and movies. Maybe it's just math -- there's a lot more "back then" than there is "right now," so there's a lot more interesting stuff from "back then" ...

Completely off-topic, but "Dr. K" makes me think of a cartoon from several years ago called "Cubix." It was the villain's name. :P

Yeah, I know. Everyone who's seen 1.0 has pretty much all the relevant info. I just thought it might be useful to have a place to go over what's for certain and what's up in the air. Problem is, listing the known facts would be REALLY tedious. Let's see... There is a UN-supervised or...

And what parts of our knowledge of the TV series -- humongous continuity snarl that it is -- might not apply? Is the Classified Information even applicable? In other words, if Rebuild was all there was of the franchise -- meaning right now, 1.0 would be all there was -- what would we know, and what ...

Ah. I'd forgotten the details of the Classified Information.

I think if people did come back from 3I aside from Shinji and Asuka, Misato would probably be the first. Personally, I think the Seeding system was just set up so that the odds against two landing on one planet were astronomical. Earth may have been the only place it ever happened. So the FAR — and ...

...How the hell does she find the time for POETRY, too?!

...to any questions on NGE from Hideaki Anno and/or Gainax in general (your preference, whatever you consider Word of God), what questions would they be? Some ground rules: ⋅ They have to be about in-story matters -- no asking how many cels were used in episode 23'. ⋅ ...

Basically I was saying its pretty cliche and it could work in basically any series or movie, thus shitting it up immensely. Does it help to know that WMG has a running gag about various characters being time lords? Or the idea that everyone who has ever died in fiction was really killed by Altair f...

I just realized something. A big part of all this is the question of what Lilith is capable of PERCEIVING. Does she know anything about what's going on after humanity dawns and then spreads across the Earth? Could she even detect Second Impact, or the subsequent drop in fertility rates? Hell, wa...

Gainax is very inconsistent with their terminology. And I'm still certain that I'm heard Kaworu refer to Adam in the third person.

Hmm... The split. Was that deliberately performed by Gendo, or GEHIRN, or whoever did it? And was the exact scheme of what went where deliberate? Why'd they do it then, and not before Rei I's birth? There's also the question of the 16th Angel. What exactly happened then? The Director'...

Okay, let's try and timeline this thing. 4 BYA: First Impact. Lilith lands on Earth...zomgwtf, there's already a White Moon? Her Lance/Spear/whatsit (I'm hesitant to take that one bit of EoE as overriding everything else) gets wrecked or something, and she goes ahead and starts s...

I suspect there may be something almost akin to conservation of ninjitsu here. I mean, you've got two Seeds, right? Adam's got fifteen kids, whereas Lilith...even if you only count the human population, that's still two or three billion individuals. The S2 organ may come into it as well,...

I'm trying to do some research for a fanfic I'm thinking of, and this is something I'm gonna need to clear up - does Lilith have a motivation? Does she have a conscious, thinking mind, not counting Rei's? All I know is that she's the seed of human life as we know it, diametricall...
