After all, it has been suggested before that instead of being thrown it was in a "homing missile mode", being controlled by someone.
Well, I remember in the Kyo/Yui thread Ornette suggested that Yui was the one who used ATF magic to impale Kyo from down in her bakelite "prison" (yeah, whatever
), but I thought it made oodles more sense if EVA-05 (the "Last One) used her own ATF Magic (since the harpies DO actually have it, amazingly enough!) in an attempt to backstab her aggressor. Since, you know, those harpies suck far too much to actually fight a REAL Eva in hand-to-hand combat. (No offense, Treize X, but they do. That's what happens when you're produced fast, cheap, and ... yeah.)As for it getting her neatly through the head -- well, I guess it just sort of happened that way. They do seem to do a lot of things automatically, but the general trend seems to be that they need a "master" to get them going. The "homing" part seems to work, in a sense, in that you might be able to just throw it and, as long as you are somewhat accurate and it knows where it's supposed to be going, it will get the job done. Those FAR, they were obviously very bored when they made these things.
You know, throw them, be sort of accurate about it, and they'll do the rest. The whole thing about them having a will doesn't seem to fit, so I need to look into that and make sure it's not my Broken Japanese at work. The show itself seems to tell us that "obey their master". Need a single sharp point, e.g. for slaying Armisael or giving Yui big gaping holes in her palms? (Poor Keel clearly didn't do his research on crucifiction. lol n00b) Or will the default bident form suffice? Or what if you've become the Ultimate Being and you need it to become this Infinity Symbol-looking thing for reasons Reichu hasn't quite worked out yet? Just let the Spear know, and it'll take care of the rest!
The FAR were obviously very bored when they made these things. Too bad we don't get to see Adam's original and what it could do. Man, what I'd give to see Adam and Lilith's bitch fight in full animation with booming classical music in the background! Because, really, you can't have any other kind of music playing to something like that. "Dies Irae", maybe? Something with a chorus, anyway.
No, no, you're doing it wrong!
Lilith: "You found me beautiful once."
Adam: "Honey, you got real ugly."
Forgive me! I forgot!That holds fairly scary implications for their relationship back on the HomeWorld. Well, I guess you can be a mom and a lesbian at the same time.
They still look a tad big to me... Also, if the Rei-clones were just pulled out of Lilith, where does Yui's genome enter the equation then?
Rei 1 was formed as an inadvertent product of the salvage operation (Yui Juice + Lilith's Soul --> Rei). After Baasan throttled her pale little neck, Gendo made his PWM-based Rei-tachi by "seeding" Lilith. (It might be kind of similar to how Armisael was attempting to recreate the Apostles out of EVA-00 in their adult, image-shifted forms. Just a thought, anyway.) Not going to say anymore, because I'm not entirely sure yet, but I think I at least have a fairly solid idea of what Ritsuko is "babbling" about during the Reiquarium sequence.

Isn't it the other way around? (And there's someone else who's pretty flat, too, but people like that one even less than Adam being a chick. Sigh.)
Heh heh. I dunno, what part of "(H. sapiens) – (Mammalia) + (Cores, Etc.)" is difficult to grasp? (@ The Faithless, not you, of course.) Hell – most mammal females are "flat", unless they're lactating. We're the ones who are messed up.

See?
The question is: Where did it go? Hmm, I think that circumcising EVA-01's core was a critical part of Seele's plans, you know, being weird religious fanatics and all! </irony>
