In this episode we get to focus on the character of Rei, who has thus far been an injured and enigmatic presence in the background of the show. Well, she does continue to be an enigma - but definitely a fascinating one.
There is mention that she may be suffering from mental instability. This could have caused the problems with the 00 Eva activation we have seen in earlier episodes.
Shinji's father takes an interesting role here - as the hero and perhaps nurturer of Rei, that he isn't to his own son. It sets up some very intriguing questions about the nature of the father's relationships with these two children. We want to know his mindset in regards to them.
There is a fantastic scene between Shinji & Rei At her home. The way the scene is constructed is masterful and evokes a great sense of frustrated desire and sexual mystery and confusion.
The penguin doesn't like his curry. Cute moment.
