Okay, now I'm really not understanding Evangelion.

Shinji watched Rei squeeze water out of a rag and then told her a few hours later that she was watching her squeeze that rag because it reminded him of how a mother would do it and then proceeded to say that Rei would be a great mother.

Then, we find out that it was the 11th anniversary of Shinji's mothers death, he laments over her grave with his father then goes home. Several hours after that, Asuka asks him to kiss her because she's bored, when Shinji refuses she then tries to convince him by saying "What, are you afraid to kiss a girl on the anniversary of your mother's death?"

There's less action than there ever was before. Well, less fighting action but more "action" action.

I mean, I'm 15 episodes in right now, the series ends at 26. Not a lot is going on sans an Angel every episode.

I kind of feel the same way. I'm 10 episodes in and most of what this show has going for it is awkward teen moments and awesome robot fights with awkward teen moments. But it's all worth it for those lovely, lovely mechs...
