It sucks running into your boss on the train. But what really sucks is then learning you’re part of the deep state and the government and democracy are fake when you just wanted to read your paper. And, is there a long lost unrecognizable “olde English” dub of Eva (no). We find more opportunity to talk about Anno and our own, love of power lines and the small town nostalgia they speak to. Steph starts to see the humor in Asuka repeatedly destroying Shinjis self esteem via a Peanuts metaphor. Then we explore why old men might put their feet in water buckets at the office. Josh takes an aside to appreciate getting sound designs in space right and gives the lore on the founding of Gainax and what it had to do with Electric Light Orchestra. And finally Shinji lands on a reason to live… and it ain’t necessarily a good one.
