Unless I'm mistaken, episode 23 saw the debut of this iconic shot. Look familiar at all?[ATTACH=full]10392[/ATTACH]Nadia island shoreline[ATTACH=full]10393[/ATTACH]Shoreline from The End of Evangelion* * * * *Episode 24I loved the electric guitar version of the theme tune that played during the scene where Jean is unloading supplies from the jettisoned captain's cabin. He's so busy and moving at such a fast pace back and forth that he actually bumps into himself! I thought that was hilarious. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😆" title="Grinning squinting face    :laughing:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f606.png" data-shortname=":laughing:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up    :thumbsup:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" data-shortname=":thumbsup:" />[ATTACH=full]10394[/ATTACH]Truly, for me, this episode works as a genuinely effective pisstake of Nadia's awful personality. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😅" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" />Particularly the bit where she has some "difficulties" trying to open the tins of potatoes she's stolen from the camp Jean's single-handedly set up:[ATTACH=full]10395[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]10396[/ATTACH]Also hilarious was this brief sequence that happened in Jean's imagination:[ATTACH=full]10397[/ATTACH]Marie is Gargoyle, and King is Captain Nemo! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing    :rofl:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" data-shortname=":rofl:" />* * * * *Episode 25Jeez, this episode's on the money, too. I think Anno's stand-in's far more aware of Nadia's character than he is himself. God, she's so annoying. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😅" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" />* * * * *Episode 26This fantastical outing contains the Thunderbirds reference [USER=159]@Professor Irony[/USER] mentioned earlier in the thread. And it's happening behind Anno's back! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear    :scream:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" data-shortname=":scream:" />* * * * *Episode 27It took me until the last of the three olden-style demon illustrations before the penny dropped that it was the Grandis gang that Ayerton was referring to. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😅" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" />Again, I've got to say that the punchline landed really well for me.(continues)</blockquote>
