It's pretty much a recap episode, just skip to the halfway point then it gets kind of interesting. After this, evangelion really dives deep into the characters.

turning point of Evangelion

This was halfway recap episode, and in another half, it's just a stepping stone of after episodes. We can hear lots of proper nouns, and I'm wondering what they're meaning.

Seems the more psychological half of the show will (not) be any better

Here we have a recap episode. These things are hardly necessary nowadays with DVDs and such but they don't seem entertaining anyway. After recapping taking up half of the episode Rei then goes on a big stream of consciousness round of psychobabble which contains the line ''I am myself.'' One of the worst lines in anime history and in what people have so often touted as one of, if not the best anime. During testing Eva 01 goes nuts (oh come on, another mech malfunction?) and tries to kill Rei after she supposedly tried to invade Shinji's mind (how the pilot's mind and the machine are so connected I don't understand).
