Best episode! Very thought provoking and deep. Why it's so low rated in comparison to others I will never understand.

A bit lacking for a semifinale

I'm not gonna waste your time with a stupid long philosophical review, i hade one big issue with this episode and it is that no matter how 'deep' or well thought out it is, 20 minutes of mostly black screens and characters talking a bit to quickly and confusingly isn't much fun even if the topics are nice when laid out in an essay.
episode for characters' mind

This episode was necessary to understand characters' mind so far, especially Shinji, Misato, and Asuka. How their mind expressed was very nice. But except that, I couldn't understand what was happened and what is happening.
Relativist tripe

Having watched JesuOtaku's review of Evangelion back in the day I was worried about the show spouting relativism (postmodern existentialism as JO called it although both postmodernism and existentialism are both relativist so it seems redundant) and that it would be in the last 2 episodes that it would do it. I thought I was in for a lucky escape but then the 19th minute came along (what is it with Evangelion and things changing in the 19th minute?).
Ritsuko says that ''only what you can feel for yourself right now is fact''. Er no, that's a feeling and the facts don't care about Eva fanboys' feelings.
Fuyutsuki says that ''and your memory of those things will become the truth for you''. Nonsense. There's no such thing as truth for me and truth for you. I remember on youtube someone saying that KWS' cover of Please Don't Go was the original version but when someone pointed out that it was KC and the Sunshine Band who sang the original he said ''Well it was the first for me'' and then the one who had responded to him said that reality doesn't work that way. Our memories are subjective; truth isn't.
Ritsuko says that there are truths that change with time but generally they're less important than the ones that don't. Which political party is in power changes but the fact that humans are tribal doesn't.
After Shinji asks what reality is Rei says it's his world and the Nerv men agree with this. Again this is nonsense. If someone thinks the law of gravity doesn't exist and then jumps out of an airplane at 20,000 feet they'll die no matter how strongly they might not believe in the law of gravity.
I can see why relativists would like Evangelion but if you're not one then don't waste your time on this darn show.
