Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst.
Reichu: Okay, now that we're in the last minute of power, the plug interior turns red and stays that way. But again, this isn't any sort of scheme they actually plan to be consistent about in the future.
Mr. Tines: (286~288) From more robotic than Rei to screaming amok in seconds. Presumably this is why he's still functional come 299. So far both combats have been won when someone loses it completely like this.
Reichu: Following fast on the heels of Shinji's little scare at the end of episode #02, Ogata-san once again demonstrates her inhuman lung capacity. Starting with 299, we'll actually be hearing a prolonged screaming session — not quite as bone-chilling as some of the Bloodcurdling Cries Of The Damned she'll be giving us later, but unsettling nonetheless.
On an aside, I wonder what technicality prevents the Eva from roaring in unison with her pilot. There has to be some measure in place that determines what neural feedback from the pilot (whether 'imagined' or actually performed, as with the gun triggers and turns of the head to survey the surroundings) is to be replicated by the pilot and what isn't, such as speech. Can you imagine the Evas repeating everything the pilots say in the cockpit? That would have been hi-larious.
On a related note, I wonder if there is any kind of synchronicity with physiological/psychological changes? For instance, pilot gets adrenaline rush and so does Eva, or vice versa. The pilots react to the Evas' pain, but would the opposite happen, if, say, Shinji stubbed his toe on the interior? But I'm getting way off topic.
