|comment=So begins the cold open to one of the most underrated episodes of Evangelion. From what I've seen, Episode 13 is either ranked among Evangelion's ''worst'' episodes or treated as a middling episode at best, when it packs in more of NGE's backstory than any other episode prior to Episode 21 and ties in directly to EoE's Episode 25'. It's also a long, subtle homage to Michael Crichton's 1969 novel [[Theory_and_Analysis:Episode_13_Similarities_to_The_Andromeda_Strain|The Andromeda Strain]] and [[Tributes_to_Other_Fiction_in_Neon_Genesis_Evangelion#The_Andromeda_Strain|the 1971 film version]] by Robert Wise, so expect me to bring it up a lot. Incidentally, the term "Apoptosis" mentioned in the supplemental dialogue refers to a process of controlled cell death.}}

WOMAN (OFF):“Apoptosis work for the three Evas will be performed as scheduled as soon as the Magi system is reactivated.”

UrsusArctos: So begins the cold open to one of the most underrated episodes of Evangelion. From what I've seen, Episode 13 is either ranked among Evangelion's worst episodes or treated as a middling episode at best, when it packs in more of NGE's backstory than any other episode prior to Episode 21 and ties in directly to EoE's Episode 25'. It's also a long, subtle homage to Michael Crichton's 1969 novel The Andromeda Strain and the 1971 film version by Robert Wise, so expect me to bring it up a lot. Incidentally, the term "Apoptosis" mentioned in the supplemental dialogue refers to a process of controlled cell death.


Zusuchan: Totally agree re: this episode being underrated. It was surprising for me to see it either disliked or treated as a very "meh" work when I first became involved with the larger Eva fandom.
