Reichu: Considering her charge was almost killed a moment ago, Misato's mien is alarmingly casual.
MDWigs: It's supposed to be! She's the cool older woman.
Gundampilotspaz: I'm sure she is just as scared as Shinji is even though she doesn't show it.
HeWhoPostsStuff: Seriously, when giant rampaging creatures are crushing things only feet away from you and blastingaway entire armies without trying, what've you got to lose in spewing some cheesy action-hero lines? Heck, you're not gonna find a better opportunity than that to do so, not to mention you might not live long enough to get a second shot at it in that situation.
OMF: You know, the whole design of the car, and especially Misato's sunglasses, always remind me of Doc Brown in Back to the Future, away to whisk our clueless hero offon a whirlwind sci-fi adventure. "Shinji! You got to come back with me!", "Back where?!", "Back to your Father!", "... this is heavy."
Dr. Nick: I think her sunglasses look a lot like [../images_random/tylor_shades.jpg Captain Tylor's famous shades] . Luckily for Nerv, she's a slightly more responsible character than him (but not by much).
thewayneiac: It's also possible thatTylor secretly knows exactly what he's doing; you can't really say that about Misato at this point.
Reichu: Well, at least I'm not the only one whose brain makes associations where none exist. ;) :wonders if Shinji wears "Calvin Klein" undies:
