Dr. Nick: Oh boy, this scene. As much as I generally like the DC additions, this lake scene is just incongruous in so many ways.
It introduces the apparent plot hole of Kaworu being informed of where Adam's body actually is.
It features a wrong number of Seele monoliths.
Even the art direction is busted, as the angel statue's visual consistency just goes out of the window. In the original on-air scene, it looks like a plausible bit of public art, whereas in here it's this grotesque foreshadowing monster.
And since the scene in question is a later addition, the usual production crunch explanation doesn't hold water. Was some new staff brought over to take care of this particular sequence?
