Ah, yes. Eva threads where we are discussing such philosophical matters.

I have a question in regards to Advice and Trust. Do you think this will come up during the final battle against Seele?
Living Is More than Surviving
Living Is More than Surviving
Unlikely given how the battle against it is as much about survival as everything else.

Good point. That would be more for a post impact world. Here is a different question. Do you think the Dead sea scrolls would busrt into flames is there supposed prophecy is proven wrong?
Might make for a neat plot twist. Like the consequences Loki and Bartleby mentioned in Dogma, only with a good outcome.

Nah. I figure they're really just the "never do this" section of a technical manual, with a universal translator attached.

It took me a while to remember that plot point. When I asked that question, I was thinking about a manga I read years ago. Here is a paraphrased quote of it.
"The scrolls are glowing and feel hot. Is that a sign that some one has a real chance of defying the prophecy"?

Kaworu: "Think of them as the operating instructions for something not unlike a Culture General Systems Vessel..."
Shinji: "A what?"
Kensuke: "I'll explain later."
Kaworu: "... that has been translated into Ancient Sumerian by someone who didn't understand any of the technical jargon, then got translated into Classical Greek by someone who didn't understand Sumerian as well as they thought they did, and then fell into the hands of a doomsday cult."
Gendo: "Many, many things suddenly make sense now."

Sounds not unlike how I, as a Christian, try to explain to my fellows why taking the Bible literally is an incredibly bad idea.
NGE is all about grabbing prophecy by the balls (so long as it does not add to Misato's paperwork).

Is there any kind of action that doesn't add more paper work? I'm not talking about Misato's but in general; there's always more paper work.
Doing paperwork, most of the time.

Are you sure about that? The bureaucracy is expanding to fulfil the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

Doing paperwork leads to using papers, and usually pens (if not printer ink), and in any of those steps things can break, and in an organisation, fixing them requires more paperwork, so I'm imagining Hal fixing the light bulb.
I DO NOT envy the poor guy.
Heh.
Reminds me—as with a number of my own fics, the one I'm planning that's an EVA/Get Smart crossover has a 'dub cast' made up of comedians, sitcom alumnus, and VAs from many comedic anime. Which leads me to a bit of a puzzler maybe one of you could settle…
Bryan Cranston or Ty Burrell as Gendo?
Make them arm wrestle for it!
Also known as the John von Neumann self-replicating space shenanigans. Something right up NGE / late game A&T alley.

For what you're aiming for, I'd say Ty Burrell. Evoking Bryan Cranston conjures images of Walter White more than Dr. Tim Whatley or Hal - and suddenly the idea of Bryan Cranston performing as Gendo becomes compelling - if played straight. But for what you're looking for: it'd have to be Ty Burrell.

Since I've seen exactly 1 episode of CG, probably not!
Quite certainly, though it might take place behind the scenes. Not a lot of world powers would want to cop to their government being controlled by an apocalypse cult that nearly won.
This. There's nothing mystical about them. Just a badly understood alien manual for How Not To Use The Progenitor Module.
Give me a few hours, I'll try to write something!
