I've just finished the Evangelion series, Death & Rebirth, and The End of
Evangelion. First off, am I missing something here or is Death and Rebirth a
little bit of a waste of time? I  mean the recap it provides of the episodes
are interesting, but the second part is complete on the End of Evangelion
DVD. Its as if you wouldn't miss it if you didn't have it. It does have some
interesting extras on it though.

Number B, what are SEELE's motive's and purposes. I realize they are trying
to bring about the Third Impact and merging all human life into a single
conciousness, but they seem to want the Angel's to do it, this is further
demonstrated by Kawrou being sent by SEELE to merge with Lilith. If they do
want the Angel's to do it then why back an organization like NERV who wants
to prevent the Angel's from reaching Lilith.

Letter 3, why only 14 year old children who have lost there mothers? I
realize that they have to be born a certain amount of time after the Second
Impact, but why is that? The conciousness of their respective mothers seems
to be imbedded in the Evangelion's. Does this cause them to feel a sense of
loss? Or does it allow them to feel more bonded to the Eva?

I have more but this will do for now.
