i agree wholeheartedly. I've seen almost no subtle clues so far that,
once we finish the show, we'll be able to rewatch it and see things
where we go, "OH, now i get what that was for," etc. say what you will
about eva but there were so many things that maybe we didn't get the
first time around, but in the last few episodes (not 25 or 26, lol),
such as "the birth of nerv" and the ones where we find out their true
objectives and how everything comes together... after watching those we
can go back to those earlier episodes and see how all the little details
connected. granted eva isnt the best example here but i'm kinda spacy
today and it's what came to my mind first.

I have no problem with the writers 'saving stuff' for season two. What I do
have a problem with is that there aren't even the smallest hints about where
season two is going. And since it's already pretty much known that season two
is the end of the series, I would expect the writers to have a vague idea about
where they plan to end up. You don't have to telegraph the entire story, but
good writers know how to use various plot elements to drop hints and clues that
keep the audience interested.
For instance, Deus Ex Machina is widely mocked, and for good reason. It's poor story
telling to have someone or something literally appear out of nowhere and save the day. A
good writer will drop hints (even vague ones) so that at the very least the viewers can
look back and say, "Oh, so THAT'S what that meant!" Then the viewer kicks him
or herself for not understanding the hint when it appeared. But in episode 16 we get
Deus Ex Machina instead.

I don't understand where people think he's pulling this all out of his ass.
I think people seem to forget that season one is a segway into season two,
so not much is SUPPOSE to be explained in this season. Personally I have no
problem with it whatsoever. I guess most people who are hardened UC seem to
be disappointed with this. I guess the UC elitists just won't die.
