Prologue (aka "Starring Jaden Smith as Shinji Ikari???")

What were the hosts first experiences with Evangelion like? How do they feel about the show's repuation for being depressing/incomprehensible? Do they agree that Shinji should just "get in the robot already?" James and "Doc" break down their thoughts on the series before diving into episodic commentary.
