A while doesn't necessarily mean years, though - Shinji was trapped in his Eva for quite a qhile in the series, too. (Wasn't it a month?)
Plenty of time for lots of shit to go down with other characters.

"Well, we are just done with the 75th Angel, Kalel. Boy, that was a tough one. Not the weirdest one we've had, though. There was Manuel, the Hispanic Angel with the Sombrero AT Field. And Brothel, the Angel who... well, we prefer not talking about that. And who can forget Samuel, who attacked us screaming 'I've had enough with these motherfucking humans in the motherfucking planet!' He was kinda badass looking, though."
"... Huh."

I'm guessing that they'll still stick with Shinji and Rei being goo inside of Unit-01, but certainly not for YEARS. Not even Anima did that. So a month like the TV series is certainly possible, and it's enough time that whoever has taken over for NERV to reactivate other "assets" (like Asuka, who was injured) and bring in stuff from Europe again (Mari probably) to shore up whatever defenses are left... which isn't a lot admittedly.

The other thing I'm thinking is perhaps the new Evas and pilots are working directly for Seele. I recently rewatched the second movie and there's a scene where Gendo and Fuyutsuki react with shock upon seeing Unit 06 and comment that officially, there aren't supposed to be any Evangelions past Unit 05.
So I'm thinking Seele is playing dirty, and that's Mari's hidden agenda.

This is bizarre but cool. Supermodel Jourdan Dunn showed up wearing Rei's plugsuit at the Victoria's Secret fashion show this week in New York.

So there's apparently a very geeky fashion designer we should know about.
What is this I don't even...

now I can't stop thinking about a dark-skinned Rei

There's no Part 1, I just thought it was funny at the time.

as Rei? *nerdgasm!*
Interesting, I have the opposite view. Now, they're almost completely different characters (as somebody else pointed out), so the nature of the crush is different from the start.
I just find the effect it has on Soryu more interesting, as Shikinami's just came off as a tsundere crush with little more thought put into it. I don't hate Shikinami, I just don't think they handled this aspect well.

I think it was a little more healthy. I understand that she's a severely damaged young woman but at times her behavior towards Shinji bordered on outright psychotic. See and I heard someone else mention that they found Gendo's behavior in the movies to be OOC, but I have to disagree. I think the fact that he made an effort to reconnect with his son to be a little more nuanced.
It actually makes his behavior even worse in my opinion, since we see he's capable of at least trying to be close to Shinji, and for whatever reason simply doesn't.
I think it's that Gendo feels he's incapable of being close to Shinji because he's afraid of messing him up, like in the original series. It's just that Rei managed to develop more of a backbone, a connection to Shinji strong enough to want to fight on his behalf. If Series!Rei had taken action to try and bring Shinji and Gendo closer together, I think Gendo would have at least given it a try.
It'd probably be as awkward as hell, though; if EoE is to be believed, he too is the victim of the Hedgehog's Dilemma, which is how he wasn't able to connect with Shinji in the first place. Whether this is still true in Rebuild is yet to be shown.

Interesting. The pink Eva is apparently Unit 08, not 07. Must've undergone a pretty drastic redesign from the artists since the teaser at the end of the second movie.
aahh... I like the old one's design better
in an almost unrelated note, that was fast

Well, yeah. There's a chance that theory is legit: the Misato bit after 2.0 mentions that Shinji and Rei are trapped in the Eva, and according to Evageeks one of the other trailers suggests pretty much everyone involved with NERV gets arrested, which could leave Shinji and Rei hanging for a good while.
