Gendo has a big closet :)
 

 Heh.  The Elder Sign drained some of their MPs to power its protective 
 nature.

It's also important to note that this now radically alters the porperties of 
the Elder Sign (Rei shouldn't be able to get NEAR it, let alone touch it) 
which means that John is being creative again, which means we're flying 
blind. Should be interesting.

An Elder sign is not a crucifix, and if Rei was repulsed by them, she'd
have a hard time coming near Misato :)

 That meshes with the list on the CoaEG page (which needs updating, BTW).  
 Hastur, Yig, Tsathoggua, Y'golonac, Shudde-M'ell, Cthugha, Daoloth, 
 Nyarlathotep, Cthulhu, Azathoth.

Azathoth is not on the list, which means that R & J have added one we don't 
know about. Of course, Jet-Alone could always show up and count as an 
Angel.....

It means he didn't count the one who shows up in this episode, but whom
the heroines and heroes had not met at this point when Rei says 'Ten'.

Remember, in the Lovecraft Universe, this isn't trivia; this is HISTORY. The 
Johannsen Narrative, Livre d'Eibon, al-Azif.... all those things are 
legitimate histoical tomes in this universe.

Yep.
   

This is the Mythos!!! You're ALLOWED to make up new stuff when you write a 
new story!! Hell, the Mythos has such a jumbled internal continuity and 
inconsistency (The only way it's coherent at all is due to Chaosiums efforts 
to lump the stories into 'cycles') that you almost have to make new stuff up 
if you want to, or can ignore things if you want. Think Derleth was an idiot? 
Ignore his stroies!!!! Want the Elder Things to NOT be extinct like it says 
in MoM? Go nuts!!!! Think Randolph Carter is alive and well and living in a 
trailer in Memphis with Elvis and Salmon Rushdie? Do that too!!!  

Well, Mountains of Madness showed they weren't quite extinct yet...at
least not by a handful :)
