I'm even more in the dark on that score, never having seen more than tiny fragments of the original. I mean, I'm not even clear on why Gendō was put in command of NERV in the first place. I guess he did design the EVAs, but shouldn't that just put him in the Dr. Shen role?

(The road not taken, at least by anything I've read: it's all on the adults -- Misato, Maya, and maybe also Ritsuko and Kaji -- to figure out that Gendō/SEELE's plan is all kinds of bad for humanity and put a stop to it. Yeah, the Children are the main characters in the original, but they're fourteen-year-old kids and they've got enough on their plates.)

I was mostly thinking about the pacing of the writing there, not the release schedule, but I guess the two are pretty closely tied.

Mm. I owe you an apology for a cranky email sent at some point in season 3, come to think of it. It's been so long that I can't remember what I said or why, but it was uncalled for.
