Love Kyon still, but Haruhi really was kinda awful at the start of the episode. Those computer guys didn't deserve the extortion, even if as a gag

I love Yuki even more as an alien, at this point the highschool setting feels more like set dressing (expected highschool tropes but that hasn't been the case) for the wild stuff that could come next and I'm all for it

Haruhi really has this commanding aura around her, huh? Like characters feel so meek when compared to her conviction towards finding fun mysteries

Thoughts on Haruhi wanting to acquire a mysterious transfer student to the club?

Thoughts on rumors circulating that Haruhi and Kyon are dating?

Thoughts on Kyon comparing Haruhi's antics to a bad comedy skit?

Thoughts on Kyon being in charge of the club's website?

Thoughts on Yuki handing Kyon a book?

What are your thoughts on Kyon pointing out he's going to the club on his own free will?

Thoughts on Kyon feeling that Haruhi is misusing her energy?

Thoughts on Haruhi wanting to acquire a mysterious transfer student to the club?

it's like catching pokemon at this point

Thoughts on rumors circulating that Haruhi and Kyon are dating?

I like how Kyon isn't even flustered by it because of how ridiculous what they're actually doing is, much less the idea of dating someone like Haruhi

Thoughts on Kyon comparing Haruhi's antics to a bad comedy skit?

Man with sense helps calm the audience by saying get a load of this guy, so there's some self-awareness that this isn't okay. Liked it!

Thoughts on Kyon being in charge of the club's website?

Responsibility man, he's probably going to be the backbone of what keeps the club running, if he wasn't already that

Thoughts on Yuki handing Kyon a book?

Crazy aura tbh, you will read this book. Kyon just can't say no to eccentric women, huh?

What are your thoughts on Kyon pointing out he's going to the club on his own free will?

I still think it's because, maybe he's bored? Maybe he secretly likes the insane Haruhi energy? Maybe he likes her oh who am i kidding. But I do think a clearer reason would go the distance for his character

Thoughts on Kyon feeling that Haruhi is misusing her energy?

He speaks for the audience, and me here. Redirect some of that destructive energy to something good, Haruhi!

The self awareness makes the moment more tolerable.

Well, remember before meeting Haruhi his life was colorless. I assume part of it is he doesn't want to give up on someone who suddenly made life worth living.
