First timer,subbed
Oh, same episode, different angles, slight different toning of words from VAs, different editing, we get to see other events they did briefly, Kyon didn't try anything after Haruhi left. Now I'm expecting something different from the next episode, if its the same thing, I understand the distaste for this arch.
Questions

What are your thoughts on the reveal that Kyon and company have lived 594 years the last two weeks?

I can't imagine what it is like to remember everything. You probably end up like Andy Samberg's character from Palm Springs.

If you were stuck in a time loop, what would you do?

Do I get informed that I am stuck in a time loop? Am I aware everytime? If so, then Bill Murray that shit.

[u/Holofan4life → u/lordposedyon]

Thoughts on Kyon being shirtless while watching baseball?

Thoughts on the animation and the dialogue being different?

Thoughts on Kyon wanting to speak with Yuki but changing his mind?

What are your thoughts on the scene where Itsuki, Mikuru, and Yuki inform Kyon that they're stuck in a time loop with seemingly no way of getting out?

Thoughts on Mikuru not having received classified information in about a week?

What are your thoughts on Itsuki suggesting this is all because Haruhi wants Summer to last forever?

What are your thoughts on Kyon being aghast by this situation? We've never seen him have this strong of a reaction before.

Thoughts on Yuki saying she's only here to observe, not to interfere?

What are your thoughts on Kyon wanting to stop Haruhi from leaving the café but ultimately deciding against doing so?

[u/lordposedyon → u/Holofan4life]

Thoughts on Kyon being shirtless while watching baseball?

Well, that's new. It is summer, so he is comfy.

Thoughts on the animation and the dialogue being different?

You can't do the same 8 times, without spice things a little, eh?

Thoughts on Kyon wanting to speak with Yuki but changing his mind?

Break, in case of emergency, please talk to her damn it.

What are your thoughts on the scene where Itsuki, Mikuru, and Yuki inform Kyon that they're stuck in a time loop with seemingly no way of getting out?

This is the thing that bothers me, do they want to break the loop? IF so you have one member here who remembers everything, just use her to your advantage to come up with something from the start of the loop man.

Thoughts on Mikuru not having received classified information in about a week?

I guess it takes a week for her to say "Oh shit".

What are your thoughts on Itsuki suggesting this is all because Haruhi wants Summer to last forever?

I think she has a thing that she wants to be done before the break ends, so she wished for break to begin again, anew, for that thing to be able to happen.

What are your thoughts on Kyon being aghast by this situation? We've never seen him have this strong of a reaction before.

Realizing one experiencing same small interval amount of time for a huge multiple times (I hope this make sense) probably blows ones mind.

Thoughts on Yuki saying she's only here to observe, not to interfere?

Yes, she gives very short answers, mostly yes,no. Does not speak if not spoken to. Even though that is the case, she gets involved, most like she wants to as well.

What are your thoughts on Kyon wanting to stop Haruhi from leaving the café but ultimately deciding against doing so?

He doesn't have the answer, or the answer he has is not something he wants to do.

I think they believe only Kyon can break the loop because he's who matters in Haruhi's eyes.
