The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (TV).

You know it's funny. I forgot that this was episode "14" (didn't know until I started reading everyone's posts), and I was thinking "This would probably make for a nice ending to the series." Go figure. We only have 4 episodes left right?

No one has posted any official sources for the supposed 14 episode count, so its validity is questionable at best.

Go figure. We only have 4 episodes left right? And unless I'm missing something (haven't kept much track of the "real" episode order), the later eps. will actually occur earlier in the series. If that's the case then it seems like the series won't be going where people thought it would be. I know that my friend and I thought that it was going to be revealed that at least in this world Haruhi is essentially god but she doesn't know, and that we'd delve more into Nagato, Asahina, and Koizumi in terms of at least why each of their stories about Haruhi differ. Then again going that far into it may just not be fitting for the series (it's not like they're completely shrouded in mystery) which makes sense. But then again it is possible that in these last 4 eps. those will somehow be addressed. After all I don't believe Kyon has gone to "that place" yet (episode 4). We'll just have to see.

As far as the student film, earlier I believe my theory was that the film was actually going to show how Haruhi changed the world with her power. But after this episode, I have some new thoughts on it. One is that it could be Haruhi's clairvoyance what will happen in time. Another could be that she decided to place the various members of the SOS Brigade in their respective roles because as Koizumi said Haruhi unconciously willed such people to be drawn to her, and so on that same note she unconciously placed them in roles that were fitting Also maybe, especially because Koizumi wishes to constantly please Haruhi either he or all of them suggested which roles they should take on. The film would be their way of saying that even though she doesn't know it she really has come into contact and has met the sort of people she had wished to meet.

The 14 episode count will hold true (and very shocking and disappointing) until all those inner episodes that were missed are filled in and all the episodes are accounted for. Because for a series as pointless (and good) as this one, 14 episodes, and that ending, would be a painful way to end off. But I assume that 14 would be the last episode because all those series' that seem like they would be successful always throw a crap ending and lose all the potential they had. This could be one of those serieses.

eh? He seems pretty confident as a blogger that 14 was the final episode. Ouch. I don't like the look of this.

edit 2: still not official, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya

says 14 episodes in the section on the TV show in the right border column.

The card game that Kyon and Itsuki play in the beginning of Episode 9 includes cards depicting Gourry, Lina Inverse, and Nagi the Serpent from Slayers and Feris Eris from Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu. The Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, Slayers, and Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu novels are all published by Kadokawa.

Episode 9/14 was the show I fell in love with. I found the whole thing to be brilliantly executed, from the costuming changing scene to the reading scene (was the dialogue from a club in another room? The last bit of dialogue seemed a bit fuzzy sounding, and there was a radio sitting to the corner of the screen, but I don't know if there's any connection between the two). I think I like Haruhi more subdued and quiet like this. It's easily one of my favorite episodes, if not my favorite so far.

Yeah. Personally, I believe (you know, just out of belief itself), that the show will have 27 episodes. and the number 15,698 adds up to 27.

hmm.. forgive me if I have totally misinterpreted what you have said, but.... does
1 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 8 really add up to 27????

It's new math.
