THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I am re-watching the series right now, and a question came to my mind. Who is the girl in the white dress shown at the beginning of this episode (Remote Island Syndrome - Part 1) and what's the significance of her tearing the letter and photographs? I haven't read the novel and I have no clue. Any idea people?

I think it's a reference to something, anime or movie. It's not at all touched upon by the novels.

From what I know, absolutely nothing. I don't think she really has any significance whatsoever. I've read the books (about a year ago so it really is not fresh in my mind) and I don't remember anything like that. Of course, I'm probably wrong.

I liked that episode... Finally Haruhi gets something interesting. However the next episode probably doesn't follow on due to how baka the broadcast order is, but oh well...

Dude, I watched an episode where Haruhi and Kyon were inside a closed space chronosphere or something. In the end, He kissed Haruhi and they returned back to the old world.

WTF IS THIS?!

I watched the same. And to me it feels right: in the prev.ep. Kyon said that he could not foresee what would happen then (a reference to that 'nightmare' events).

I loved this ep, seeing some real action and Haruhi directly involved was cool, I got quite bored of previous episodes where Haruhi did nothing and everybody around were just speaking of how cool and unique she is.

I hope this anime will get more active from now on.

This episode was amazing. Kyon's little sister is mega cute too.
The closed space scene was kinda awkward but the kiss made me feel all mushy inside, especially when Haruhi wore the ponytail the next day at school. I'm liking this.

I'm re-watching this series in chronological order. This was the "dream" episode, it was my favorite episode when I watched the series, and it still is now, as well as one of the highest points of the series. The atmosphere was just fantastic.

Whowhowhowhohwohwoah, wait, wait! Did actually something just happen in this show? I mean like for real? I just started to like this show in more ways than before. Well, I kinda expected(or at least I hoped) that something is gonna happen, but I didn't even have the hope for something like a real murder to happen.

The idea behind the show(or at least the idea I'm getting) is getting demonstrated better and better. I like where is this going.

Koizumi is my favorite character for sure :D He's just irreplaceable part of the band!

Anyway from how I got my set mixed.. this is episode 10, or the one with the white lady at the beginning at least. (10 in my order out of 28)
So this episode is actually from the first season, then I guess next one (Just watched it, the one that explains this episode) should be a part of season 1 or is that one actually season 2?

Because if that so happen to be season 2, it would have been way to weird.A
Anyway love this show.

Liked this episode although it really got quite involved.
So since everyone is living in the new world that Harachi created it feels like it should end right here but I'm guessing that it won't.

Kyon's little sister is adorable!

This episode was more exciting than the previous one, with the whole nightmare thing. Not sure why Yuki couldn't just tell Kyon to kiss Haruhi in the first place and said sleeping beauty instead. That kiss was nice though. Right now I'm still quite not sure what to think of this series, except that I like the directing/camera work, it's quite different (or I guess more noticeably artistic?) than other anime I've watched. I also like Kyon's narrations. Yuki is also a very interesting character

A closed space was created, all because she was too bored and saw Kyon messing with Asahina. WTH Haruhi.

Remote Island Part 1 - Why was Haruhi hesitating when she arrived at the floor with the masters room? Koizumi has never been at the island, or at least in the manor before either (unless he is lying ofc), so for him to know where the masters room is the butler must have explained it, so Haruhi should have known too.

The others might have only followed Koizumi, though they seemed quite certain where to go, too, as no one even wasted a single moment to look the other direction like "was it left or right again?" despite them being quite a bit behind him.

Did it not look suspicious enough for her expectations, like an open window, noises from one of the rooms, doors flapping or whatever?

That scene was perfect with the glowing giant in the background when they kissed as well as the opera music.
Haruhi felt the world was boring before but only created this after seeing Kyon playing around with Mikuru. Didn't seem to catch this the last time.

> 2009 broadcast order: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part Six <
This episode was originally the ending episode of the first season and
I am confused about the four different orders as well... What was the
purpose of this all? Maybe to draw attention? Hmm... ✿❀✿❀✿❀✿❀✿

However, that kiss was super cute ≧❀‿❀≦ Awwww ★⌒☆★⌒☆★⌒☆
I just kinda had a strange feeling that he did that only for himself, to
get out of that world, which was therefore really selfish and a minus
for him, ಠ_ಠ although I actually liked him by now. But the ending made
up for the previous action. 。◕ ‿ ◕。 I mean him telling her (◡‿◡✿) that
the ponytail ≖‿≖ looked good on her ... ヘ(^_^ヘ)~ (─‿‿─) Kawaii^

fml I can't even go to these threads without getting spoilers



Anyway, the random insert of mystery into what was previously a (mostly) ordinary slice of life series is pretty awesome. I didn't actually expect to see anybody be murdered in a slice of life like this.
