This episode has one of the best scenes in the first season.

Well. That was certainly a thing that just happened. More interestingly, it seemed to happen basically independently of Haruhi.

...Or did it?

His superpower is rolling with the loving punches, Jesus Christ. Not to be a broken record but Kyon is just taking all this poo poo in motherfucking stride.

It's funny that this episode is the one that feels most like a "filler" episode. At least to me, it always felt the least consequential.

We at least got a little more context on closed spaces and about as definite proof as this show seems likely to give us regarding everyone's powers.

Yeah. I guess it points to Kyon's importance and is supposed to flesh out Nagato a bit, but eh

Yeah, it's probably more just because I have the context of the rest of the show where everything discussed and teased at here is given lots more showtime later in the series. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that

Kyon, quick, but your sister back in her bag.

Also, suicide is obviously on the table for the murder. It's just as obviously not what really happened.

Yeah, it really is. The shot with Kyon and the window's shadow is fantastic.

Also, Butler's being cagey. Don't think he's strong enough to stab a dude through a book though.
