Ahh, I was just making sure. And yeah, I highlighted that part but I guess I wasn't too clear.
Spoiler for Mikuru:
Man, I feel sorry for Mikuru. On top of all the abuse she's had she'll most likely get unrequited love as well. ^^;
Poor girl.
In any case, I rate this ep. a 9. Great, but I liked ep. 2 better and that was a 10. Real funny stuff again, Haruhi's awesome and totally nuts at the same time, and you can't help feeling sorry for Mikuru...
I kinda feel sorry for everyone. kyon is getting kicked around mercilessly by haruhi, haruhi is sort of dissapointed in that nothing is happening, and mikuru..

Hear, hear. This is one of the rare cases where I don't want
Spoiler:
the male lead to hook up with the female lead. It's impossible though especially with a show where the title is based on the name of the lead female's name.

Spoiler for not sure why we're spoiling this:
I haven't read the novels, but I'm not entirely sure that should be a problem. I'm pretty sure this isn't, strictly speaking, a romance, so there's no real reason to hook Kyon up with Suzumiya. I would think there's a better than even chance that Kyon doesn't really hook up with anyone.

Spoiler:
Based on some of the comments kyon made in episode one, it might not be. It seems like there might be some relationship there, or at least the prelude to one. Of course, having not read the novels it's speculation, so why am I using spoiler tags?
Anyway, while it was a good episode, it just doesn't have the same rewatch value as one or two, so I rated it one point lower. As for the scene with the computer club, it was clearly their fault. If they hadn't resisted in the first place, they might have gotten away with giving Haruhi an older computer. However, they made things difficult on themselves and forced her to extort their latest model. Or maybe not...

We should just mark the whole thread SPOILERS!!!! BEWARE!!!
Spoiler:
Maybe "hook up" isn't the right word .... but "comrades in loonytown".
I can certainly see Kyon drifting towards Mikuru only to be pulled back by a Haruhi-quake leaving Kyon a little like the Saturnian moons ..... backn'forth never quite arriving at either girl. All are necessary for the maximum amount of "fun overload".
That drawing in the novel is certainly intriguing (no I haven't gotten past the first chapter though on my own) of Kyon and Suzumiya.

well.... you know what they say....mmm....what was it again? oh yeah.
"opposites attracts?"
All i can say is:
Kyon I SALUTE YOUR NOBLE SACRIFICE FOR ALL LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE¬!
ah. sorry if i sound like i know something. these are all just speculations. please ignore them.
Hmm, I failed to really put this on the top of my head but Haruhi's VA really came out on top for this episode, whereas Mikuru has taken top awards for the first 2.
Every time she makes that sound with that evil smile smile of her's, I feel all warm and tingly.
I do wonder where she learned such ruthless extortion tactics though.
well.... you know what they say....mmm....what was it again? oh yeah.

I have no idea what to spoiler and what not to anymore.
Spoiler for ALL SPOILERS MUST GO AT CLEARANCE PRICES!:
I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying Kyon couldn't, eventually, at some juncture, hook up with Haruhi. I'm not saying he's not attracted to Haruhi (I would think he would have to be at some level to keep putting up with her). I'm just saying it's not the point of the series. In the same way, while there's a chance in Bleach we'll find out if Ichigo hooks up with Inoue or Rukia, it really wouldn't be a surprise if they just don't show it. It's not an essential part of the plot. Spurious. Irrelevant. Could be completely left out and still make a good show. It was a response to the post that said

Hook up has become my new favorite catchphrase, thank you dxgarten.

Probably better safe than sorry, next thing we know some guys will come in and complain about how were spoilering episode 3 for them.
Spoiler:
Though it's clear that he's defintely attracted to Haruhi, though with episode 3 he seems defintely attracted to Yuki. I mean the guy did notioned about how it would be nice to see her in a bunny outfit.
But it wouldn't be bad for Kyon and Haruhi to hook up but of course, you never know, he might not hook up with anyone of that matter.
THough with this show, any crazy thing is possible

(corrected the name, d'oh)
I think Kyon is a normal guy who prefers to see pretty women and is just realizing in his gut that he's surrounded by three women who are each very pretty in their own way. ... blame the bunny suits I guess
I think Haruhi is a normal guy who prefers to see pretty women and is just realizing in his gut that he's surrounded by three women who are each very pretty in their own way. ... blame the bunny suits I guess

Indeed! It seems that I go to school for several hours and I return to find that ep 3 discussion has become a spoiler hell
RedFrame, I feel your pain.

But Haruhi is obviously more fun that Mikuru, Kyon would probably end up bored rather than serving as a slave to Haruhi

Spoiler for maybe spoiler this because the quoted text is spoilered:
Well in that case, wouldn't he also be attracted to Mikuru since he's basically been talking about protecting her throughout the first parts of the episode. I think that Kyon's attraction to Yuki and Mikuru (and even Haruhi as mentionned before that there has to be some degree of attraction for Kyon to keep putting up with Haruhi) stems from the fact that Kyon is a guy and his checking out the girls around him is only a subsect of the male archetype. I mean come on, there isn't a guy on the planet that hasn't checked out a cute girl before right?
Yet again, it's Kyon's narrative that makes him very easy to realte to.
Edit: Bah I'm slow, Vexx already beat me to the punch >.<

Well, you know that there's going to be Futanari Haruhi Doujin at *some* point.
Might as well be weirded out by it now.
*shudder*
Ah.. so thats the real reason why Haruhi enjoys stripping Mikuru!
About who Kyon could possibly be attracted to... I don't see why they particularly need to be 'spoilered' since all of the discussion above mainly draw from the 3 episodes to date and noone has jumped in with a novel reference. The sub is already out so there's also no worry about raw watchers/sub watchers time lag...
