Spoiler for Thoughts after finishing Novel 4:

First of let me just say that it was a mistake for me to start on Vol. 4 in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks to the story I have not slept a wink and have class in an hour and a half One of the few books that have strung my emotions along with what happens to the characters so well...

1. I think there's a tiny bit more support for the Mysterious Sign to appear in the episode list because there is a small reference in Vol. 4 to something Yuki said in Mysterious Sign that helps to explain something. Mysterious Sign also hints particularly strongly at the motivation for "someone" to do what happens in Vol 4. Not to say it isn't hinted at elsewhere but I think it is given the most emphasis in Mysterious Sign.

2. And I think that if they want to do Vol 4's ending, they have to do Vol 1's ending. Or else the explanation of where a certain "someone" 'acquired/mimicked' the power to do what happens in Vol 4 would kind of fall flat without the prior 'precedent' of Vol 1.

やっと四券まで辿り着いた...

読み終わったか、おめでとう~。さあ、あとは八巻(涼宮ハルヒの憤慨)が発売される前に既刊全巻を読破する こと。ちなみに憤慨の発売日は04/28だそうです。（￣∇￣）ﾉ(Amazon)

Spoiler for volume 4:

1. If we're just trying to show the motivation (or rather, cause) of that "someone" for doing the things in vol.4., I think Endless Eight would probably be a much better choice over Mysterious Sign. After all, Mysterious Sign wasn't all THAT much of a problem, and it ended quickly, causing minimal "disturbance" for that "someone". Endless Eight, on the other hand, probably would've drove any normal human being crazy if they were placed in that "someone"'s position.

2. Perhaps, I'm not saying it won't happen. In fact, I want to see them do volume 1's ending (a dere Haruhi only comes once in a blue moon, after all). It's up to them how to distribute the episodes though. I just hope they can get some of those short-stories in too.
