I actually thought the episode being subdued made it more interesting. It'd go in the mindset of casual disregard for important things, just like Haruhi. The fact that everything is at stake but nobody seems to be acting like it makes it quite distressing. Often times, when people are aware of a problem and powerless to stop it, it often degenerates into apathy. In any case, I felt that came off as less predictable then some epic over the top stuff like EE's conclusion.
