I've read the first chapter of Kyogaku. Suzumiya's got to be the most clueless girl I've ever seen. And I would never imagine that she's a good cook.

What do you mean? There's a fansub doing it? And does anybody know if the games are written by Tanigawa? If it is so, I think they can be considered canon.

He can have the "big reveal", and maybe even set beta!Kyon up to "get the girl" or do all kinds of stuff we'd never normally see, and then wipe it all out at the end when the beta!verse is invalidated somehow (Earth is blown up to make way for a hyperspace bypass or some such)..

Seeing how some authors like to have their stories open-ended, maybe it'll be a case of 'you decide which one of the timelines you prefer'. More or less like in those old gamebooks, as Lone Wolf, lol.
