Cool Why is called 42? Was it a book? I guess my definition of universe is as a micro-universe? I'm a bump in this micro-system; and I interact with it accordingly; having fun with other bumps like u said, and trying not to make a mess for bumps to come. Tho this micro-universe would be infinitesimally minute in relation to the real universe (physical and time-wise); it is infinitesimally huge to me. Ahwell, better get back to topic.

And I think that William Shakespere was right on the money with Hamlet's soliloquy that starts with "To Be, or not to be..." (Hamlet, Act III, scene 1) Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_be%2C_or_not_to_be |

I also agree with C.A. that the OP/ED songs have very good lyrics and meaningful even though they're both slightly too genki for me. As to others who try to justify or defend the "importance" of existence, I say, "whatever." To me, you don't have to be important to exist. The more I try to justify the importance and think about this issue, the more depressed I get. It's better to defenestrate the issue at hand because I don't think it's relevant. "Importance" is a relative term like "hot" or "cold." I think the show is more about cogito, ergo sum AKA I am thinking, therefore I exist. Her thinking made existence of her wishes, which defines reality for her; but common sense grounded her to "reality" (our reality). It is weird how an anime can make me think so much about philsophy and physics. I think I veered off whatever I originally wanted to talk about, but I think I touched on those points regardless. Someone feel me to return me to whichever hot topic is at hand in this thread . Oh yeah, this is what I get for being a TA for a quantum physics professor! It was also pretty sad that I actually recognized most of the formulas on the OP credits as soon as I saw the equations. |

I'm not sure those theories like the big bang, big crunch or the big freeze qualify as a spoiler, like you said we could've found out via discovery, wiki or etc...but whatever. Any string theorists out there? Spoiler:
Haruhi's speech in this episode resonates of existentialism, nothing matters, we're all just a drop in a bucket, a very bleak interpretation of life, some of the posts seem very bleak too, all i have to say is relax, enjoy life, and go watch more Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (maybe in the right order this time, yes no maybe so?) P.S. GOD PLS PLS PLS let there be a second season, pls pls pls, this is a fantastic show, with more that enough substance for another season |

It was an amazing episode but not a crowd-pleaser so I doubt this'll get high opinion. That'll be reserved for viewing of the final episode (assuming AX events allow us to do so legitimately...fortunately, I know people in Japan). But this touches at the heart of Melancholy in the human condition. Haruhi fights against it and does all those crazy things thus far to get around her heart of Melancholy. To me, this episode is perfect. Even the long-winded dialog got my mind turning. What can I believe about what Itsuki says? It even makes me wonder about the absolute nature of what he's said previously. It's a delicious puzzle box with its soft and rougher moments. One piece is left to this puzzle...And this one gets a ten from me, amazing translation effort too. Absolutely amazing.

I think this is a great episode and brought up a bunch of good questions. Haruhi explained to us reason why has she always sought after paranormal things. I think itsuki's dialogue in the car is rather interesting.
The closed space part is well done, it's pretty much how I imagined. Like someone already said, the destruction of closed space is maybe abit rushed (we talking about KyoAni quality here), but overall it's a well done episode, and a very fitting episode to setup for a finale. |

(the old notes in ontology section suddenly bears to mind right about now. Suzumiya Haruhi fascinated me because of that in the first place, not purely for its premise...)
Quote:
What Killer Loli mentions and Kaioshin_Sama corrects with Nihilism actually would augment Kaioshin's arguments by saying that Haruhi is trapped in a Nihilist dilemma. "Truth does not exist" being the perfect example to use. Her thought manifests in reality as the enclosed space is rooted to the liar paradox. One must apply a degree of relativist view to remedy this clash of 2 absolutes regarding the dull reality within Haruhi's head. (O yea, I believe in M-theory to an extent. Call me a string believer too but... I am open to more interpretations)

Well not exactly opposites they do have their differences, but both share ideals of a meaningless or absurd universe. Even one of the great philosophers of nihilism, Friedrich Nietzsche, was an existentialist at one point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsc...nd_God_is_dead |

This series really has its roots in philosophy doesnt it? Or are we just making too much out of it? Sigh. This download is taking forever.
Lol, C.A., I didnt know your personal reasons for your ponderings; sorry if I was too forward Quote:
