Episode 8 (Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody)

I'm honestly surprised this story got cut from season 1 because it's one of the most important ones in the series. A lot of this comes back into play in Disappearance, and in some of the books beyond that, too.

Haruhi's absurd logic for how wishes in Tanabata should work is so great. Their Tanabata wishes are kind of cliche, except for Nagato's, where she wishes for "Harmony/Unity" and "Reformation," presumably in reference to the DITE. It's a quick little insight into how Nagato feels about it, wishing the different factions would be able to come together as one, but also at the same time seemingly wishing the DITE itself would change. It might be an early indication of her slow transition toward autonomy and independent thought.

"Under the circumstances, this goes completely against my principles...Yeah, well, sort of." Kyon's the best.

Haruhi asks if Kyon believes in "sliders," and he says he hasn't met any of those yet. Haruhi's "aliens, time travelers, and espers" speech in the book includes "sliders" in it, too, but I guess they didn't bother including it in the anime because the series never introduced a slider. Well, as far as we know, anyway.

Asahina talks about how she just follows orders and doesn't always understand the things she's supposed to do. Over the course of the series, she honestly seems to be the one who's the least loyal to Kyon and the S.O.S. Brigade in general because she's afraid to disobey her superiors. Even Koizumi makes a promise at one point in the later books that if there ever came a time when he had to choose between the S.O.S. Brigade and the Agency/Organization, he'd side with the S.O.S. Brigade (although he said he'd do it just once, and of course, he's cryptic about even this, so who knows when or how it would ever come to pass, although presumably, it would have had the series continued).

Kyon: I don't know what's going to happen to us next, but whatever it is, I hope it's something that doesn't require as much thinking.
Koizumi: I'd prefer it if it stayed nice and quiet, but you'd prefer it if something happened?

Koizumi caught Kyon's true feelings slipping out there for a minute!
