Now remember, in the last episode, Yuki tells Kyon that she is an alien, and her mission is to observe Haruhi and report the information back to the data Integration Thought Entity (whatever that is). Yuki also says that Haruhi has the power to manipulate the environmental data around her for her benefit. In other words, she is a god-like creature, with supernatural powers. Hold on a moment……….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!

Hey, maybe I shouldn’t laugh, there could be something to this, Haruhi is always talking about meeting espers (I still don’t know what that is), and what do you know, one transfers in her school. Okay everyone, lets meet Itsuki, now he’s a little cuter than Kyon, but he’s kind of a drab. Well, he doesn’t act like the typical high school boy, he’s too polite and cordial……..BORING!

Itsuki joins the SOS Brigade club, who’s mission is to find aliens, time travelers, espers, and hang out with them. Hey, don’t look at me, that’s what Haruhi said, I told you she had a screw loose somewhere. Next day, Kyon walks in the clubroom to find bully Haruhi stripping poor Mikuru so that she can have her put on this stupid maid outfit, then she starts taking pictures.

“Mikuru, you’re supposed to be a junior, so you should be able to kick some major Haruhi freshie butt, so why are you letting her push you around like that?” So after she dresses Mikuru up like some kind of doll, she gets on top of the desk, and starts talking crap about going out to search for strange phenomenon, and other mysteries of the world.

Kyon gets paired with Mikuru, and she starts her own rant about how she’s a time traveler, and she’s here on earth to watch Haruhi, and blah, blah, blah. Okay, I’m getting kind of bored with all this alien talk. Now Kyon starts asking questions, and Mikuru just keeps saying, that’s classified, that’s classified. “Damn Mikuru, if you can’t answer Kyon’s questions, you shouldn’t have opened your big mouth and told him anything!

So now the SOS Brigade meet back at noon, and after drawing straws again, Kyon this time gets paired with Yuki, and Haruhi gets pissed off. Uh oh, it looks like Haruhi has a crush on Kyon, but I don’t understand, since she likes being a total witch control freak, why doesn’t she just insist on pairing up with Kyon all the time?

Yuki and Kyon end up hanging out at the library. and we all know how boring that is, so we’ll just skip that, and go to the next scene, now its Itsuki to tell his story, he’s an esper (whatever), and he’s around to keep an eye on Haruhi, who created the world, and has the power to alter reality. Okay, my head is spinning, I have to end this review, but there will be more Haruhi coming up in the next few days, so look for it!
