Koizumi brought up an interesting metaphor to describe the Kyon Theory. He described it as being a Hurricane/Typhoon.

Kyon represents the eye of the storm, which is calm and tame.(Obviously pointing out the fact that he is a normal, everyday person)

The storm itself represents all the events that are circling around him. Kyon wishes to be the "sidekick". He doesn't want to be the cause of conflicts, but would rather stand to the side and observe as things unfold around him.

Notice how Kyon rarely, if ever, makes decisions on his own. Almost all of his decisions and actions are made by others in the form of orders.

If Book 9 is indeed another "long story", I would like to see more of the rival entity (the Macrospatial-thingy, forgot what its called) and Koizumi. So far, we've seen:

Spoiler! :

But we've only heard about rival aliens. It would be cool to see them in action once, and more story involving Koizumi. Let's just say that translating Chapter 5 has made me kind of, Interested, in him... (In a normal sense, mind you. I'm straight ;P)

Not really sure what to think of this volume,
Spoiler! :
throughout the chapters, it really felt as though it were building up to something big, whether it be something involving yuki's annoyance with kyon or the kidnapping of asahina. The way it ended felt a little anti climactic with little to no information on the other factions. I don't think much was even asked about them.

Overall, it felt as though volume seven was a launch point for a future development with no particularly conclusive end of itself (compared to the conclusions of volumes 1, 4 and to a lesser extent, volume 2).

None the less, I still enjoyed reading it from start to finish and hope more will be revealed as to what the future has in store for the SOS Brigade in future volumes.

I also hope the author does more with koizumi. He seems to be left out on a lot of the bigger plots but seems to much more aware of what's always going on.

Lastly, as a supporter of the kyon theory, I was happy to see the line, "would a scriptwriter play such a tiring character himself?" =)

I agree, to a point.

that was a super update. It is interesting about how Kyon tells Tsuruya to dig up in the original spot the rock was. I get the feeling that Kyon is going to do somethign later in the story that is not going to be benefital to the rival groups but he is going to do something that totally goes against Mikuru's(Big) will. Or he might go to the opposite side.

That's the feeling I get. Maybe Mikuru will end up staying in that time period and never return to the future thus screwing up the time continum.

Sneering Itsuki (btw it's a name Kinny coined lol) did raise some interesting points about time travel, though.

Now this is getting confusing @.@

of course thats natural when 4 chapters and the epilogue are released all together, right?

I admit I've been grumbling the past month about the 1%, but this anonymous forgives

Mod: It ought to be the translators that's doing the forgiving to all your constant "grumblings", not the other way round. They're doing this of their own free will and certainly don't owe you anything. I know you don't mean it, but please be more considerate next time.

Kyon's position is anything but calm and tame. Haruhi fits the analogy best, because form her perspective absolutely nothing extraordinary is happening.

Volume 7 begins to prove otherwise.

Really? All he did in Volume 7 is follow orders based on what others told him.
