sumthn came to me just now.. and i think iz coz of MusashiKen saying that first year girl could be a slider..
maybe tanigawa-san has alternate endings in mind? not sure coz i haven't read 'surprise' yet, but i somehow feel that you just can't resolve the two timelines and make it seem 'right' somehow..
the first time such a split occurred was all thanks to Yuki, but Kyon had the power to choose which universe to accept. this time however, none of the major characters are aware that a 'rift' is in place..
somehow i also feel haruhi's responsible for the AUs (BT's v09 isn't done yet so i'm grasping at straws).. if that's the case, resolution can only occur if Haruhi finds out that she's responsible - and that she's God, eventually.. in that event, she might just conjure a third universe, with an ending far from plausible..

another thought..
tanigawa-san may have quite a number of surprises up his sleeves, but i don't think kyon's being a slider is one of them, as Fh14ism said..
Kyon is the only one in the SOS Dan who's actively resisting Haruhi's will.. from that it would seem that he's 'immune' to Haruhi's power, as compared to the other three's coming to being as alien, time traveler, and esper.. i dunno if this makes a difference, but she wished for said entities to exist, whereas she needed him to exist..
tough assumptions, but hey, i haven't been prevented from making them..

Well I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to resolve parallel world issues. Although I can't remember much of the original "Sliders" TV series I watched a gazillion years ago...
Another recent parallel world anime that comes to mind is Noein. But it doesn't exactly resolve the parallel world issue.
Anyway, my bet is that if there is a slider and there are parallel worlds, I think it all boils down to 2 alternatives, Haruhi or Sasaki.
Oh yeah, another very solid reason to suspect the first year girl.

that certainly puts a burden on Kyon's shoulders.. but shouldn't Asahina-san (big) be resorting to having Kyon make the decision 'beneficial' to the time travelers??
the time travelers believe that everything is predetermined, to the point that they find themselves burdened with the responsibility of intervening once in a while - albeit, the people of the 'present' oblivious - to ensure that the 'future' (aka their 'present') is at it should be..

Yare, yare... This is a lot of talk for a volume that, with its "un-ending" and apparent lack of anything happening, seems to just be a big advertisement for the next volume. And in a lot of ways that is true. But if you look at Volume 9 as the first part of a larger volume, it makes a lot more sense. It just makes you wonder why they just didn't make one big volume...
Anyway, my thoughts on most of the topics covered above (and more), which should not be read by anyone who hasn't read the entirety of the translated works:
So, thoughts?

Does anyone else think that the slider girl may be an alternate version of Miyokichi, except older (as in, one year younger than Kyon instead of on par with his little sister)? Then the conversation in the Prologue between Kyon and Koizumi about Miyokichi might be a good form of foreshadowing, since Kyon's subconscious desire for a cute little sister like Miyoko might be expressed instead as a cute little kouhai which is fairly close to a little sister. That's if you subscribe to the Kyon-as-God theory, of course.

Seems unlikely to me. The resemblance probably would have hit him when he began wondering if the girl had a sibling he had met.dizzcity wrote:Does anyone else think that the slider girl may be an alternate version of Miyokichi, except older (as in, one year younger than Kyon instead of on par with his little sister)?
