Finally Haruhi Season Two?

I wonder if there will be 8 endless 8 episodes. how many has it been so far? I watched them but didnt count.

Poor nagato, I'd too be bored after 59x years doing the same thing over and over.

So far, 6 episodes. 594 years, actually- as said in Episode 2 of the arc in which it's stated to have had 15,498 recursions of time; and Episode 6, 15,524; still 594 years.

Honestly, I've gotten so frustrated I looked up the light novel version of this story. In the light novel, the whole storyline was a SINGLE short chapter. Within this spoiler I've provided, it contains the basic plot events WITHOUT telling the solution, not to ruin it for anyone; but I still hid it just in case you didn't wanna see it.

 Spoiler

This chapter began at 15,498 recursions and ended with that; never pulling any sort of recursion-of-the-chapter pumpernickel, the story just said mentions the first events and Kyon's nostalgia sensation, the meeting at the park, then leads to the final day- Kyon knows all of a sudden what to say to solve the story, the story is solved by what happens on the last day, then it ends with them being glad its over in school.

But the general gist remains: seriously now? One friggin' chapter got translated into what seems to be a possible arc of EIGHT episodes; out of 14 supposedly brand-new episiodes. The main event of Season 2, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, should have gotten WAAAAAAY more spotlight than this random short story. In my opinion, it should have been done like this: 2 or 3 on The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya plotline (the filming of The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina), 1 on Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, about 3 or 4 of Endless Eight, and the rest on the The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I REALLY don't get what they're trying to pull by dragging it. If they're thinking it's a good idea to pull make an art out of us trying to make us this bored, frustrated, and pissed; similarly to Nagato- they've totally killed the fun and entertainment factor that made the original series great.

A few possibilities for why:
- They could try to drag it until the school year begins, to be fitting with the end; and also teaching us that apparently, "summer should not be spent for watching anime" and doing some productive stuff with your time. If that happened, I can't wait to see the death threats that'll be shooting up; similar to the ones the Hideaki Anno got for how he ended Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- They think that the solution is really "all that", and they're trying to make us think about what the solution is; and gradually drop light hints as well as have you solve it with the characters. Pretty cool idea; but surely a majority of them already know the ending in the light novel- shouldn't they be equally pissed with having most of the anime's time wasted on this thing? Possibly a new ending that the light novel didn't use possibly could be it; but the light novel's made a lot of sense if you try to think about it, and it's pretty clever. I think the solution (if it's the one in the original light novel.) is DEFINITELY guess-able though; and among the possibilities I was thinking, I got it! (If you'd like for me to link you to the chapter containing Endless Eight, PM me)

Anyone else got thoughts on why so many?
