POSSIBLE SPOILERS? IDK

Okay.. whut?
Did we just see the same episode FOUR times? O_O
I can stand it if it's one or two times, but seriously, four?! What in the world.. Each episode was almost exactly alike except for small details.. I started watching episode five when I said to myself "Didn't I watch this already?" and I thought I was watching the wrong episode.

I understand it's supposed to emphasize the reoccuring of events, but this many times? It's ridiculous.

This season is only going to consist of 13 episodes too..

I was so looking forward to this, but it seems like this season of Haruhi is going to be a disappointing one..

Sorry for ranting OTL
