Okay, I can understand that. You make a good point. So why watch the show?

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

Because it offers enough stuff to keep the OP interested despite the his/her dislike for the pairing? I mean, not everyone bases wether or not they watch a show on pairings. Hell, you can even dislike a character a still enjoy a show. Pairing ≠ Show

Your "logic" and "rationality" are making me look bad. Cut it out.

Digression: What could the OP possibly mean by "I don't ship them?" She doesn't write fanfic about them? She disagrees with their relationship? She wants a cookie? What?

[rmarques.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the first two options. She doesn't writes fanfiction about them, and disagrees with their relationship. If it's not canon (yet?), then she can mean that she really doesn't thinks that it'll ever happen. And who doesn't wants a cookie? :P

[pts.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you who doesn't want a cookie: Those damn nazis.

Sorry, lame attempt at humor.

There's nothing to the show except Haruhi and Kyon's romantic relationship? Personally, I watched it because of the first episode, which promised to be a fun look at a group of high school students, one who had reality warping powers and and the rest of them weirdos from other dimensions or whatnot.

Personally, for me, the series never lived up to that very first episode, but it was an enaging watch.

[pts.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

I disagree (in the most strenuous possible terms) about unfulfilled promise, but that's a matter of personal preference, naturally.

[musouka-manga.livejournal.com]

Well, I think the implication of the "promise" I was talking about wasn't lived up to. Instead of really being about an ensemble cast and the group dynamics as a whole, it mostly dealt with how Haruhi's personal feelings of dissatisfaction with her life led to the warping of the world around her--and what that told us about how she really felt about herself and, yes, Kyon.

Which wasn't bad, I guess. I understand what they were going for, I think it fufilled its purpose well, but that first episode's down-to-earth normality with a touch of weird was what pulled me into the show, and I found the rest of it really lacking that touch.
