Why is it still called The Melancholy?

I am referring to the new season of Suzumiya Haruhi, of course.

The Melancholy arc has already been settled in the previous season. based on the first episode of this season, it should be called The Boredom of Suzumiya Haruhi (3rd volume title).

And even if they're gonna jumble up all the different volumes again like last time, they shouldn't have anything from to put in from the 1st volume of the light novels. They covered all of that in 6 episodes.

Well, they made a good choice starting with the time traveling chapter. I consider it one of the more entertaining parts of the whole series. But I guess it's the only chapter left in volume 3 that wasn't shown in the first season.

But I only read up to the 3rd volume. The terrible line speed makes it pretty frustrating to continue reading another 6 more volumes (Is volume 10 out yet? I haven't checked.).

Well, I pray that this season will be an entertaining one. Comedy is nice, but I'd like to see more of the serious parts of the series.

The previous season was pretty good if you liked the humour, Kyon's sarcasm and Hare Hare Yukai, but when it comes to storyline, it's like reading the first 2 chapters of a novel. It may be interesting, but it tells you little of the things ahead.
