Well, watching them all simultaneously didn't work. Because there are actual variations between the episodes, nothing matched up completely, and I would have had scrambled brains from it all.

It actually wasn't so bad if you dropped it for a few weeks, then watched it all in one go. Maybe I wasn't big enough of a Haruhi fan to check every week, but noting the differences in each reiteration had some amusement in itself.

Granted, I was tired of it by Episode 18, so good thing it's all over.

And don't I feel sorry for Nagato.
