So the unthinkable happened and I found myself actually sitting down and watching this darned show of my own volition. No, really. It's true.
Unfortunately, as it's not the actual DVD version, I find myself with 14 .avi files presumably ripped from a DVD labeled "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - #__" (insert episode number there). Now, Craig already told me that this show has a very... nonlinear format, and of course, when all the episode tells you is what number it is on the DVD version, it tells me nothing about what order to play them in. I figure "Y'know, the DVD version should logically be the right way to watch". I get through the first three episodes all fine and dandy. Fourth episode, there's like three new characters I haven't been introduced to and I'm like "NO SPOILERS". I think "Well, maybe this calls for a trip to Wikipedia". And it tells me there's like three different orders you can watch it in - the "nonlinear Kyon" version (which has me skip to episode 8 on the DVD), the "slightly more linear Haruhi" version (which has me go to episode 4 as normal), and DVD version. So I try episode 8 and am greeted to a shot of someone being stabbed and I'm like "NO SPOILERS" --
....
Long story short, I want to watch it in the proper chronological order where everything's introduced where it's supposed to.
Can someone please help me? ;___;

@ Sagey... I have the legit DVDs, which force you to watch in chronological order
