I have a very good feeling that the lopper is Babu...what do you kids think?
THE LOPPER!
Babu Bhatt is The Lopper serial killer from the show.
Fans theorize that Babu Bhatt is the serial killer "The Lopper" mentioned in the episode, noting that all victims resembled Jerry and speculating whether Babu or Davola could be responsible.

Interesting. I never thought of that but it makes sense. Didn't Kramer say all of the victims looked like Jerry? Jerry said, "There are a lot people in NY who look like me." Kramer replied, "Well there used to be."
Also, in the Newseek aticle about the final episode (or was it Time?) it showed the 4 main stars hugging on the stage after the final scene with the rest of the cast in the background. I could've sworn I saw the guy who plays Babu. I am sure he will be in the final episode and it would be great if he turned out to be the Lopper.
Urgh!!! (imagine forehead slap and real twisted facial features)
Of Course!!!! All of the victims looked like Jerry! I take back everything that I said about Babu not being The Lopper. It can either be Babu or Davola. I'm not sure which. But now I'm leaning closer to Babu. You put Davola back on his meds and he's fine. The Lopper has to be more than a plot device.

Does Babu know where Jerry lives? I can't remember if he was ever at Jerry's apartment. If not, he could be wandering around NYC looking for Jerry and killing anyone who resembles him.
That's where Newman could come in. Newman knows. He may even know what happened to Babu way back when... Newman knows more than he's letting on.
This can't be good for my psyche. This can't be good for anyone.
Seriously, I say if they follow up with The Lopper tonight, then the game's afoot.
Thanks, Steve my forehead has finally turned pink after the redness that the earlier slap caused.
No Lopper reference tonight. It would be more Seinfeldesque to not mention it again until the finale anyway. But it may be too predictable for Larry David. Perhaps your first instict was correct and it was a thowaway plot device. I just hope they resolve the Babu story in some clever way.
Didn't Jerry live across the street from The Dream Cafe? I can't remember if it was shown or not, but it probably would have come up in conversation that he lived there. That's how he knew it wasn't doing business, right? He was watching from his window?
Cris
Actually the Lopper is Robin Mirsky-watch it tonight
Well, if I had to pick anyone, I would have picked Crazy Joe Davola. Although I think Babu would be funnier than Joe Davola. But I think that the lopper is a throwaway plot device used to deal with Jerry's Girlfriend-of-the-hour. If that sentence-ending harlot is in tonights episode, then I may start to suspect a Lopper thread happening.
Cheers, Steve
That girlfriend won't be there, but I'm telling you, watch for another Lopper reference...
Furthermore, the trailer for the new ep tonight has Jerry falling for his maid. Without that sentence-stealing harlot to visit, why would Jerry go near Riverside Drive, unless the producers are really trying to surprise us. Just my $.02.
Thanks, Steve
It's not like The Lopper only kills in Riverside Drive...he could be anywhere looking for Jerry...remember Kramer said the picture he saw of the latest victim looked a lot like Jerry

Maybe I slept through a few episodes. Maybe you're trolling. Whatever the case, can someone let me know what this "lopper" is and which episodes he/she/it has been referred to/appeared in? Thanks. Merci beaucoup.

He just showed up in "The Frogger" (last weeks new episode). He is a serial killer who cuts the heads off his victims. Kramer has a cop friend who has been telling him about him and showed him a picture of the latest victim who happened to look like Jerry.

I was thinking people said it was from the Frogger, but I can't remember that reference... weird. at which point was it? this is weird. Maybe it's a conspiracy by Global TV. (the Canadian station which shows the new episodes at the same time as NBC)
Maybe Jerry's apartment would be the first place the immigration department would look for him so he stayed away
