I finally saw this episode and it was a huge event. I hadn't seen a new episode in a month. Now there are only 9 left that I haven't seen, the ones they skipped in syndication so far when they started showing them "from the beginning." It could be a year or never till they show them. I wonder why "The Red Dot" is so sacred that it was skipped. Perhaps because it is a Christmas episode they are saving it for December? They didn't save other holiday shows for December.
Anyway I found the Little Kicks to be hilarious and give it my highest rating because all three of the subplots were excellent and well written. I did notice some serious errors of the type that fall under "you aren't supposed to notice that" like the errors in the Frogger.
In the theater when Brody starts filming the bootleg movie he starts the camera after the film starts. I doubt if a bootlegger would be that slipshod if he expects to sell his product. He eats noisily and then when he gets sick he talks and moves the camera around while still filming, and then Jerry finishes the filming. And yet later he says Jerry did an awesome job of the filming. At no time is it shown that Jerry completely re-filmed the whole thing without talking or moving the camera around, so that could not be.
He also praises Jerry for his panning and framing, two things that would not be done at any time while filming a movie off a screen. You'd want a tripod or a very, very steady arm, and you would focus and aim it and never budge it.
When Elaine is left alone in Jerry's apartment she decides to film herself dancing. If you set up the camera to record yourself it would show you walking from out of camera range after you pressed record, and then walking in front of the camera and then dancing. However, when Kramer and Jerry watch the end of the tape it cuts directly from the movie she partly erased to her dancing. I suppose you could say there was a self timer. MAYBE. I also question whether Elaine would have erased the end of a tape that was not her own. She could see it was a movie. But yes, that would fit in with the self-centeredness that is such a hallmark of these characters.
Anyway these errors in "reality" did not detract from the excellence. I just noted them to show how details do not matter when the script is so brilliant.
