Question

Viewers discuss whether Elaine repeated herself twice about the wedding invitation in the backwards-told episode, with some noting it made sense given the reverse chronological structure.

Hello All!

I only saw the show once, so I may be wrong, but did anyone remember Elaine telling Jerry TWICE that she got a wedding invitation from Sue Ellen and that the wedding was in only a week in India? That stuck me as strange if the show was, although moving backwards, constantly moving. She said it both times (I believe) as if she had JUST found out. Why would she say that twice?

I thought the same thing at the wedding when Elaine saw Georges's black boots. She said are those Timberlands? Since she had already commented on the in New York and knew he was wearing them the more reasonable comment would have been, when seeing them painted black... Are those your Timberlands? I think that comes from taping a few minor point but the comment does not ring true when she says it.

versions or disjoint secenes and having them edited together.

(Timberlands - is that the correct name of those boots? I may have missed the exact name but the comment is still a bit out of place.)

Maybe she didn't think that they were the same ones. After all, who would be so stoopid as to PAINT an expensive pair of leather boots?

Yes, Timberland is well-known for leather shoes and boots.

The first time Elaine said it was too herself (backwards saying). Then she went to Jerrys apt. and she told him. that is why it sounded like two shocks.

Watch it again (if you taped it). It makes more sense the second time. She does tell him twice, but the second time (or first if you're watching it in backwards order) it is more of a rehash of the whole situation by her. It makes sense.
