What happened to Elaine's glow? She seems so humble with Kramer. She used to love him. Remember when she came back from vacation and gave him that huge hug. Those were the good old days. This year their most memorable moment is he taking shots behind him at a bar out of all the stress. She's so bitter lately.What happened to Elaine's glow? She seems so humble with Kramer.

Maybe she's afraid she's actually going to have to follow through on their deal to get married in 50 years if neither of them is married by then! I think she's getting bitter because she's getting older and she's still hanging around with these goofy guys. I also think her experience as the president of J. Peterman humbled her quite a bit. She got really cocky and arrogant about her position of authority, but deep down inside I think she knows she really screwed up, and then when Peterman came back she had to go back to being an ordinary employee again. Unfortunately she's not the carefree gal with big hair that she used to be. . .

))) Well, these are all good reasons, but who needs reasons? These are TV characters and they shoulda just stuck with the characters that work. The change in charater is just bad writing and bad image changes to dear old Elaine. Same thing goes for the goofy(but dull) way Jerry acts now sometimes.

I disagree. I think Elaine has become much funnier since the seventh season and seems to fit in more with the show. I could never understand why old Elaine hung out with losers like Jerry and George. Now I can tell. She adds laugh to every episode nowadays, instead of just occasionally.

Or (here's a wild idea) it's called character developement. Bad writing...Give me a break. Bad writing is not having your characters evolve or change over 7 years.

Look at yourself, and your friends. Has your personality changed over the past 7 years? Has any of your friends? Mine has. That's what happens as you experience new things, and have things happen to you.

If you want stagnant characters who don't change, go watch Friends.

Well, you're right for the most part, but I think you're wrong about it's because she's hanging around with "these goofy guys". I mean, she's destined to hang around with guys, remember, she's a "man's woman", she hates other women and they hate her. Well, maybe not literally, but for the most part, I think it's true. I think that it has to do with the fact that she considers herself the most eligible person in the group, and we have seen everyone else on the show get closer to marriage than her. I mean, George and Jerry were engaged. Kramer appeared to get Elaine's friend pregnant ("She's late, Jerry! She's la-te!"), or at least be as socially active as Elaine. The clock is ticking for Elaine... C'mon, she stabbed that guy in the forehead with a fork for saying she had a bump in her nose! She's almost over the edge. But it's not because she's hanging around with some goofs. -VR

I find it difficult to believe that Elaine would worry about being abandoned. The four of them are brothers and sister, in every aspect except blood, which is irrelevant. Her little brothers would never leave her behind, she knows that.

Age order---Elaine, Jerry, Kramer, George Michael Alexander

Yeah, you've definitely got a point there. She really seemed to flip out when George's wedding was fast approaching, confiding in the big-mouth rabbi about her jealousy, etc. And at some point (i think when she was dating Bret, the "Desperado" guy) she did say to Jerry something to the effect of, "I'm running out of guys in this town!" in kind of a panicky way. Maybe she's afraid of being abandoned by those "goofy guys" if they were to all get married except her. . .
