Prediction

I predict it's all a dream (like Dallas). The first episode in the fall will begin with George waking up in bed and Susan coming out of the shower...

I am really amazed because that is exactly what I said when the episode finished. honestly. I think it is a funny idea; I wish they would do that. but then why did they start this new plot about jerry and his engagement? I think they are trying to get george back to his original character of being more of a loser. I thought it was funnier when he was unemployed and women didn't like him. but they shouldn't have made him totally heartless. I think that george would still feel bad if his fiancee died. so i hope it was all a big joke.

Other sinister/morbid story lines/character feelings

Now that I have had a chance to think about Susan�s demise; I think we had better all remember some other sinister and/or morbid story lines (or feelings expressed by characters) of the show. And some of these shows are a lot older than a few years.

I can think of several. Maybe the closest one involves George buying �Triangle�art from an artist because he might die. In fact , he wants Cosmos and Jerry to keep quite about a certain Jr. Mint that they dropped into t he Artist (Patient) during an operation. In this episode, not only is George trying to benefit (again) from death, but Jerry and Cosmos are less concerned with the well being of the patient and more afraid of getting cau ght!

Or how about when Jerry drowned those trained doves of Miss Rhode Island. He did not want to fess up - and George�s reaction cold and uncaring; he just kept brushing his teeth.

All these characters only really care about themselves. We can review many episodes and find some pretty morbid actions/thoughts expressed by the characters.

Maybe it would have been better if this group had not known about the plot ahead of time. Face it, if you have ever tried to explain an episode of Seinfeld to a person who is not a fan, they look at you like you lost you r mind (or worse, they think you are warped for even watching such a show - that�s how my Father-in-law feels about Seinfeld fans). Thus, when the final episode�s plot was revealed to us, we were to quick to think only o f the story line and not the �true� essence of the characters.

I am certain, while last nights episode may not have been the best, we will see this episode again and find those little morsels of humor that we love. For example: A while back, when George became a hand model and his (albeit short) career was ruined by a hot iron; it was not until I watched the episode repeat that I noticed the first gloves he wore to protect his hands were in fact �oven mitts� - Jerry made fun of George, but as it tu rns out, what better protection against hot items than oven mitts - great joke for a second viewing.

But what will be the date when George wakes up? The wedding was scheduled, after some delay, to take place in June. Will it be May, August, or somewhere in between?

That's funny, because I thought the same thing -- it will all be a "Dallas" dream!

If not, at least no one will have to "wait out this marriage" like Jerry and Elaine do.
