Y some hate "The Betrayal"

I saw some of you say that you think "The Betrayal" was one of the worst episode of all times. I absolutely don't agree, I think it was one of the 20 best episodes.

MANY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE the showing of the scenes in reverse order forces the viewer TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION, and 4 some people (NOT ONLY STUPID PEOPLE!) concentrating while seeing a comedy is not a good thing.

I like the episode because I was curios to see the explanation to what they're saying at the part where they come back and talk to Kramer.

I think "The Betrayal" was both a reward for the real fans, and a bit of
self-indulgence for the writers.  Almost like they said, "We want to try
something different, please bear with us."

"The Betrayal" is definitely one of the more creative episodes written and one of my personal favorites. How many times have you ever seen a huge lollypop get bigger in normal space-time progression. This episode cleverly showed everyone that the Seinfeld team was and is ahead of the game.

When I first watched it I thought it was a great episode. However, in subsequent viewings I think they put it together as a regular episode and when they realized that the story sucked, they decided to expiriment and make it into a backward episode.

If that's what you thought, then you didn't pay much attention.

of course.... why else, for example, would they shoot a scene where elaine sneezes and jerry says bless you?

I'm not stupid, I just didn't think it was one of the funnier episodes
