Correct me if I'm wrong. On the Wednesday repeat, as the plane was going down, Elaine said "I have always loved...". And then the plane straightened out.
But the first time, didn't Elaine say, "I have always loved U...". Which in both versions she verifies at the trial by saying "I have always loved United Airways).
Am I mistaken?

I'm too lazy to verify my tape of the 1st airing but I think you may be correct. Someone else check please?

I didn't catch the rerun, but I videotaped the first broadcast. I played back the plane scene, and Elaine said, "I've always lu..." Then the plane straightened out.
You might think you remember hearing her say "you" because "you" was the most logical next word.
youre NOT mistaken.
thats what she said

That's what she said in the original as well.
No.
Actually, it was obvious she was saying, "I have always loved YOU . . . nited Airways." She _was_ telling Jerry that she loved him, in her own little way.
But how did Jerry act on the I-love-you return? Remember when George was telling Jerry about how he wanted to say "I love you?" and Jerry asked him how he felt about the I-love-you return? Jerry told him that could be a pretty big matzah ball hanging out there.
Did Jerry leave a pretty big matzah ball hanging out there on the I-love-you return with Elaine?
I'm not really sure about that.
I think, especially after viewing the Clip Show, that Jerry and Elaine are deeply in love with each other . . . in their own little way . . . as only the superficial can possibly be.
Their's is a marriage of convenience. They are both madly, deeply in love with each other . . . yet because of their superficiality, their self-absorption, and their selfishness . . . they can't bring themselves to truly reveal this to one another. Maybe they don't even realize it themselves. As Kramer asked, "Can't you two see that you're in love with each other?"
They want to be able to have their cake and eat it too. They want to be able to maintain their relationship, hence the "sex to save the friendship" episode . . . yet they also cling desperately to their freedom . . . a freedom that has become their prison.
As a result of not allowing themselves to fully connect with one another, they are a bitter, angry, increasingly selfish couple. The anger can be truly seen in the development of Elaine's character, especially over the last year or so. She's become vicious, confrontational and sometimes just downright mean. She remains coiled, ready to strike out at anyone and anything that might cross her path.
If you paid close enough attention during the Clip Show, you would have noticed that almost every scene, every photograph, somehow illustrated the smiles, the fun, and the laughter . . . in and out of character. But for a brief second, we see a photgraph of Elaine (or is it Julia?) . . . her back in a corner . . . a look of lonely desperation darkening her face . . . a sad, empty woman.
Elaine is a woman who is lost in life. A woman who wants her man, Jerry, but a woman who also wants the Puddys that life has to offer. It tears her apart, this indecisiveness. Yet she can't reconcile herself to what actually making a commitment may hold. She wants the commitment, but she doesn't want to lose the unexpected.
And Jerry . . . does Jerry fill the same way? He seems pretty happy in his life of meeting the girl of the week. Happy with that, yet at the same time repulsed by it. He is forever, somehow, someway, sabotaging his female relationships. The women in his life pass in and out like a scent. Drifting aimlessly.
But, for Jerry, Elaine is always there.
And for Elaine, Jerry is always there.
Theirs is "the love that dare not speak its name" of the 90's.
But it is love . . . isn't it?
isn't it?
