Fans discuss the significance of Elaine's sneeze in the backwards-told episode, with one noting it was used for comedic effect in the reverse narrative structure.

To exploit the comedic aspects of running a show backwards, methinks. :)

I can't seem to remember the sneeze... anybody want to post a reminder??

I must add that I doubt that I have ever witnessed a more brilliant TV show in my life. After a few seconds to catch up at the beginning the rest of the show required constant attention and thought to keep up with all the hidden gags.

Could we start a little list of the "punchlines before the joke" gags??

I can start:

Elaine asks George whether he's wearing those boots, but painted black ( at the wedding cerimony). Later ( earlier in time) he tells us that he has to wear those boots *everytime* he sees Nina because she thinks he's 5'8".

This episode deserves no less than an A+++++++++

Instead of saying Bless You or whatever he actually said, he should have said

You are so good looking.

Of course! It was a gimick, but I loved it! Just like Kramer's lollipop, and Elaine asking Jerry for the time. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

Could someone tell me when she sneezed? I taped the show and watched it 4 times already, and no sneezing. The Global network here in Canada messes around with the show, cutting scenes to add commercial time and that kind of stuff, so I guess they cut that part.

I'm pissed off.
