Here's one: Elaine & Puddy get engaged. In the last episode, they're putting together invitations at the last minute. They get Jerry, George & Kramer to help stuff the envelopes. Elaine & Puddy break up (again). Elaine, in a drug-induced stupor as a result of licking so many envelopes, falls into the arms of Newman. They kiss, & the toxin from the envelopes is transferred to Newman. They all die in the end. Somehow, word gets to the bizarro Jerry & friends. They show up at the hospital, & the scene from the Susan death & George'S paralysis episodes is played out one final time. w/ the doc giving the news. They stand there for a minute, Sue Ellen Mishky shows up, they all go for coffee. Next season, a spinoff w/ those characters premiers. I could live w/ that. Or, they're all going somewhere together & are struck & killed by a delivery truck carrying envelopes. Whadya think?
Another final episode idea...
Why would they recycle old ideas? That would be sooo lame!
NOBODY will die in the final episode.....or at least none of the big four. Larry David already said that.
First, a few things I've heard concerning the final episode. These are not facts, just things that I've read and heard ...
1. *Trying* to get Larry David to write final episode. 2. Jerry knows what he wants the last scene of the show to be, but not the rest of the plot. 3. Final episode is going to be filmed in NYC (instead of LA). 4. Jerrys says that him and Elaine *will not* be getting married.
Again, those are just things that I've heard. I hope that because they are shooting in NYC doesn't mean that there's going to be a lot of outdoor shots. Is it just me or are the scenes outside not that funny?
I think the last episode should be something like the 4 of them waiting for a pizza in Jerry's apartment, or sitting around at Monk's. Not just talking about old times or anything like that, though. Maybe George has an important call to make and he can't get through or keeps getting a wrong number ... Kramer is trying to bake dessert so he keeps running back to his apartment. Because even while the show was about nothing, something was always going on. I don't think it should be some big elaborate send off, or everyone getting murdered (who started up that one?) or anything that is generally "out of the ordinary" for the show (and I have to use that term loosely, but you know what I mean). Having a simple episode about nothing but the 4 of them would be the best way, in my opinion, that we could say goodbye to one of the greatest shows ever. I think Cheers had a good send off. People had been going through changes for a lot of shows leading up to the final one (Woody getting married, Rebecca finding a guy, ect. ect.) but nothing really BIG happened on the final episode. Just the regular gang sitting around and talking a bit (at least for the last 15 minutes or so) and nothing really tremendous happened. No one died or anything like that. They just went home and went to bed, leaving us to believe that tomorrow would be another day back in the bar. That's how I think Seinfeld should end. Simple and funny and no big changes. Just a soft goodbye.
Anyhoo, that's my idea. Whatta ya think?

I think ideas of killing off people come from the fact that Seinfeld has little use of the conventional sitcom plot.
The big 4 are fun characters, but they're people that you wouldn't like in real life. They're self-centered and pretty uncaring. This isn't a criticism. What about Susan's death? They didn't really care.
Seeing how they have little respect for the regular characters, I could see them blowing up Jerry's building with the whole cast in it just to say: "it's just TV. They're not real!"
They won't do it, but I'd like to see them do something that may upset or annoy some people for a send off. I guess it's more likely that it will end like Cheers, though. Can't wait to see what they do, though...
JMM
They could torture the four to death in a dungeon for all I care, as long as they find a way to make it funny. A boring finale would be the only thing leaving me upset and annoyed.
