Question

Viewers discuss George's elbow gesture toward Jerry in the frozen yogurt shop and whether he continued the behavior after being caught by Lloyd Braun to avoid embarrassment.

Ok, let me see if i have this straight--

in the beginning, jerry and george are talking to lloyd braun in the frozen yogurt shop, lloyd says something about "major chicks" in here--- somewhat indicative of the description george provided to jerry just minutes earlier, to which george elbows jerry in the "see?" kind of gesture JUST as lloyd braun looks back at the guys to see george elbow jerry. He says (knowingly) to george "something wrong with your arm?" to which george stutteringly replies in the affirmative, and later goes to elaborate lengths to continue doing it when lloyd is around, just getting himself in deeper. 2 questions arise:

1) did he do this, in fact because he got caught by lloyd and didnt want to be embarassed that he got caught elbowing jerry to mock him.

  • .... i forgot, nevermind question #2...

any thoughts?

thanks.

George's life is a lie... he just wanted to get some more useless problems into his world :) And sure he didn't want to be mocked!!! All his life his mother said: "WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE LLOYD BRAUN?". Do you think he would give him the satisfaction? :)

(And, in the end, Lloyd became more like George...)

When Lloyd Braun returns he is played by a different actor. I don't know the title, it is the one where Kramer is involved with re-opening this old movie house. Does anyone know why the actors were changed?

That's the way I saw it. The elbow was a non-verbal, "You see?" It was great how it backfired on him, what with him having to go through with seeing the prestigious doctor and being called out on his fake injury, only for it to become a real injury right there in the office.

Comtrast this with his fake house in the Hamptons and his having to drive the Rosses out there, keeping up the charade the whole way. It was similar, except that the ending was flat. Okay, they got him to admit it was all a lie, then they said they knew and just did it because they hate him and held him responsible for susan's death. And that's it. The more I watch the new and old episodes, the more I see there's something missing from the new ones. It's not always noticeable, in fact, it's usually not, but when old and new episodes are placed side-by-side for comparison, the contrast is often stark.
