Final Seinfeld/ No Exit/ The plane crashed

Apparently no one is familiar with Satre's "No Exit". 3 people find themselves in a waiting room. yadda yadda yadda......end of the play they figure out they have died and this is their version of hell. Stuck for eternity making small talk with each other. Thus the pullback from the jailcell at the very end and the comment from George, "haven't we had this conversation before?" They died on the plane

ooh. That's deep. Frank

He was talking about the button conversation that took place in the pilot episode!

Thank you-someone else got the Satre reference. I hope you also remembr that Satre's classic work describing his philosophy of existentialism (in which people are judged by their actions/lack of action) is enitled in French "L'etre et le neant" , which translates in English as "On Being & NOTHINGNESS.".

I think that maybe you are reading way too much into it.

If they could do a backwards episode called The Betrayal that was clearly a hommage to a Pinter play called The Betrayal ... then why would a little Satre influence be so unlikely???

I think it's completely plausible. In fact, I _LOVE_ this interp. of the final episode. Now, I can't wait to see it again. This time, I might enjoy it a little more.

By the way, gang, it's *Sartre*. If we're going to look at the finale existentially, let's at least get the spelling right.
