Susan did not actually die; the doctor made a mistake or it was a dream.
Fans debate whether Susan actually died in the season finale or if the death was a mistake or dream, with most skeptics noting Seinfeld doesn't continue plots between seasons.
Call me an optomist, but Susan didn't die of something as dumb as licking 200 envelopes. The doctor that pronounced her dead probably made a mistake and she never died. She was presumed dead, but got better and came back to life.
There, happy everyone?

Susan is my favorite charater on television and thus on Seinfeld, but not even I can bring myself to believe this. Seinfled plot lines don't continue from one season to the next. This is the last we'll hear of her and her death. That's what makes the entire situation so unbearable since, as you say, it was too "dumb" to be even remotely believable. If she is brought back, it would be the equivalent of Joan of Arc leading the French to victory in the 100 Years War against England (who at the point of her intervention controlled most of France); that is a full fledged miracle.

I agree. Susan is not dead. And Jerry's not engaged. Both developments -- if you can call them that -- are ludicrous. In the teacher's room at school, the theory is that it was all a dream. It would be a cop out on the part of the writers to end a season that way, but I can't believe that Susan is dead (and with the agreeable lack of emotion on anyone's part) and that Jerry is engaged. Don't you all think that the last part of that episode had a strange, dream-like, unrealistic quality to it anyway? I do.

Why not?
The doctor confirmed she was dead at the hospital and George wanted out of the marriage all season long. It was an unusual way to get out of it. After all like the saying goes, be careful for what you wish for, because you just might get it. Well, George did and Jerry did also. Now let's see him get out of the engagement. Should make for a funny last season.
I don't think they'd make the whole thing a dream, that would be too much like Newhart where the entire series was a dream scene.

The episode was ludicrous but blame incompetent writers and not a "dream like quality." Larry David and his cabal of murderous jackals decided it would be just amazing to end their run on the show by murdering a major character. The whole episode had a strange quality but that strange quality was stupidity. Incidentally, I don't know how you could possibly hate Susan but then again your an educator so we have expect mental deficiencies.

Yes, I was thinking this at the time. It had a type of weirdness which was uncharacteristic of the show. I think they will make it a dream.
A wise man said that if cats looked like frogs we would realize what evil little creatures they really are. Susan is so unconcerned with George that she is incapable of seeing what agony he is in. She really doesn't care at all.

May be Susan faked her death to see how 's George's reaction.

Wow, good idea! She may have only intended to make him regret the thrifty decision to buy the cheap invitations. The woman who sold them could have put the idea in her head with the remarks about the glue. I think this would be hilarious. Imagine George trying to explain himself to the flabbergasted Susan in the season opener!

Of course! I wish I had thought of it first.
Oh, wait.
I did.
Anyway.
<Yes, I can clearly understand your repulsion towards education.
Teachers and education have little if anything to do with one another. I enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and so on but educators serve only to stifle it.
Incidentally, Susan is not ugly (precisely the opposite in fact) nor was she boorish, petty, and so forth as you describe. Cite examples and I will refute them otherwise, you are simply wrong.
