The Betrayal
This is the notorious backwards episode. Some
people liked it I absolutely hated it. This episode involved a
trip to India and a wedding. The out of order chronology made the

and enjoyment.

Kramer insists that California is a seductress and once arriving there it will not be possible to leave. During the flight George can do nothing but complain about how small the plane is and how Ted Danzan probably had a better plane when he worked for NBC. In the air the plane has troubles and everyone contemplates death. The plane sets down in a small town for repairs. The gang goes out on foot as the pilot will notify them via a beeper when the plane is ready. Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George watch as a short fat man is robbed. They laugh at him and watch as the robber takes off on foot. The man reports this to the local police which arrest the four and notify them that they have violated a good somaritan law which requires citizens to make reasonable efforts to help other people. The four faces a fine and up to 5 years in prison. They call Jackie Chiles the famous lawyer from the show to represent them and a trial ensues. Newman travels to the town to watch the final fall of his nemesis Jerry. George Steinbrenner of the Yankees travels to the trial to watch the plight of his former employe George Costanza. The trial assembles memorable characters from throughout the 9 seasons of Seinfeld including the bubble boy which George deflates after a fight over a trivial pursuits question with the answer moops and not moors. Other characters include Babo which got deported because Jerry did not check his mail. The virgin that felt betrayed because of the game the fab four embarked on to see how long they could go without sex also attended. Also the low talker which made the puffy shirts, the library cop, Terry Hatcher (who played a character Elaine felt up to see if her breasts were real), and others such as the Soup Nazi. The trial ends with the group found guilty and sentenced to prison. The group ponders nothing in jail for a while just as their lives were. Jerry later goes back to his stand up routines in prison in which he pokes fun of prisoners from Cell block D. The show about nothing was at an end and many around the world mourned the loss of the greatest comedy for thinking minds ever conceived. Multi threaded plots with plot lines converging elements from one episode and season to the next leave much to be amazed about. Superior writing is the essence of the show about nothing for only a skilled writer can take nothing and make something.
