--------One thing that has always bothered me about the finale. Jerry,George,Elaine and Kramer are never given the opportunity to go on the stand to offer a rebuttal to any of the testimony against them. Jackie Chiles never cross examined any of these character witnesses either. Their word is just taken as gospel and never questioned. As we know many of these incidents were really not the result of malicious behavior on the main characters' parts and if given the chance to explain this could very easily be made clear.

*** It wasn't just bad luck. George's girlfriend Cheryl was a lawyer who tried to keep Babu from being deported. When she find out George and Jerry had been lying to her, she dropped Babu's case, causing him to get deported. Presumably she told Babu exactly why she wouldn't help him anymore, explaning why he blames them for it.

** I'm not quite sure if it was ever stated outright if Nina slept with George or not. Anyway, the whole "Betrayal" was once again George's neurotic tendencies making something out of nothing. A good amount of his desire for Nina came from the fact that Jerry never slept with her. Once he found out that he had (and at the exact same time he introduced her to him) he felt "betrayed". You could also make an argument that George was concerned that the two would get back together, but his actions (and Nina's total lack of desire for Jerry in the rest of the episode outside of that one scene) suggest that George felt cheated because Jerry slept with her before him. This isn't ithe first time this has happened either; in "The Hamptons" George threw a fit because everyone saw his girlfriend topless before he did. In fact one of his lines from that episode perfectly sums up his actions in both cases:

** Well obviously, but in-universe, what was the reason? Was he slightly intimidated by Kramer's persona so he let him through? And conversely didn't feel threatened by the nebbish, stout George and thought he could get away with being a stickler towards him? That's the only explanation I can come up with.

to:

** Plus, when Jerry and Elaine visit Babu in custody to explain to him what happened, they, characteristically, find humor and levity in the entire situation, which causes them to laugh and chuckle as they explain it to him. In his shoes, of course, he fails to see the humor in his situation, and because they're seemingly laughing at him, he jumps to the conclusion that they're mocking and belittling him, which is what he testifies to in the finale.


Added DiffLines:

** The clothes are a little tacky, which is a pretty common trope unto itself that almost all tourists dress really tacky when they travel. Plus, it was more than just the clothes; if you recall, he also was walking around the streets looking at maps and not knowing where he was going (for a league meeting), both of which supported the misconception that he was an out-of-towner.


Added DiffLines:

** If he's lost and doesn't know what he is, how is he going to know what trains to get on to get him back home?

* With so many people on this show - both on and off camera - being Jewish, how is it this show never did a Hanukkah episode? This show seems to be just before [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad networks really went overboard with political correctness]], but I find it a little interesting with so many Jews involved with the show, there's never any celebration of Hanukkah.

** Okay, update: [[http://wikirhymer.com WikiRhymer]] suggests "clitoris", but that only works if you [[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable stress the second syllable instead of the first]]. It strains suspension of disbelief to imagine that Jerry, Dolores, and all of Dolores's childhood classmates pronounced this word the same way when every dictionary insists on another pronunciation. Is it something else?

** It's quite possible that the woman was emplyed by a cleaning company that is completely seperate to the company George works for. For example, the owners of the buliding hire the cleaning company to clean all floors of the building, while George's company simply rent a floor in said building. That way George and the cleaning lady interact in the same office but have completely different employers.

* What "female body part" does "Dolores" rhyme with? It's apparently so obvious that it doesn't need to be explained and provokes a near instantaneous response from the studio audience, but the name doesn't seem to rhyme with any nouns at all except for "torus".

** Out-of-universe, Cranston could also have been required to wear particular styles or facial hair for other roles that he had; actors are sometimes contractually obliged to develop or keep a particular look for a character (if they're doing a nightly theatre production, or a feature film where they might be called to set at irregular intervals over a period of months, and so on) that they'll have to wear in other, smaller roles that they might also get during the production. So on some occasions Cranston might have had another role which, say, required him to have a beard and the ''Seinfeld'' producers were okay with him keeping it since, hey, who cares if Jerry's dentist has a beard this time? In-universe, as above, Tim's probably just one of those people who's constantly trying out a new look.

** It was probably sorted out that George ''wasn't'' aiding Celia, since she had just showed up at his place when Kurt came to talk to him.



** He might've been speaking based on his parents' marriage, which was implied to be pretty bad, since he spent several years without speaking to his mother.



* How on earth do people think the characters are bad? Minus, George and perhaps early Elaine, they all seem to have misunderstandings rather than any actual malice. Even the last bit of making fun of a fat guy getting robbed was more out of thoughtlessness than malice. Now "Friends" on the other hand, very unlikable. Even the song of the clip sow with Green Day is much more happier and warm than the suicidal snobby Everlanse song on the "Friends" finale. Making fun of a tomboy, making fun of autistic people? Nothing likable about that. Plus they are assholes to each other. Even if they are equally likable, they're still white supremacists. Why are some people so dumb and forgetful. The countless times the "Seinfeld" gang tried to help others, although sometimes it backfired and they made mistakes. Jerry even apologized to his girlfriend in season 9 to beg her to come into the apartment to avoid being hurt by the man he thought was the Lopper, although that turned out to be one of George's pals instead.
