Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
On the first page someone mentioned the finale. It's not my favorite episode and I had some problems with it, however, it was a very forward thinking way to end the show.

Most sitcoms end (if they get a finale) with a major character leaving or moving on in some way. I'm thinking of finales for Family Ties, Friends, and Frasier. I'm sure you can think of others. In a totally non sitcom way, Seinfeld ends with every bad thing they've done coming back to bite them in the rear end. They're paying for their sins, but even at that point, they don't learn their lesson. When we see them in the jail cell, they are still the same people we've observed for all those years. Even though that's the case, plot threads are sort of resolved by these people coming back to testify and get some sort of payback.

Endings of that sort are typically found in most dramas we've all seen. Questions and events from the very first episode are often resolved in the final one. Plot threads are resolved and everyone pays for what they may have done.

That's a lot of words about a sitcom, but it's something I find interesting.

Who doesn't! Elaine is the ultimate girl. She's cute, smart and can hang with the guys.

If only she could dance.

I bought the complete series about a month ago and have been going through it with the Notes About Nothing on since I've seen every episode at least a hundred times when it was on and in syndication. The amount of effort they put into the trivia track is amazing. You also learn a lot of useless trivia about nothing from it as well (like verbose details on the origin of cereal and a TRAGIC play by play of Game Six :()!

I never really think about buying TV box sets, but that Notes thing is making me seriously considering buying Seinfeld.

Has anyone heard Seinfeld's recent stand-up act? He's going to be in town during April and I'm wondering if it's worth going to see.

I just watched this episode today in my re-watch.

There's a scene where Elaine is going through a football magazine suggesting new names for him. One of the names she suggests: OJ.
