A Unique End...

SEINFELD's season finale was taken with many differing opinions. The show itself was much different in atmosphere and interplay between many of its themes. The biggest impression I got from the season finale was that the characters were over-the-top. Throughout the episode George was especially neurotic and anxious. Kramer seemed much more strange, if it was possible than ever before. Jerry and Elaine, who throughout the series were more mellow and laid back, kept up their usual demeanor. In the scene directly preceding the NY Four's departure, Newman simply freaks out. Throughout the show he was always a little over the top but in this scene especially, you see him in a much different light. He really is insane.

This along with the constant allusions and flashbacks to previous episodes made the SEINFELD season finale what it was. It, much like other season finales takes a long look back at the entire history of the show and wraps it up in a nice, neat package. But because of the strange nature that the events went along, about half of the viewers didn't like it and the other half loved it. Regardless of anyone's opinion's about the season and series finale of SEINFELD, the one element is still there. SEINFELD was always unique.
