Priceless
I see some are offended by the portrayal of Indian culture. That is probably true, but this is a single, comedic portrayal. It doesn't indict an entire cultural entity. What is striking here is not the wedding itself, but the whole wonderful use of movement back in time. It is so hard to pull something like this off. The point is that the wedding was taking place--that is the fact that is there. Does anyone believe that Seinfeld represents American values in the mainstream. Hey there's Kramer, George, Elaine, Newman, and Jerry. George, especially, is a disgrace to basic human values. He is not to be admired. I thought this to be one of the most creative half hours ever.
Loved it
I really loved this episode. There were countless quick jokes and overall very intelligent. I like shows and movies that keep you guessing and this episode did that all the way through with laughs to boot! Excellent job.
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode is commonly called "The Backwards Episode"; and all events in it take place in reverse chronological order. On the Season Nine DVD set however, there is a feature which allows the viewer to watch this episode play out in normal chronology.
- GoofsNina arrives at the wedding wearing a long black skirt, but when she sits down it's a short black skirt.
- Quotes
Jerry Seinfeld: All right, I admit it. I slept with Nina - but that's all!
George Costanza: "That's all"? That's everything! I don't know what all the rest of it is for, anyway.
- Crazy creditsBecause of the backwards nature of this episode, the Castle Rock logo appears at the beginning with the lighthouse spinning the other way. Additionally, all the credits show in backwards order.
