I wasn't waiting for an episode that everybody 'wins' because Seinfeld is not about that, but man... This was a weird lost. The episode was actually really funny. It was really good to see all the characters recurring to this episode, really memorable, the only problem that I had with this finale was only the way things ended. They are in prision and that's it. Seinfeld.

Alright, this episode grew on me. Yes, they are in a prision and that is it. It's the ideal ending. But still, it's not completely great, the timing of this episode was very odd and it didn't make me feel like I was hoping an ending to the series at all. Someone that never watched Seinfeld could easily misunderstand this as a regular episode, not a finale.

Yeah, I was stupid. This finale actually ends the purpose the show is trying to show. I guess I was focusing too much on the comedy side, while there is a whole meaning to this show about nothing... Even though it is indeed a show about nothing, it shows a different way the reality in the show could've ended: which is an absurd, that's why it fits perfectly. Everything in this show is an absolute absurd and at the same time relatable, because it shows how people really are in the inside, except in Seinfeld the inside of people is portrayed in real life by Elaine, Seinfeld, George and Kramer. Of course, people doing all these selfish and bad things that people always wanted to do but never did would be something to laugh at, because of the comedy and how relatable it can be. It's like if every character in the show were unique, never did anything someone would do in real life. That is why they end up in jail for being "super jerks". And still, at the end, nothing changed. No character development, everyone is still the same and nothing/no one will change the way they are.

Yeah, this finale grew on me. I'm giving it a 10.
