Review of In a Lonely Place (1950) by Infinitus C — 15 Nov 2003
The writers have no concept, internal or otherwise, of the capabilities of the characters depicted in the show. Worse, they commit the worst error a JLA writer can make - failure to utilize the powers of the members in a reasonable manner.
Seinfeld.
6. The Opposite (5) - Jerry suggests that George try acting on the opposite of his every instinct. George is soon approaching beautiful women without pretense and lands a job with the Yankees. Elaine, meanwhile, loses her job when her predilection for Juji Fruit helps torpedo a merger that would have kept Pendant Publishing afloat. Kramer goes Regis & Kathie Lee to promote his new coffee table book.
7. The Parking Garage (3) - The group gets lost in a parking garage at a New Jersey Mall, when George is late for dinner with his parents and Elaine has a fish with a deadline.
8. The Puffy Shirt (5) - Jerry unwittingly agrees to wear a puffy shirt, designed by Kramer's low-talking girlfriend, on the Today Show. George has to move back in with his parents, but enjoys a brief reversal in fortune as a hand model.
9. The Pez Dispenser (3) - Jerry inexplicably puts a pez dispenser on Elaine's knee during a performance by George's pianist girlfriend, ruining her concentration. George later, at Kramer's suggestion, pre-emptively breaks up with her to gain the upper hand in the relationship.
10. The Handicap Spot (4) - George parks in a handicap spot at the mall when the group goes shopping for a wedding gift for the Drake. A woman in a wheelchair has an accident as a result, and the car (Frank's) is demolished. Kramer later falls in love with the woman, but he and George scrimp on the replacement chair, with disastrous results.
