(plot). A subway ride leads to four very bizarre experiences for the gang. Train delays cause Elaine to miss a lesbian wedding, Jerry befriends an overweight exhibitionist, George meets a woman on the train and skips a job interview and Kramer overhears a hot tip on a horse.

The Subway is a brilliant episode, that's quite hilarious and very clever, as the the story is top notch in this one!. I think the scene where all 4 of them get off the train and look at each other and go there separate ways and then Elaine says see ya, that would have been another really cool ending to the final Seinfeld episode, and this is extremely well written by Larry Charles and directed by Tom Cherones, plus the scene where Jerry is getting sleep on the train and is falling all over the place is very funny. I also loved Kramer's reaction when The horse he picked wins, and the ending is very funny, as George's character did something so stupid but it was just so hilarious, plus Jerry's opening stand up about Bumper cars was very funny. It's very well made, and I loved Elaine's freaking out scenes when The train suddenly stops, plus this is one of my favorite episodes on season 3!. Barbara Stock and Ernie Sabella are both great as the Scam woman and the naked guy on the train, and I feel this episode is very underrated, plus I thought it was kind of cool that the blind man on the train was actually an undercover cop!. The Subway is a brilliant episode, that's quite hilarious and very clever, as the story is top notch in this one and I say go see it now Seinfeld fans if you Haven't!. ***** out of 5

(Elaine freaking out when the Train stops part 1). Elaine: Oh this is great this is what I need, just what I need, OK take it easy, I'm sure it's nothing, probably rats on the track, They're stopping for rats!, god it's so crowded, how could there be so many people?, this guy really smells, Doesen't anyone use deodorant in this city?, what is so hard?, you take a cap off and roll it on.

(Elaine freaking out on the train pat 2).
