What were you saying to the Rosses over there anyway?

George Costanza: What is that?
Jerry Seinfeld: Star Trek 2.

The Plot of the episode: After George's wife to be Susan(from Season 4)died in the season finale of season 7, George plans on starting over and relaxing. It doesn't last long when Jerry says a quote from The Rath of Khan that convinces Susan's parents to start a foundation. Led by George. When Elaine's boss Peterman(John O'Hurly) leaves for Burma, he leaves Elaine in charge of the company. Kramer convinces her to use the ideas that she has. He convinces her to run the catalog. Kramer has started karate with children and is beating them up. He gave Elaine a speech from Star Trek 3 that convinces her to do it.
The Foundation is a hilarious episode. Every Seinfeld episode is amazingly funny. That explains why the show is the best show of all time. I don't think any show could top it. I have seen The Foundation a hundred times. Before, I would just know it as the one where Kramer beats up kids. But now I remember which episode it is for definite. The reason why I would have forgotten is because so much happens in every Seinfeld episode. So much does happen in every Seinfeld episode. Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom of all time, and The Foundation may not be the best episode, but it's a great episode.
