to think that Ross was in the wrong not Rachel? That Emily wasn't an absolute cow? Please can we have an old school friends debate?!

[MandyMcFly]

Just been watching friends...and it's been a long time since I have had a truly deep and meaningful debate about it haha.

Emily - after her and Ross split for good they acted like she was a complete bitch. Well, no actually...Ross said Rachel's name at the wedding, but she went ahead with the service. Then decided to give him another chance and went to the airport to see Ross leaving for their honeymoon with Rachel, but she still was willing to give him another chance on the conditions that he didn't see Rachel anymore. Now I know that obviously they couldn't have had Ross not seeing Rachel, but Emily wasn't actually unreasonable was she? From her point obviously it wasn't a lot to ask and she was very fair giving so many chances, right?!

And what does everybody think about the 'We Were On A Break!!' thing?

[thinks about things too much emoticon]

Now, no spoiling my fun, telling me to get a life please.

Yes, glad they got to be parents, it's a shame it ended as that storyline ended iyswim, but if the twins had been anything like Emma they'd have caused havoc for an eipsode and then gone to boarding nursery from the age of 3 weeks

I liked it when the doc said the second baby would be along soon...

Monica: 'who'll be along in a what now?'

Well I'm now thinking that Rachel should have gone to Paris, that's for sure.

as that storyline began

Hmm Ross cheated on Bonnie as well with Rachel at the beach house...after she'd shaved her head! So that's Julie, Bonnie and Rachel.

Oh I liked that too showofhands!

no I thought he was thinking about it but then didn't

He did, well he kissed her outside the house and they were interrupted by Joey & Chandler. And then the episode ends with him deciding which room to go in, and he picks Rachels but bonnie is in there too, as Rachel is rubbing suncream on Bonnies burnt head!

MandyMcFly, I actually found that episode captivating recently. Admittedly, I was in the gym trying not to die and it was on silent with subtitles. I remember thinking, so she's shaved her head and now he's going to dump her. And he's going to shag Rachel in the room opposite the one with his girlfriend in it? That's awful and so disrespectful.

Then I passed out.

oh did he?
I obviously can't remember them very well, I thought it ended with him deciding between 2 doors (B & R) and choosing Bonnie;s

Yeah techlovingdad once you get past the she-has-shaved-her-head moment, it does make him seem horribly shallow

To be fair, I didn't realise which door he'd chosen. But the fact that him standing between them was meant to show how torn he was, rather than him being an utter cunt, I didn't care for.

I'm getting old. Can you tell I have daughters?

Yeah I only know because I have seen them so many times. And I remember Bonnie was in Rachel's room having suncream applied to her head! He was rather horrible to Bonnie wasn't he.

that does ring a bell

He was, yes. But he still had that pained "oh im so torn" look on his face. Like he needed a shit.

Remembering why i hated that show.

I loved Monica and Chandler together; I thought they made a really sweet couple and brought out the best in each other.

Was it just me who thought that by the end, Phoebe's character had become really abrasive rather than kooky in a what was presumably supposed to be endearing way?

I didn't find the Ross/Rachel - 'I got off the plane' ending as touching as some but I did cry as the camera panned around the empty apartment for the last time.

The best bit of the last episode was Joey's delayed double take when the twins came home. He's just got the best expressions. It's a shame his spin off was so bad.

There were two things wrong with the ending IMO;

the last two 'jokes' (the fact they all had keys, and "where?" weren't that funny - they'd have been better off making it a non-jokey ending
so ross and rachel are back together? well so what, they get together and split up loads during the series. Why should this be any different?

I loved Monica and Chandler together too! Richard was dull and Chandler is my favourite character - the most funny IMO.

Hated the Rachel/Joey coupling and was so pleased she ended up with Ross.

I think they got rid of Emily as the Americans hated the character didn't they? I thought she was awful in it - made English people look so arrogant and unfunny.

They were on a break but imo Rachel wasn't BU by being pissed off with him for shagging another woman the same night!

Emily wasn't a bitch but she seemed to blame Rachel for Ross saying her name and not the bride's when actually the whole thing was Ross' fault.

I still remember watching that episode with my sister and stepmum for the first time with all of us screeching "WHAAAAAATTTTTT! Why the hell he do that?" When Ross said "I Ross, take thee Rachel...."

And I'll be getting a life in... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....

I liked Monica's super rich boyfriend best. Fave episode was the Brad Pitt one though.

I loved the episodes in Barbados (was it barbados?). When Rachel and Joey laughed at "Home Erectus". They'd have made a perfect couple!

CAN I JUST SAY - I SAW ROSS TODAY!!!! IN ISLINGTON! TWAS DEFINITELY HIM!

homo

And btw, I spent the last 2 hrs thinking of De Niro's movies... he should be replaced by ROSS!
