According to Google, the whole Europe story goes like this: "Years ago when I was backpacking through western Europe I was just outside Barcelona hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path and I came to a clearing, there was a very secluded lake and there were tall trees all around, it was dead silent and across the lake I saw a beautiful woman bathing herself... but she was crying. I hesitated, watching, struck by her beauty. And also by how her presence; the delicate curve of her back, the dark sweep of her hair, the graceful length of her limbs, even her tears, added to the majesty of my surroundings. I felt my own tears burning behind my eyes, not in sympathy, but in appreciation of such a perfect moment. She spied me before I could compose myself. But she didn't cry out. Instead our eyes held and she smiled, enigmatically, fresh tears still spilling down her cheeks. I was frozen. I knew nothing about this woman, and yet, as we stood on opposite sides of a pool of water, thousands of miles from my own home and everyone I had ever known, I felt the most intense connection. Not just to her, but to the earth, the sky, the water between us. And also to the entirety of mankind. As if she symbolised thousands of years of the human condition. I wanted to go to her, to comfort her, to probe this feeling of belonging I had never encountered before. But I couldn't. Because I knew that if I spoke, if she spoke, that moment would be ruined. And I knew I would need the memory of that moment to carry me through the inevitable dark patches throughout my life. And so I watched her lower her hand, turn and slowly walk to the shore opposite me. The rest of her perfect form was gradually revealed to me, and I held my breath as I watched her disappear behind a copse of trees near the water. I didn't follow her, in fact I turned around. I knew there was nothing else we could experience together that would be more perfect than that moment... and it still remains the most profound experience of my life." No idea if it's ever been confirmed though! Parts of E3 were rewritten after 9/11 because of a subplot involving Chandler and Monica being arrested and detained at the airport after Chandler jokes about having a bomb. The writers and producers agreed they could not use it and rewrote it. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/_p5i7lu2pGQ?si=3uwBTFRKBDsgIFW9. I understand and respect that they changed it but it was so much better imo, especially the payoff of the last joke 🤣 Goof: In the opening scene of E3, Chandler goes into the bedroom to pack his speedo and when he returns he has a different haircut (that was probably due to re-shoots). Also, Phoebe is wearing a sweater that looks just like the one Ross and Tag both have. Plot hole? When Joey and Phoebe call Monica about the supposed gas leak in the apartment, they are calling from her and Chandler' phone. Monica should have seen the phone number and known they were already inside.

2024-09-14 11:11:59 +0000 UTCDID she think she was right, though? She knew perfectly well what she was doing there, it's just that it didn't even cross her mind, the possibility of Ross knowing the story as well. So in a strange way, they were both right.

2024-07-10 14:28:59 +0000 UTCI mean, when it comes to the probability of who coming on to who(m), then Rachel, for sure, obviously! Did we forget that she basically tried to seduce his guts out right before he was going to sleep with Julie? her suggesting their bonus night? her being the one to initiate their marriage? I don't know why it seems so far out there that this was her first move here, too. Yeah, he was into her longer, but when she wants Ross, Rachel proved time and time again that she can be relentless (occasionally cruelly so, when it comes to his other relationships).

2024-07-10 07:06:16 +0000 UTC30:10 Joey and literature, lol ... ahhh, Joey is laughing now ... thinking he'd never need Ross's help with a lady in the future

Viera Galikova
2024-07-05 17:26:25 +0000 UTCShe's been in that position a few times. When she thought Chip Matthews left her a message and when she was walking through Vegas not realizing Ross drew on her, for example. 😄

2024-07-05 16:58:33 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know what exactly is depicted on the Etch-A-Sketch behind Ross at the 6:00 mark? I know this was filmed shortly after 9/11, but the picture looks like a person jumping out of a tall building with a plane in view, too. Surely they wouldn't have been this insensitive, but what else is it supposed to be?!

2024-06-30 05:00:44 +0000 UTCI went business class quite recently, the lounge was spacious, free food and drink, and the seats on the flight amazing! Your own side table and you could collapse the seats into a bed! (blankets and pillows provided).

2024-06-28 09:27:31 +0000 UTCepisode 4 is one of the BEST episodes of Friends. I agree. The writing just pays off so well. So amazing.

2024-06-23 18:33:05 +0000 UTCYaass! now you're seeing why season 8 is my favorite. It doesn't get the credit it deserves imo. I know ross and rachel get a lot of flack nowadays but the show was built on ross and rachel and it just works better when they're back in focus imo. Not saying that chandler and monica aren't awesome cuz they are (especially in the begining) and the show needed to switch it up for a while, but this is an awesome return to form.

2024-06-23 10:51:44 +0000 UTCI always thought that Season 8 brings back dynamics from Season 1. But I don't like Season 7 so I thought I was just excited to see better writing again. Was surprised to see you've mentioned it too :) It's not even the end of the week but I'm already waiting for the next Friday :D So many more great episodes are coming!

2024-06-22 19:50:02 +0000 UTCit's eerie they filmed a scene like this right before 9/11, giving me the "meant to be" vibes.......

2024-06-22 12:27:29 +0000 UTCSeason 8 started airing right after 9/11, and they decided to rewrite the airport scene for reasons which will become obvious once you watch the original scene. You can find the original scene on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p5i7lu2pGQ

2024-06-22 02:47:12 +0000 UTCHey Nick, Thanks for all the great reactions - your Friends reviews have been part of my Friday night tradition since you started them and watching you watch Once More With Feeling this week made my month! Your videos used to all be castable to other devices but the last few weeks the option hasn’t been available either through the web browser or the app. Do you know if somethings changed on your end or Patreons? It’s so much better to watch on TV so I can see the content and you too - you’re so tiny on my phone!!

2024-06-21 23:08:39 +0000 UTCJennifer Aniston's acting in this season is top tier! Her reaction to not seeing her baby is so good. This is her Emmy award winning season and it shows. Episode 4 is a top Friends episode. The way they tied in the backpacking story and Ken Adams is such good writing.

2024-06-21 22:25:22 +0000 UTCross being right was such a funny reveal 🤣🤣 i love that episode so much
Erika
2024-06-21 22:25:03 +0000 UTCI knew who the father was but I couldn’t remember how long it would be before we saw the “Sweater” scene and The Episode with the Video Tape. I actually forgot for a moment 😱 There is blooper footage of the gang loosing it when Jennifer is about to stomp on the video. I love when they fight and even afterwards, Ross is there to comfort him. I think we all knew that he would want to be a part of the process after everything we saw when Carol was pregnant.

Andrea Winston
2024-06-21 21:54:40 +0000 UTCRoss always puts his foot in his mouth so it's absolutely hilarious to see him try to go first and then get shocked by the pregnancy news lol but Rachel too, with her thinking she's right and then she was wrong about who came onto who 😂

2024-06-21 21:14:09 +0000 UTCThe one with the videotape is one of my favorite episodes.

2024-06-21 20:28:49 +0000 UTCI was very happy that Ross was right in the end and Rachel for once got embarrassed! That was pure vindication! 😂
Equinox
2024-06-21 18:43:08 +0000 UTCI love that Ross and Rachel are so much more mature now than when they were a couple. Back then, Ross would have been all over having a new relationship with Rachel because he put her on a pedestal. But now, they have such a beautiful friendship and love between them. I just love them together.
