The One After Joey and Rachel Kiss

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 12 September 2011]

A great beginning of a new season. I absolutely love the scene where Phoebe, Chandler and Monica listen to the couples through the wall. Especially when Monica realizes that Ross is her brother. Or when Ross comes into their room and they pretend to be hugging hotel good bye, which Ross then does as well!

It is also great how Ross knocks on Rachel's door and Joey tries to act non chalant. As well as when the other three pull him over through the door

It is also funny how Rachel believes that Joey told it to Ross when she talks to him on the plane

The whole idea of Mike having a girlfriend and Phoebe at the end breaking up with her was pretty good as well

The story with Monica's hair shows once again how bland as a group they are and that they disapprove of every small look change that isn't considered to be a norm. But this time it is done in a funny way

And we get a very dramatic episode ending. So all in all the episode is full of original and funny jokes

I loved when Phoebe knows Mike has a girlfriend!

Monica, Phoebe and Chandler are in Monica's and Chandler's room, and they listen to Ross and Charlie kissing in Ross' room, while Rachel and Joey kiss in Rachel's room. The trio is shocked with these sudden change of relationships and they try to listen everything they say through the walls.

Ross says to Charlie that he needs to talk to Joey before he does anything with her and Charlie understands him. (Joey and Rachel also decide to talk to Ross before anything happens with them).

Monica goes to a beauty parlor to fix her hair, but she gets out from there with her hair even more messy, full of selfish, what makes Chandler stays petrified. (He hated Monica's new hair)

Phoebe talks to Mike about staying in his house when they arrive in New York, but Mike says that he has a date with his girlfriend. Phoebe is very surprised to see that Mike is dating, but he says that he is going to end his relationship with ''Precious'' as soon as he can.

Ps: The jokes with Monica's hair are the best!

The One In Barbados...

[taylorkingston · 8/10 · 19 October 2014]

Well, we're hear. The last Season Premiere of Friends. It's kind of sad, because it is the beginning of the end. I don't want it to end. Even though I didn't start watching it until 2006, and it had already ended. But still.

In this episode, we pick up where the Season 9 Finale ended. Rachel and Joey's kiss. Now, a lot of people probably wanted this to happen. A lot probably didn't. Some where fans of Rachel and Joey and some were fans of Rachel and Ross. I was a Rachel and Joey fan, so I was happy to see this finally happen. But, then, it got awkward. Monica, Chandler and Phoebe finally find out what they were hearing behind their hotel wall. It was Ross and Charlie kissing. And it was Rachel and Joey kissing. Jeez, I've typed Rachel and Joey at least three times by now. Phoebe is listening to Ross and Charlie, and Monica and Chandler are listening to Joey and Rachel. There's a fourth time. Both Ross and Rachel decide to hold off on anything further happening, so they can talk to each other, out of respect. On the plane ride home, Ross tells Joey about him and Charlie, but Joey doesn't tell Ross about him and Rachel. But, back in New York, Ross walks in on Rachel and Joey kissing.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10.

The One with Monica's Double Standards

[swordsnare · 7/10 · 17 April 2022]

The irony that Monica gets her hair braided with Cowrie Shells and thinks it's great, when she gave Chandler grief over a wearing a Puka Shell Necklace after their honeymoon.

The start of the end

[studioAT · 6/10 · 16 August 2017]

This episode marks the start of the final series of 'Friends' and gets things underway in style.

I loved all the listening through the walls at the start of the episode, and also the scene on the plane.

Matt LeBlanc and Jennifer Aniston still somehow make the Joey/Rachel love story seem believable, even though as viewers we secretly still hope that Ross and Rachel will reunite.

The Monica/Chandler and Phoebe/Mike story lines had their moment, but the main focus of this episode is the Joey/Rachel story.
