The One Where Ross Dates a Student

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 19 August 2011]

This is the beginning of the great storyline where Ross dates his student Elizabeth. I found it pretty funny, how she evaluated him as the hottie of the paleontology department, how he pushes her into the wall when he sees other professors and also how they make out in his office when she is so turned on by the idea that their relationship is forbidden.

I also like the story of Phoebe and Rachel's apartment burning down. I just wonder why they would first want to live with Monica, they both did it before and should know what to expect.

Joey was a riot this episode. How he threw spaghetti on the floor and then ate them. And how he was showing Chandler that they should have pizza after the call. And of course "thursday the third day" part

Ross is going out with Elizabeth!

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 9 June 2009]

Ross is very excited that one of his students wrote a good evaluation about him. Since the evaluations are anonymous, he doesn't have any way to know who wrote it, but eventually we are going to see that it was Ross' student, Elizabeth, who did it. She invites him to go out with her, and this makes Ross in doubt about going out with her or not.

Joey wants Chandler's help to get a role in a movie, since one of Chandler's University friends, Dana Keystone, became a movie director and is going to direct the new Al Pacino's movie. Chandler doesn't want to meet Dana because he doesn't see her for a long time and he doesn't have courage to ask her a role to Joey, but Joey insists to much that he calls her to dinner.

Rachel and Phoebe's apartment is on fire. Phoebe thinks that is her fault, since she is always lighting candles. They both need to stay in a different place while their apartment is out of order, so Phoebe goes to Joey's house and Rachel to Monica's. When they discover that the main cause was a hair straightener that was on, they change places. But Rachel has much more fun in Joey's house then Phoebe in Monica's.

Professor Geller Dates A Student

[vivianla · 21 December 2020]

Ross comes in with his briefcase and reads a student's evaluation of him saying he is a hottie in the palaeontology department.

The student comes over as Ross posts the marks. She asks him out and Ross says it is only frowned upon to date a student and asks what time.

She is turning 21 soon and can't drink. Ross introduces her to his colleagues in the cafe and they tell him he will get fired.

Ross checks out the rules in his office and finds out it does state there you cannot date a student.

The student looks seductively and says she loves how it is forbidden. Ross gives in and they do a lot of kissing.

Another episode where the actions of Ross are questionable, but on the whole this all works well.

Apartment swapping/changing roommates was the way that 'Friends' found new storylines in S6, and there's more of that here.

The best storyline is one involving Chandler and Joey.

Another episode that could go either way...and can't

[jpapanone · 5/10 · 20 June 2021]

Decide what it is.

I almost gave it a 6.

Literally...good scene....bad scene....good scene...bad scene.

So...do the good outweigh the bad... Or do the bad outweigh the good?

The bad annoys me more than the good pleases me.

The good are not good enough to overshadow the bad.

Another miss episode...which from here on out is pretty much the rule.

Episodes that swing more the opposite will be few and far between.

Good scenes are more classic Friends. Bad scenes are the annoying 2.0 Friends where everyone's annoyances are highlighted and turned up to 11.
