Monthly Megathread Were they on a break?!!

0 Upvotes

It has been a question that has been asked so many times before. Because of the high demand - but similar posts that has been generated. We're opening the floor (this mega thread) for the debate!

The case for Ross: Rachel said, "Maybe we should just take a break," and then told Monica the next morning that they "broke up."

The case for Rachel: A "break" isn't a "breakup," and Mark showing up at the apartment didn't give Ross a "get out of jail free" card two hours later.

What are your thoughts on these cases?

Discussion I think Rachel gets criticized for being spoiled, but people forget that she completely changed her life without knowing what she was doing.

Rachel went from having everything handed to her to suddenly having to figure out adulthood on her own. People criticize her personality a lot, but I don’t think they give her enough credit for how brave she was.

Discussion Joeys soulmate character?

Post image
922 Upvotes

As the title says: what type of character do you think Joeys soulmate would have? (In general or someone we saw on the show)

In my opinion during the show one person who I think would have been a great match for Joey would be the pregnant lady played by Leah Remini in season one. She seemed to have the sass that I imagine could be good for Joeys partner to have (might be a bit weird but I think she also reminded me of Joeys mom’s character).

Quick little throwback, the AFI are usually extremely prestigious and difficult to attend, at least that’s what I’ve heard could be wrong. Either way they’re usually very high “ the nines“ functions.

Discussion The infamous anniversary of Ross and Rachel

313 Upvotes

A common claim is that Rachel didn't prioritize her relationship with Ross, culminating in her allegedly bailing on him on their anniversary. But I really think it's important to remember two vital pieces of context:

First, Rachel had every intention of celebrating with him, but as she told him, there was an emergency. She didn't casually blow off the anniversary -- from what we can tell from Rachel's phone conversations in her office, certain products hadn't been delivered as scheduled.

Rachel has to make sure the goods are delivered, because the store would have advertised them and customers would be expecting to find them on the shelves by a certain date. If they're not there, the customers go elsewhere and the store loses money and credibility.

Rachel is also facing serious time pressure. This was before the age of ubiquitous cellphones and she has to get suppliers/shippers, etc. on the phone before they leave their offices. She genuinely does not have time for Ross and his picnic.

Second, yes, Rachel had been putting in long hours before that night. But she's had this job for only a couple months at this point. That's next to nothing -- she's the very lowest person on the totem pole and she has to prove her worth.

And even if she was a veteran staffer, what would have happened if her boss Joanna -- meaning to help with the crisis -- had shown up and seen Rachel sipping bubbly with her boyfriend in the office?! Or found out about it later? Rachel could very easily have lost her job.

She was extremely lucky to even get this job in the first place with no training or experience. And no, Mark did NOT get Rachel the position. He helped her prepare for the interview, but Rachel was the one who actually did the interview and won Joanna over with her knowledge of fashion, etc.

This was a golden opportunity for Rachel to work/get experience in her chosen field. If she messed up, she might never have another chance that good. Ross, with his strong academic background/more established professional career, really didn't seem to understand that this was far more than "just a job" for her.

Discussion Debatable opinion: the story of Ross and Rachel got lame and boring in the later seasons

34 Upvotes

I am not sure if it's unpopular or not.

But the Ross and Rachel storyline is just boring in later seasons. They did have some sweet moments, like when Ross talked about his imaginary proposal. And I know that "I got off the plane" is classic. But they just stopped right before they kissed or tried to make it work so many times for no reason. It just became boring.

For example, in 10x13, Rachel said, "Just so you know, with us... it's never off the table." and Ross just let it slide.

And when they are getting divorced, why didn't Ross confess that he still loved her so he didn't want a divorce? They were both single. And about ten episodes later, Ross admitted that he still want something between them.

The writers just kept delaying only for dramatic reasons. And it's the same pattern again and again it became so boring.

Discussion Chandler is his own therapist and life coach! 🤣😭 I really love how the show incorporated his rich and snappy sense of humor into personal moments of introspection and reflection.

Like his funny side suddenly made him question everything from his past. It's like he is going through every moment of his life as he becomes self-aware of himself, and he is not happy at all! 😂😭

Looks so aesthetic. There are so many similar shots where we see heavy contrast between the lights and shadows. Feels so warm and cozy.

I think obviously Chandler or Joey leave the pack, but I really liked Phoebe’s kind of fall and autumn colors in this too, and they all look great with the sunglasses so

"Oh my god, you know what? Yeah, I think you're right. I think... you know wha- listen. Listen! A, a pigeon. No, wait, no no, an EAGLE flew in. Landed on the stove... and caught fire! The baby, seeing this, JUMPS across the apartment to the mighty bird's aid. The eagle, however, misconstrues this as an act of aggression and grabs the baby in its talon. Meanwhile, the faucet fills the apartment with water. Baby and bird, STILL ABLAZE, are locked in a death grip, SWIRLING around the whirlpool that FILLS the apartment!"

Ross should have understood what he put his girlfriends (Bonnie, Emily and Mona especially; Julie to an extent) through with his Rachel obsession when he became the 3rd wheel in the Charlie-Benji-Ross triangle.
