Storyline:: After seeing a couple on their honeymoon get advantages, Monica decides to compete with them by trying to get the same advantages since Monica and Chandler are on their honeymoon too.
Characters: Monica and Chandler
Review: I will say that this storyline will be easy to review since it has been used so many times. Monica still tries to compete against another group of people who now are on their honeymoon like her and Chandler. In the same case as all other storylines that involve her competitiveness, she never wins, which I think is funny. The story did have a few funny moments such as Monica telling Chandler to "Grab my ass" (just like Rachel did to Ross in The One Where Ross and Rachel You know), and Monica freaking out there were oranges in the first class suite. My big problem was that Chandler wasn't Chandler tonight; he really made no funny sarcastic remarks or a joke for goodness sake except after he hears that Joey smells gas. What I really can say is this is so far the worst Mondler storyline this season, and hope that it doesn't continue like this, like in Season 6. I don't hate Mondler storylines; I wish they would be more exciting and not have Monica being all "me-me-me."
Storyline Grade: 70 (C) -------------------------------------- Storyline:: Phoebe and Joey need to get into Monica's apartment realizing that neither of them have keys to the apartment. So they call Mr. Treeger and lie to him saying "there's a gas leak" and they need to get in. Unfortunately instead of using the key to get into Monica's apartment, the firemen break down the door, leaving Joey and Phoebe frightened of how to tell Monica the door is broken.
Characters: Joey, Phoebe, and Mr. Trigger.
Review: Hint: if a storyline that involves mainly two people and takes place in the same setting, you pretty much know that it really has no importance and is a filler. But unlike Monica and Chandler's storyline this one comes out with laughs every now and then.. One point I can mention that was funny was when Joey broke Monica's chair accidentally to make it sound like he broke down the door over the phone to Monica. Joey and Phoebe didn't really involve just around "the door being broken" storyline, but they were also apart of the Rachel and Ross storyline, which I will discuss later. But them being apart of RnR's storyline showed that the door storyline was weak too. The only other funny part, when Joey and Phoebe talked about how great it is to be in love and how everything is changing, seemed liked it was also recycled idea from another episode (The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel). Where in that same episode in the tag, they talk about hooking up too and the possible future of them two. Sadly the door storyline didn't go anywhere or was it really not supposed to? But that's ok because of the reason that Joey and Phoebe were apart of RnR's storyline.
Storyline Grade: 82 (B) ------------------------------------ Storyline:: Rachel finely tells Ross that she is pregnant, with his child. But a bigger problem comes a long when Rachel and Ross get in a quarrel about whether or not they should be together because of the child.
Characters: Ross, Rachel and partially Joey and Phoebe.
Review: Once again Rachel being pregnant storyline dominated the episode, as you can tell when the other two storylines really didn't go anywhere. Of course tonight's episode mainly evolved around Rachel telling Ross he is the father which created a few big laughs and questions that we, the audience, wonder too. First off Ross' expression after hearing he is the father of Rachel's baby really didn't live up to Joey's reaction to uncertain things, but it was good for laughs. I think the reason that Ross was mainly surprised was because he knew that he had used a condom when he and Rachel had intercourse and not knowing that they were 97% unreliable. I pretty much laughed when Ross freaked out and decided to call the condom company to complain to them about how they should say that there condoms are 97% unreliable in big letters. "I'll press one!" At the same time it raised a few questions of whether or not Ross and Rachel should become a couple again because of the baby. Unfortunately that question was not really answered. Darn!- One of my favorite parts of the storyline was Ross being there with Rachel at the hospital who was getting a sonogram. That part created a lot of laughs with Rachel consistently telling Ross to not look "down there" and Rachel not being able to see the baby in the sonogram which was a size of a peanut. As I mentioned J&P were apart of the storyline too. They created a lot more laughs than they did in their own storyline. The best parts that Kudrow and LeBlanc delivered were: Joey and Phoebe's fake surprise they found out that Rachel was pregnant….with Ross' baby and Joey pulling out the condoms out of his pocket to see if they really are only 3% reliable. I can tell right now that the baby-Ross and Rachel storyline will most likely dominate most of the episodes this season. But the tag with Joey not being able to see the baby either, wasn't as funny as it was supposed to be.
