While this season finale didn't have the excitement or the hilarity of last year's it was very good nonetheless. Nice to see the Joey/Rachel thing finally happen now that they've teased us for a year and a half about it. Now let's see what happens when Ross finds out next year. It's be hard to wait 4 months, though.
Anyway, the Friends writers love cliffhangers, every season finale except two has had one. Also, almost every season finale has had a wedding or proposal. Pretty interesting recurring theme.
