Mike (Paul Rudd)

Hey. I'm new here... I have a question that's been bugging me.

Is Paul Rudd's last ep 1001? I haven't watched that episode yet, I'm actually watching it now, but according to TV Tome it looks like it is (you don't see him guest starring again afterwards).

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but I scanned through the posts and couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance.

he's been signed on for five episodes with an option for another five this season.

Thanks. :) That cheered up me a whole lot. I'm probably the only person who likes Mike...

I don't mind Mike, I'd prefer David or Gary though

Ugh, Gary was even worse than Mike.

David was great, I'd prefer Ross though.

For Pheebs, not me, I hasten to add. :)

Hehe...Ross & Phoebe! Seems someone else thought that was an interesting matchup in TOW The Flashback. I would have liked to see something come out of that. It would have been interesting, to say the least.

Sharky, actually. ;)

And yes, wouldn't that be the craziest twist ever!

You know, Ross does like being married; and Phoebe wants marriage to get some normalcy in her life...hmmm...

Who knows! ;)

Lol, sorry!

It was beautifully foreshadowed in 817 "TOW the Tea Leaves".

This is what Ken Tucker, TV critic of Entertainment Weekly, wrote in his review (reference 0,6115,216140~3~0) of this episode...

• I have an obvious theory but I'm stickin' with it: By the time
• "Friends" ends after its next season, it'll be "Marrieds" - that is,
• in addition to Monica and Chandler, Joey will marry Rachel, and Ross
• will marry Phoebe. I was shy about mentioning this theory until last
• night's episode, which planted what I think is a clue. The premise of
• the scene was that Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe was reading tea-leaves at the
• coffee shop, and when she read her own, the fortune foretold that she
• would soon meet the man of her dreams. Who was the next guy to walk
• in the door? Ross. Oh, sure, they swerved away from this fact to turn
• the moment into a subplot, but I think it's a portent of things to
• come. Mark it down: Ross and Phoebe.

Yep, RnR fans should beware the writers' motto, WE LOVE TO THWART.

why would they share such disgusting information with the public? Is is just limited to the writers or the cast as well? In any case, the small in the writers' room must be quite awful.... I hope they have plenty of room freshener around there

Umm...what?

It's a joke from our own dear Belphoebe. :)

According to the writers, working conditions are indeed awful there; if you like I will repost the article, (for about the fourth time on ATF).

Nobody seems to get my joke :( THWART looks very similar to another word beginning with F...

I've probably already read it. Either mail me, or give me a MessageID, whatever is less hassle

Nope, I got it. :)

However, the words don't rhyme; "thwart" rhymes with "wart," while "fart" rhymes with "art."

Similarly, the word "staunch" always reminds me of "stench." In the U.S., "staunch" always seems to be paired with "Republican," e.g. "Arnold Schwartzenegger is a staunch Republican." When I get really tired of hearing the word "staunch," I start to wave my hand in front of my face and say, "Ew, what's that staunch?" ;)

I never said they rhymed, I only said they looked similar :) What do I know how you pronounce stuff, I'm "zee German", hehe...

Just telling you in case you were curious. :)

Your English is much better than my German (I know almost none! :( ).

Belphoebe

P.S. I shudder to think how you might respond to Hollywood's convention of representing other languages by using accented English--e.g. "zee German" who speaks English with a fake German accent.

Blame your school system. I think they start to teach English in the second grade or something like that over here. (At that stage they only do basic stuff like numbers, letters and animal names etc. I think; I started in fifth grade but with "proper" lessons). Whereas both the British and US-American system don't really care for foreign languages AFAIK (and have heard from various exchange students), the big exception obviously being Spanish in parts of the US.

You can't really argue against it when you get Arnold Schwarzenegger running around talking the way he does, can you? You might argue he's Austrian, which is actually why he talks the way he does, but I suppose that's a differentiation that's lost on foreigners. In the case of "Snatch" (where I got the idea for that "zee Germans" thing from) I thought it was quite funny, but then again that was a British film. Hollywood only seems to think of us as thick Nazis, but you get used to it. Since I like to think of Americans as thickos with massive pronounciation issues and absolutely no knowledge of world wide affairs I guess we're even ;)

What?

Oh! It's horrifying to discover that I have such a clean mind. :(

Okay, I'll mail it.

I thought David was extremely annoying... That's why I seriously disliked the possibility of him coming back (which was disproved).

You're not the only one. I like Mike. It's perfect for Phoebe. I did not like David that much and, although I don't like Phoebe, I do think that she deserves a bit of normality and I think that Mike is higher level of normalcy she can aspire. More than that it would be toxic. ;)
