Pre-Pilot Timeline

I was watching TOW the flashbacks again last night, and it occured to me that the eepisode was based one year before the pilot. In the few days the episode was based on

1) Rachel meets Monica, and has no recolection of Chandler from thanksgivings a few years before (5?) 2) Central Perk is still a bar, but the friends (4 of them then) find out its closing 3) Joey moves in, thanks to Mr Heckles 4) Phoebe moves out 5) Carol meets Susan, Ross finds out shes a lesbian 6) On some levels Rachel doesn't seem to relish the idea of being with Barry forever 7) Cute Naked Guy starts to become Ugly Naked Guy

So for the following year 1) Monica doesn't have a roommate 2) Central Perk becomes a coffee house 3) Joey gets to know the group 4) Carol and Ross have sex again, at least 10 months after she becomes a lesbian 5) Carol and Ross are still living together

Any other events in the "Season 0" year?

Why did Carol and Ross not move out for another year (almost to the day)? Why did they have sex again?

What I'd like to know is how Monica goes from a lovely dining set with 4 matching chairs to the set she has now... with mis-matched chairs?

Because Phoebe got the chairs along with all the other furniture she took?

Then again, Rachel has problems remembering Ross. The weirder thing is Chandler not remembering Rachel.

Btw Rachel and Chandler met at the 1987 & 1988 Thanksgivings.

Exactly! Especially since Ross wrote a song about her for their band, "Emotional Knapsack"!!! ~~~ Kathy

Yeah, but that was a long time ago and it was just "Ross' goofy friend", not entirely rememberable, if recognisable. I wouldn't recognise my mate's sister's friends from 5 years ago

It was indeed 5 years, and that younger Rachel was very self-centered, she almost made a point of ignoring Chandler whenever he was around.

Because they still loved each other, and they didn't give up that easily.

Check out 114 "TOW the Candy Hearts"...

ROSS: I'm here talkin' to you, and, and it's easy, and it's fun, and,
      and I don't, I don't have to... You know, here's a wacky thought.
      Um, what's say you & I give it another shot? No no no, I know
      what you're gonna say, you're a lesbian. But what do you say we
      just put that aside for now you know? Let's just stick a pin in
      it, okay? Because, we're great together, you know. You can't
      deny it. Besides, you're carrying my baby. I mean, how perfect
      is that? There's somethin' right here. I love you.

(They kiss.)

CAROL: Oh, I love you too. But...

ROSS: No but, no but.

CAROL: You know that thing you put over here with the pin in it? It's time to take the pin out. You'll find someone, I know you will.

(A beautiful woman walks by Ross, he stares at her.)

CAROL: Not her.

..and also 916 "TOW the Boob Job"...

ROSS: I'm sorry. Look I don't think that's what you wanna hear right now but I can't help it. I love marriage.

PHOEBE: Seriously?

ROSS: Look, I know my marriages didn't exactly work out. But I love
      to be that committed to another person. And Carol & I had some
      good times before she became a lesbian... and once afterward.

Another thought: This episode was based around September 1994? Meaning Joey moved in in September 1993?

In TOW the Thanksgivings, Joey got a turkey stuck on his head in thanksgiving 1992 - 10 months before he moved in.
