*minor spoilers for 921*

They sure used a lot of stuff they used before. Well maybe not a lot, but some. For one there's Chandler sweeping all the stuff off the table, which David did in S1 for Phoebe. The fake accents have been done before a couple of times, most memorably in S6 when Ross pretended to be from England and Rachel and Monica gave him a hard time about it. Then there's Janice, who appears only to cause trouble (just like last year's finale), although this time around she was right.

But overall I'd say this was a pretty good episode, hopefully Ross remains this way, reminded me a lot of how Chandler used to be. Maybe not getting Charlie has finally pushed him over the edge and he'll now become the sarcastic one in the group. That'd be cool imho. I wonder what they'll do to Phoebe to fit into this highly dramatic season conclusion. I mean it's got to be on par with M+C being infertile and the Joey/Rachel/Ross/Charlie mess. If they continue down this road we will probably see more DooL actors in S10, after all, they're going to need people with soap experience. Also note how Emma is still nowhere to be seen, not even when all the girls are in the apartment.

Oh, and quote of the day: "My mouth says the words, my brain's thinking: MONSTER TRUCKS!"

Except neither Ross nor Chandler are nearly as funny as Chandler used to be.

Why would that be cool? That would just be more character destruction.

Besides, I'm sure he'll be Mental Geller again soon enough, since the writers gave up mature Ross from the early seasons years ago.

Joey gets stupider with every episode that goes by... and it seems to be harder and harder for MLB to bring the funny too. I'm so tired of stupid Joey. He used to be slightly dumb, but that didn't encompass his entire character. Two belts? Did that really make anyone laugh? It was much funnier when the drunk English guy said it in TOW M&C's Wedding anyway.

Maybe Phoebe will offer to carry M+C'c baby and then M will get pregnant when they stop trying.

I DID notice that. It has been happening gradually over the past few episodes. I think it is intended to make her more of Joey's equial than Ross's.

Shit, I'm not alone. I thought, I hoped I just imagined that.

Maybe it's time to watch season one to three again.

I must admit I laughed at the "two belts" thing. I guess I'm in the minority: I think that the more stupid Joey is, the funnier he is. I have this same discussion with fellow Simpsons fans, too, who think Homer became way too stupid after the first few seasons -- I've never thought Homer could ever be too stupid! I just laugh harder...

The Charlie/Ross/Joey thing is a rehash of the Chandler/Joey/brunette chick(not Janice!) thing from some other season, I forget which.

And I think we can now expect Phoebe to be carrying Chandler and Monica's twins in the future.

Where is the baby? She had a kid and then it went away! The "pairenting" part of the show has always lacked, Rosses part time attempt seams fewer. Cindy
