Here's the spoiler space. . s p o i l e r

. . Um . . . I was SO surprised that the ad for tonight's episode was actually what happened! No bait and switch tactics, just a genuine spoiler for the end of the episode.

Of course, Ross is going to get all whimpy about it, and miss the chance to nip it in the bud. So, we will have to endure another 20+ episodes before anything gets decided. And maybe they will do a cliff-hanger in May that will NOT decide the deal either.

*David Buehrle* :

I don't see trailers, luckily, but this episode was one of the most predictable ever IMHO.

Would be nice to know whether the show was written before the writers knew there was a good chance for a tenth season.

I wish I had that POV, too, because I'd be positively surprised if it wasn't to happen.

Don't try to predict the season finale before you've seen the spring sweeps episodes. OTOH in the past it was quite successful to predict a cliffhanger involving R&R.

What would be an interesting twist is if there is people watching that are still on pins and needles as to what is going to happen. This show is now getting about as much buzz as Star Search.

still bitter because Joey isn't with Rachel? It's been a year pal... Do you think if they were together it would redeem whatever went wrong in your life Johnson W.?

Well, I can't speak for Johnson W, but I think a proper ending would right all the wrongs in *my* life. ;-)

Seeing Joey together with Rachel, (even though I made absolutely no reference to them in the previous post), would mean about as much to me as your apparently incessant need to find this Johnson character means to you.

The attempts to paint a Joey & Rachel fan as someone who has a depraved obsession is painful to see, considering when you see all the people who literally spend their lives on the internet more or less waxing poetic about Ross & Rachel in some form.

You even said yourself there's a good chance that Joey & Rachel could become something now that there's a 10th season. And if all you have read are the spoilers at nbcmv.com, there's one tiny little tidbit missing from those descriptions that you'll see coming real soon...

I don't need to find you, you're already here

I don't generally paint a Joey & Rachel fan like that, only one who keeps making appearances under changing screen names to repeat what he has to say.

Same here. I was even more surprised since 911 had me believe for once they'd introduce a male guest character who'd not mess with their situation in this way

if you look at http://www.nbcmv.com/entertainment/program_detail.nbc/friends.html, you'll get a pretty good idea of how this is going to unfold :(

It is getting ever so annoying, isn't it? The worst part is, apart from that bit at the end, this was a very enjoyable episode, Chandler playing with the helium balloons, Joey showing just how much of a "gentleman" he is and how Mike got Phoebe to get rid of the rats. Then they have to bring in this lame old plot device again :( And it's especially bad this time, since 909 made it look as though they might go for a different approach

Well, maybe this time it's for good. j/k

OTOH doesn't Ross owe her some? Judy (Julie?) from China + the bald beach house girl + Emily + Mona vs. ./. (Corrections welcome.)

That would be - time passes - I knew her name just a few seconds ago... Bonnie!

Yeah, that's something that has always amused me. Since they broke up, the only relationship Rachel has been in that lasted at least for a little while was with Tag (that whole Joshua thing never got anywhere imho), while Ross dated Bonnie, got married to Emily, dated that student girl, and last but not least there was Mona. And if we count everyone they've dated, Ross's list would be like 5 pages, while Rachel's list would probably be just a about a page.

It seems like they're doing a pretty good job as far as annoying their core fan base is concerned though. Huge numbers of them have tuned out, or just watch out of habit without really caring anymore. Just look at the group and think back to a year ago (or even further)

All that sounds painfully likely. I hope it won't be too excruciating.
