The Monica and Chandler stuff was funny (especially Chandler's screw-ups). Phoebe's subplot was pointless. Ross acting crazy and constantly saying he's fine got annoying after a while. There's only so much Mental Geller I can take in one episode. And I like Charlie a little less.

:talk: Do not disagree with anything you said, BUT this episode was funny!! Think the Phoebe sub plot was a device to get Ribisi in for the final season--I am so glad--always loved that character, although I missed Alice! Now, if they can get Estelle in b4 the end, I will be really happy!

What made this one good was that you knew that Chandler was going to tell the kid, you knew he wasn't supposed to. You knew Monica was going to love the 'white binder' (she didn't take it!?) Why?--because we know these characters. This is the kind of thing they are supposed to do. Predictable is good in this situation. This is why the sp was so poor.

Schwimmer has always been great at the goofiness stuff,(the leather pants ordeal was absolutely classic) but yes, I agree, it did seem to go 4-ever. Think they are trying to phase Charlie out, so not giving her much to do was understandable.
:happyface

I thought this episode was pretty funny. I kind of liked Ross being "fine"....he didn't seem as annoying as usual. I like Charlie a little less too.

I was so happy to see Frank Jr back, but I missed Alice! I hope they can come back again before the end of the series, but I doubt that will happen. I wished they would've included the triplets a little more though.

Chandler was great in this episode! It was hilarious when he told Owen he was adopted because, for some reason, it caught me off-guard a little. :)

I didn't see the Chandler thing coming at all. I thougt the kid would annoy him, turn him off on adoption. And the audience reaction (no I don't believe it was enhanced in post-production) was really genuine. I was busting up.

The Ross stuff, can you say....embarrassing. Mayyyyybe if he was drunk prior to their arrival, but because he was sober and resembling a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I just shook my head at it. GET OVER IT! As you said, you haven't dated the woman in six years, what do you care?! Except the fact that your good friend could end up your kid's stepfather. Otherwise, get some help.

It was a funny episode but also sad.... Ross clearly still had feelings and this was really killing him......if I were Charlie with all the problems this love triangle had ... I would have said Joey... Ross....bye
