Well after watching the latest ep., I can say I'm one unhappy camper, heh
I mean wtf is the point of whole Joey/Rachel thing if nothing will happen, blah, problem is that it'd look real good, much better then Ross/Rachel right now, maybe before...
I dunno, I read there will be some sort of finish to this by the end of season... Prolly not for the better for Joey.
And wtf is up with Monica & Chandler, does that look like a married couple to you?
They don't hug, touch, kiss, and generally talk or plan what married couples usually do...
It would appear that off screen the two don't like each other, o well.. As long as they get a million per ep.
And someone should really get a life for Phoebe..
Oh well I still feel eager to watch it

I agree.
I am not a fan of the whole Joey/Rachel storyline. The whole thing about Rachel carrying Ross' baby is also pretty hard to swallow too. I guess this will probably get them back together.

Your remark about Phoebe is right on. SHe needs a life.
I have noticed that the has become kind of mean the past few seasons. She is always doing something selfish that pisses off the others. The subplot with her trying to fix Monica up with her "soulmate" in front of Chandler was just evil. I know she's supposed to be sort of a ditz, but sometimes she just comes off as obnoxious.

I just wish that Joey and Rachel would be together.

But it doesn't look that it's gonna happen that way.

I hope Joey and Rachel DON'T hook up. The show was at it's best when NO ONE was dating each other. Like the 2nd half of the 97/98 season. That's one of the funniest season. Even though the 98/99 season where Monica and Chandler were sneaking around and no one knew about it, brought some VERY funny episodes. But after everyone knew, it wasn't funny anymore.

I don't like the idea of a romance between Joey and Rachel.
We been there already with Chandler and Monica.See how dull they're turned out to be

But, if they absolutly want to do another romance.It should be happening with Joey and Phoebe.Those two belong together

Fresh Prince · 03-03-2002, 09:05 PM

I disagree, I think it would have been great, especially in episode 12 you could FEEL the chemistry between them (on Joey's part anyway), but then I guess the writers decided to cut it off.
I mean it was something new, didn't really see it coming, altho I guess that's why they have been living in same apt. for some time.

Rachel has been with Ross and I'm fed up with it, I thought Mona would be more then he deserves even, but yet a great looking girlfriend, he blew his chance and is uninteresting.

Phoebe is too much of a distressed character at the momment to be having any real relationship, least with Joey, it's like she's floating on a cloud, if they do decide to put them together it'll be like throwing a brick at the wall and they should just end the show right there.

Here's what I'd like to see...:

Monica and Chandler should get down to business and have a baby of their own and show some organisation, love in marriage for christ sakes, they're acting like they got married and now they have gone BACK to dating!?

Joey and Rachel should get together, I mean they could work really well, Joey would stop his womanising and together they would be a well situated couple.

Ross can have Mona, she's nice.

Phoebe, just marry her somewhere or send her out of town on business... who cares, she's like an appendix right now, you don't need it but it's there...
