So, what did you think of the finale? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

flutterby01 · 05-16-2003, 01:12 PM

Overall, I liked it, but I was a little upset that the cliffhanger wasn't more shocking than past cliffhangers. I knew that was coming...it was obvious! Even though it was obvious, I still loved the ending!

Anyway, I thought this episode was pretty funny! I probably laughed more during this episode than the rest of the season combined.

I am so glad Phoebe chose Mike!

I agree, I liked it but its not going to be the talk of the summer. I think this season was a make shift year, caz they had to push the series finale and build up to next year. So everything planned and written this season was last second almost. Still funny IMO.

I'm not sold on Mike nor Charlie as new characters yet, they're not very funny to me, yet. Hopefully next year they'll blow us all out of the water with new material and stuff.

Overall, this season's finale isn't going to be one to remember, I'm probably going to forget half the stories when next year starts again.

my mom said the exact same thing.
i thought it was good. im glad Pheobe went with Mike. i think the couple are finally worked out right. Ross and Charlie and Joey and
Rachel.

flutterby01 · 05-16-2003, 03:04 PM

I agree with you, 90210 Dude. I liked it because I like the character of Joey, but it just wasn't suspensful at all, though I am glad Joey and Rachel may get together for a while. Unlike past cliffhangers, I wasn't thinking "Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see how this turns out!" when it ended. I'm looking forward more to the Alias premiere than the Friends premiere because that ending shocked the heck out of me!

I also hope next season is better than this season was!

I like Mike, but I am not sold on Charlie yet. I am actually kind of glad she is with Ross because it puts an end to the Ross/Rachel soap opera, at least for now. Ross is sure a terrible friend though!
I actually felt sorry for Joey!

I thought it was weird, but I was glad that Joey and Rachel finally got together, Wish everything would be interesting. It would be strange to think that they may pull a Dallas deal with Rachel thinking this was all a dream.

BotchieB · 05-16-2003, 05:41 PM

I didn't find it all that great, though the season wasn't all that funny either. Seeing the whole Joey and Rachael thing is still a bit weird, knowing the R&R history. Seems like they're running thin of ideas.

I agree. I've always thought Joey was the "best" friend to everyone else, especially to Ross. He wouldn't let anything happen with Rachel no matter how bad he wanted if because he didn't want to hurt Ross and then Ross goes and kisses Joey's ex only a few hours at most after they broke up.

Joey was never my favorite character until probably about a year ago when he fell in love with Rachel. Even when he wasn't my favorite character, I always loved how loyal he was to his friends. Being a loyal friend myself (or so I am told) I loved it! He was more loyal than any of the rest of them. I would hate to have a friend like Ross.

MissBKNYJewels73 · 05-16-2003, 10:24 PM

I have to say that I knew (or should I say hoped) that Joey & Rachel would get together. I stopped liking Rachel & Ross together as a couple a very long time ago. In the begining they were sweet & really good together. I wouldn't have thought of Rachel & Joey as a couple, but ever since Joey admitted to being inlove w/ Rachel I have wanted them together. Joey is a different person whenever he is w/ Rachel. So I was totally happy with this year's ending. I also loved the the whole bad hair day with Monica. I thought that was so funny. I am also glad that Phobe chose Mike. They are good together. I can't wait for next season. To me Friends is the best T.V. show on T.V.

I TOTALLY agree with YOU Me I think I liked Ross and Rachel for like a WEEK then I got tired of them so I'M GLAD they put Joey and Rachel together and Ross and Charlie together
and I'm glad Phoebe chose Mike he just is cuter and sweeter to me then David is JMO I think i'll be talking about this ALL SUMMER and I MAY start watching again in the fall

flutterby01 · 05-16-2003, 10:48 PM

I stopped liking Ross/Rachel a few years ago because I was so sick of all the nonstop melodrama between them. The writers drove that story into the ground fast, and kept on digging anyway. I think the only reason they had Joey fall in love with Rachel is because they were out of ideas. But I love the story!

I love Joey and Rachel because it is something new. Ross is turning out to be such a jerk (especially after last night's episode). I still think Ross/Rachel will end up together by the time the series ends though.

Christopher · 05-17-2003, 01:56 AM

The ending was perfect when Joey went to Rachel's room and kissed her, I love it. I hope next season we see more of that. They are a great couple together.

Superbatboy · 05-17-2003, 08:49 PM

I liked it, but I felt it was kinda predictable. Other cliffhangers (Joey "proposes", Rachel and Ross get married, Rachel pregnant etc ) were much more shocking and totally unexpected. I definitely think Joey and Rachel go together better than Rachel and Ross.

felicitylen · 05-17-2003, 10:29 PM

I didn't find the season finale at all good... I don't really like the whole idea of Joey and Rachel being together. I think that Joey ended up kissing Rachel because he saw Ross kissing Charlie. Now I was excited about Monica and Chandler getting together but this whole Joey and Rachel thing doesn't look good to me. Maybe it's just me. I don't like Charlie's character. She's not funny. It's seems like she would be better for Ross since they do have something in common. I don't know. I'll just have to wait for the new season.

studkickass · 05-22-2003, 10:15 AM

ugh, joey and rachel, why would she choose someone whom they have been in awe of his stupidity. its funny yes, but could you handle being married to it.. I don't buy it.
