i have word from an inside source that they are abducted by aliens and never heard from again.

I just assumed that they were arrested for having a baby and apparently letting it rot alone in a closet or something.

HAHA! Btw, did you hear what happened to those who Tivoed the show? Tivo wasn’t told that it was going to run longer than an hour, so all the recordings cut off at the moment Ross was yelling, “Did she get off the plane?”

There are 45 million pissed off people in America right now.

i was so glad i came back to watch the finale after not watching the series for five or six years.  it made me realize how little i’d missed.  “Oh, they’re still rehashing that?  did they all miss the intervening six years too?” Also it was fun to compare the youthful, ingenuous matthew perry in the credits to the bloated, bitter old man in his clothes at the end of the series.  But sorry greg, the undead don’t rattle.  Luckily, they’re typically issued maracas by the head zombie, so look for their upcoming album - “friends from beyond the grave.”

i think ross’ son ben should have jumped out from a closet and say, “who gives a shit if you go to london?  you never see me anyway, unless it’s funny!  FUCK YOU, ROSS!  FUCK YOU, RACHEL!” then he stabs them both.

aaaaaahhh.  you’re right.  that’s much better.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that watches Friends with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen and women now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That watched with us upon Friend’s final day.”

Henry V, attributed to Shakespeare, actually written by the Duke of Trite

P.S. to the Guys: no holding your manhoods, cheap or otherwise, in public

And I thought I was the only one who thought the absence of children odd. 

Huh, it seems that every time I turn around, some familiar phrase ("band of brothers") turns out to be a Shakespeare original.

everything IS a shakespeare original.  (except, oddly enough, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” that’s congreve.  and beside the point.)

maybe the whole friends series is really just a bad, 10-year parody of something shakespeare wrote in childhood, and threw away as being too shallow and absurdly self-absorbed for public consumption.  on the other hand, pericles, prince of tyre still gets played, so i could be wrong.

Oh come on. Timon of Athens beats Pericles any day. And, yes, I’ve seen both. At least they bothered to rearrange Pericles and give it plot (I love OSF). But I still agree with your basic point. Friends trumps Timon and Pericles put together. It must have been a drunked mistake of poor Will’s.

I wanted Rachel to tell Ross that, “It shouldn’t be this damn hard.” and get on that ‘plane WITH her baby and start a new life. No wonder we women have a bad rep. I still think that in real life, that’s what would have happened. Just glad it’s over. 

Yeah, where the hell was Emma?

I noticed something was missing, and turns out, IT WAS THE BABY.

Apparantly the little genious was off running a third world country or something, because neither parent actually even mentioned her.

Stupid parents.
Happy Mom’s Day Rachel, you neglectful bitch.

bryan, that ending i would have loved.  LOVED. 

or maybe something a little tootsieesque.  where rachel rips off her wig and reveals she is really brad pitt, rachel’s psychotic cousin from the mental institute in poughkeepsie.
