The One with the Sonogram at the End

Everyone has on the same clothes in the beginning of the episode as they had on in the ending of the episode of "The One with the Thumb" S1-E3

It's good of them to have a laugh track so you know what bits are allegedly funny

Tour de force of nuance acting for David Schwimmer. Plays the role of an awkward post graduate academic and lovable social buffoon struggling to come to terms with the "real- world" with an understated charm despite the weak acting of the girl playing Carol and a ridiculously silly lesbian story-line straight out of the writing of Seinfeld, but done with far less irony or wit and far more emphasis on setting up a soap opera like story ark for the entire season to fall back on for countless emasculating jokes about Ross. The one liners are much punchier and satirical here, delivered with a stronger gusto than the pilot, especially by Matthew Perry. Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles make a great appearance as semi-neurotic parents overly obsessed with their children finding a permanent relationship and having kids. Shows more extensive attention to editing and tighter, more compact writing than the Pilot and Jennifer Anniston makes a dramatic leap in improving the range of her acting chops in the extended period of time between shooting the pilot and this episode.

This second episode continues the pace of the previous episode , focusing on issues of broken relationships of Ross and Rachel . While Ross gets a bombshell Carol , his lesbian ex - wife, Rachel must confront Barry , her boyfriend was left at the altar , and deliver the wedding . Parallel Monica gets her parents in her apartment for a family dinner , but gets nervous about facing your critics and has the support of Ross to divide the attention of their parents . The episode begins in Central Perk , where the group of friends discuss the importance that women give to kiss in counterpoint to highlight that men give sex . Interesting is to check the first appearance of Gunther , but no speech, only appears as an extra in Central Perk .

The second episode of "Friends" continues on from the pilot and continues to deals with Ross's broken marriage and Rachel's failed wedding.

It also introduces us to some more new characters, we meet Ross's ex wife Carol and her new lesbian partner Carol, Rachel's former fiancée Barry and also Ross and Monica's parents too. And interestingly we get our first look at Gunther, he doesn't speak, he is just in the background at Central Park and we hear about the "ugly naked guy" for the first time too.

It's a drop in quality from the pilot, but all the cast are a bit better. Elliot Gould knocks it out of the park as Ross and Monica's Dad.

We also have a new opening featuring several scenes from episodes mixed in with the original opening of the gang in the fountain.
