The One with Two Parts: Part 2

If you thought the title of the last episode was funny well look out for this one

Every story line in this episode is so good, I love the realistic feeling around this episode. Phoebe being jealous of her sister who seemingly gets everything while being such a selfish character and Phoebe herself being such a loving person but coming up short often in these early seasons of the show is so true for many young adults trying to find their way. Plus I love thinking that Phoebe and Joey could have been and that contributes to the animosity as well. Monica and Rachel committing tax fraud, to cover Rachel's medical bills is such a bonding moment to their friendship which you could already tell they were best friends off set as well, but than leading to them competing with each other over who is more flawed while competing for the affection of the two handsome doctors from ER George Clooney and Noah Wiley who were heartthrobs as well by this time. This episode does a great job calling other shows into the same timeline with both ER and Mad about you being intertwined. And than Ross settling into the idea of becoming a dad, it's so heartwarming to watch his journey of acceptance of losing his wife, gaining a son, falling in love with Rachel all over again and becoming a man through it all...

Part 1.

Not really better ..not really worse.

The pacing of this episode was just very slow and boring.

No real laughs.

I do wish there was more stuff in the apartment with the party.

I love whenever a whole bunch of people are in the apartment. Seemed like a missed opportunity.

Another episode with plot points that I remember when I see them....but I wouldn't say memorable because they were so funny.

Just...oh. I remember that scene.

One of the best Friends episodes, and in which we find 3 minute that evolve around the famous LEBANESE dish "Hummus" (A LEBANESE dish prepared out of chickpeas and sesame sauce) this is one of the rarest episode of friends where the "advertisement" material is not as obvious as in the episodes where Phoebe sings for Adidas, or when Emily spends a whole episode with toblerone bars, or even when Monica and Phoebe spend a 22 minutes episodes trying to discover the Nestle Tollhouse recipe. Where the writers in such need for money so that they made such obvious ads, that can be considered as undermining to the intelligence of the viewer. Well this episode give a better example than the others.

George Clooney Returns with Noah Wyle as the cute doctors turn up for their date with Rachel and Monica.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ursula continues to come between Joey and Phoebe, the cute doctors turn up for their date with Monica and Rachel, but the bickering friends ruin it by revealing each others secrets. Ross is nervous about becoming a father so he meets his Dad for lunch to talk things over Elliot Gould is always a delight as Jack Gellar, and it was disappointing that he only had the one scene. returning "ER" guest stars Clooney and Wyle are fun, and again Lisa Kudrow knocks it out of the park in her dual roles.
