This episode focuses mostly on Ross and deepening his desire for Rachel, it moves the storyline along over all but when watching on its own it may seem to drag. The thing I love most about the first couple seasons is that the acting is natural, the writing is solid, no over acting like in the later seasons where it just gets hard to sit through...growing up I loved Chandler but as I grow I just think he comes off so impish and unlikeable, I mean in season one he makes sense but he becomes irritating to me, whereas I use to be bored with Joey as a teen watching this in the 90s but now I see him as the most solid male character, he is just lovable thru and thru, he is so sweet defending his mom. I really enjoy Heather Locklear er I mean Morgan Fairchild cameo as Nora Bing, those two actress are identical, she jolts some energy and chemistry into the gang. Any episode where Phoebe sings an original song is just so fun, she is such a great character and get and Monica have such a fun dynamic because they are both competitive in different ways.
