The other thing that is weird about that is that he just happens to have a picture of her conveniently lying around.

He keeps his year books lying around alright, I think he had one when he was comparing himself to Mr heckles and Monica was trying to get him to cry at pics from his childhood.
Rachel is the same, just whips out her highschool year book in the episode with Brad Pitt

Where was Rachel living at that point. At least Chandler was in his own apartment when he found his.

She was living at Joey's. She went over to Joey's to fetch the yearbook whilst they were all gathered at Monica's for Thanksgiving.

Ah we have an answer to Monicas weight gain - when she joined the brown birds and started eating the cookies. So she would've been around 8.

Ross doesn't seem to care much about Emily and even finds it funny that he said the wrong name. Judy's line of "this is even worse than when he married a lesbian" is strange. This would suggest that Ross and Carol's wedding itself went wrong

Was lame of Rachel to use caring for Phoebe as an excuse not to go to the wedding. Rachel appears to be caring for Phoebe before going to London (why wasn't Phoebe in her own apartment) but goes back to her apartment soon after everyone else gets back

Ross doesn't like to be wrong. What in Christ's good name was he doing bringing Rachel on the honeymoon. It was almost a sub conscious F you to Emily. Well she didn't bother showing up then I'll go and treat the girl who's name I said while I'm at it. Stupid stupid stupid stupid.
Even when he's on the phone he's actually pissed off with her for bringing it up!

She was looking after the chick and duck. And maybe felt more comfortable in a female apartment. Or purely so Phoebe could look after Rachel but using the pregnancy as cover for it

I appreciate this is something that may have happened off screen, but I always wonder why we get no acknowledgment of Joanna's death from Chandler, given he had been dating her only 5-6 episodes prior to her death.

Unless he did and I just don't remember.

Good spot. I never really realised. Also about the same scene, I find it a little out of character when during the news she says 'nothing about an assistant buyer'. I know it was supposed to be humorous due to Rachel really wanting the job but this is Rachel we're talking about. She cried when Treeger shouted at her and when Phoebe was having her hormone issues.

I just find it weird. Rachel wouldn't have said that.

As someone said, I think that's normal. I have my yearbook in my room.

Yeah, you would expect Rachel to be at least a little upset about her boss being killed

While Chandler found Joanna boring you would at least assume that he attended her funeral with Rachel

TOW Chandler Can't Cry: in the scene before the opening credits, the TV/unit in Monica's apartment is missing. Then when everyone is watching ET, it's back in the usual place

Agree with you on Shark Porn (even typing that makes me cringe lol). 236 episodes and that is hands down THE worst, in my opinion. It's not even so bad it's good kinda thing, it's just bad. Always want to skip it on rewatches.

Never really been a fan of TOW Boob Job, either. Both season 9.

Yup that's another terrible episode. The one with the donor is also poor

What would your top 10 best and worst episodes be?

I know it is because he was a one off guest appearance and they needed it to be quick, but yes Ross was a total d*** about the male nanny

Best episode is either Ross's tan, or the one with Ross's leather trousers ....

The worst are ones that are basically a compilation/clip show where they just show bits from previous shows.

The best ones for me are either ones where they go back to the 80s with fat Monica, Rachel's old nose and Ross & Chandler's ever changing fashions, the one where everybody finds out about Chandler & Monica and Phoebe tries to seduce him or the one where they have the quiz to see who gets Monica's apartment ("He's a trans...transponster" "THAT'S NOT EVEN A WORD").

Joey Speaks French.

It's just so painful to watch the extreme dumbing down of a good character. I miss early episode Joey!

My fave episodes are "TOW No One's Ready" and "TOW The Embryos."

My least fave are the compilation ones (so lazy) or a few towards the end (When Joey speaks French mainly)
