6 isn't a massive inconsistency as the one Where Everyone Finds Out was Monica saying "I love you" back
The "I love you" during the episode where Phoebe is jokingly trying to seduce him was said more sincerely and from the heart especially as Monica comes out from hiding in the bathroom. |

Somebody even made a comment about it in the comments section along those lines. The "I love you" when Monica was wearing the turkey was said very quickly and then he took it back straight away so he didn't appear to mean it. It was said in a more you're great or you're wonderful kind of way.

One I was thinking about just now is a bit bizarre
But I find it weird that they did the big build up of Chandler and Kathy and almost losing each other as best friends and then a few episodes later Kathy just breaks up with him and he moves on? |

Flicked on CC between the football the other day. The one where Joey just started dating Kathy but was out on a date with Casey.
Joey calls Chandler to tell him to let Kathy know he'd be late because the car broke down. He explains he went to get transmission fluid but was surprised to find out the transmission had fallen out. Why go for the fluid before checking the tranny? |

I suppose the Chandler and Kathy story was more about Joey And Chandler than Kathy
But yes it seemed a bit silly they went through all of that just to have Kathy and Chandler fight and break up two episodes later. Same with Charlie and Ross as mentioned and Joey and Janine |

Ross and Emily Phoebe and Gary Although now all these others have been mentioned maybe that is just how relationships end in the Friends world |

That was very odd, They moved in and broke up all in one episode. Was the actor cast in something else as it seemed he just had to be suddenly written out and it made no sense
Although now all these others have been mentioned maybe that is just how relationships end in the Friends world Tag was similarly dull but at least he didn't move unnecessarily fast with Rachel |

Ross and Emily Phoebe and Gary However as it was so short approximately less than 24 hours as we saw her waking up with him for the first time after moving in that she doesn't class it as living with a boyfriend. |

Another gripe regarding Phoebe & Gary. When Phoebe first started seeing Mike, Ross & Phoebe have a conversation about how Phoebe had never had a long term relationship. Phoebe then says that she's never lived with a bloke but of course she did with Gary.

Ross and Emily's engagement was rushed but their breakup was a bit more drawn out by the usual standard of relationships with non friends.
If anything it was painfully dragged out, did Ross actually see Emily in person from that brief fleeting glance at the airport to them finishing the relationship? |

We may well have missed out on some good storylines had it gone that direction, equally we may have escaped some of the poorer ones. |

Helen Baxendale's pregnancy meant they had to go another direction. Had she not fallen pregnant, I do wonder what would have happened with Ross and Emily. Would she have stayed in the series to the end, or was Ross and Rachel always the endgame?
We may well have missed out on some good storylines had it gone that direction, equally we may have escaped some of the poorer ones. Making Ross give up Rachel was used purely to kill off any likeability of the character in the hardcore fans minds so they could just cut her out of the show. |

I think Ross and Emily would have at least lasted until the end of that season together or just getting divorced etc. However Ross and Rachel was always going to be the end game (Yawn) but once the actress was pregnant they did the whole character destruction on her and got her gone asap

I am not too sure of how true this was -or if this was just speculation but David Schwimmer may have been in contract negotiations during this time. I don't know if the plan would have been for him to go to London to be with Emily and that may have been why they introduced the character Danny(Inappropriate sister relationship) as a possible love interest for Rachel.
Could be that the group contract thing happened after this and we are both right haha |
