Huzzah! Feels like only yesterday you guys started this podcast and I smashed that subscribe button.
I think this is still a good Friends episode but I do view it as a turning point for the show, maybe even slightly jumping the shark. From this point on, it feels less like a show about friends and increasinly like a show about two romantic pairings, plus two outliers who the writers struggle to do anything substantial with. Still, good times to be had in future episodes, don’t get wary yet.
