Friends

I watched the last episode of Friends. All ten seasons of it, it all boils down to this last episode. It seems to me that the writers tried to squeeze in as much events as possible in the final episode. I wish they could've unfolded the events bit by bit over the course of the season and maybe even the previous season, since I feel that there was too much happening in the last episode. If they had spread the events out over even a few episodes, the plot, closure and ending wouldn't have seemed too rushed to my liking. The thing I feel is missing is closure for Joey. Everyone else but him is having their dreams fulfilled and love lives satisfied and are starting new lives, but what about Joey? He's still living in the same apartment, by himself no less! The only change the writers have given him is a chick (jr) and a duck (jr). I can kind of understand why nothing much happened to him since he's daft and doesn't need a lot to satisfy himself, but at least give him a believable happy ending!

I teared a bit, mostly because I'm a very sentimental and nostalgic person to the point where I feel as if I'm still living in the past. When the scene of the unfurnished and spacious apartment, and the shot of the six keys from each character on the table was shown, I thought back to the very first episode with the five friends sitting at Central Perk drinking coffee and happily chatting with each other about the most random things, and in the next moment a distressed and paranoid Rachel bursts into the coffee house in a wedding dress. Everything from that moment on is history. It's so great to see how much the characters and their lives have changed and now they're all starting up families and occupied with their own lives. It's sad that everything is so different than what it used to be, but it's for the better. 

Friends is a great TV show. I love you Chandler Bing and Mike 'Crap Bag' Hannigan.
