I loved how Phoebe said, “I consider myself the puppet master of the group.” Monica’s father giving tips to Chandler and Monica on how to conceive was just too creepy for words. I did like the ending…a bit of a cliffhanger for next week. Joey trying not to watch Rachel nurse was hilarious. ---

This is one of the easiest shows to predict on TV. You might want to go with the longshot but come on is there any chance at all that Ross and Rachel will not end up together? The whole bit with Jack was very creepy. Plus I’m a Sci-Fi fan which means I love continuity and like to hear references to past episodes. Now Monica not only saw a video of her parents doing it but also caught the live show while hiding in the bathroom I was hoping for some reference. Well, true Jack doesn’t know about either but still it would have been much funnier if she said something like “Now we’re even.” and confessed then what they did show, ick! Poor start to the season. ---

If you want another continuity gaffe/missed opportunity to go along, Chandler seems interested in what Rachel’s boobs look like. He saw them in the One with the Boobies. ---

Very poor start. I fear that this baby is going to make the season nigh unwatchable, or at the very least completely contrived. And if Monica gets pregnant, I stop watching. Actually, it’s too bad there’s not a more serious bent to the show, because I believe that if Monica discovered she couldn’t conceive Courteney Cox might finally get the Emmy nomination that has eluded her for so many years. ---

I didn’t like the Jack part, but I thought the rest of it was great, as good as anything they’ve ever done. ---

“Friends” is still on? Didn’t it die already? Good thing no self-respecting awards show pays attention to programs well past their prime. ---

I read it had something like 33 million viewers, and they’re suggesting that maybe it won’t be their last season after all. So has the baby ensured that they’ve jumped the shark? ---

Baby almost always = shark jump. I taped it, but haven’t watched yet. IMHO, Joey and Rachel are the only watchable characters on that show anymore. Oh well, I 'm hoping for maybe one last hurrah this season. ---

I thought it was hillarious, the best episode in a while. I’m usually more concerned with comedy than plot, though.
