Episode 4 - TOW The Video Tape
25 March 2012
Synopsis: Ross accidentally filmed the night Rachel got pregnant and Monica and Chandler are excited to have met a couple to hang out with.
The Good: A really good concept episode. It’s entertaining TV to see the friends all admit that they want to see the tape. By arguing over who seduced whom, Ross and Rachel are given a plausible reason to play it for them. Unfortunately by this point the best episodes of Friends only focus on the inter-character romantic relationships rather than on any real life storylines. Joey and Ross are good as ever at keeping things funny and there are some nice moments for Rachel.
The Bad: The Monica and Chandler plot is just filler with no consequences. I don’t get how “the story” would help you seduce someone. It would have been better to not tell the whole story as it doesn’t really makes sense.
Best Line: (Ro) “Do you have a minute? I’d like to talk to you about something I’m really uncomfortable talking about.” (J) “Sure, how about you showering with your Mum?” (Ro) “I actually had a topic in mind.”
Best Friend: Ross
