The One with Ross' Library Book

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 20 August 2011]

The greatest thing about this episode is that we get to see Janice again, and she is just great! I find it funny how Monica who has no problem to bully people that are close to her doesn't have the strength to say no to someone who invited herself to her wedding. Thats what people like Monica are like: they bully the ones that care about them but are scared of people who will stand up to them.

I always have to laugh at the part where Janice says "So you think of me as family?" She is so good! I actually feel sad that they found a way to uninvite her. Would love to see her singing at their wedding!

Ross protecting the paleontology section at the library was pretty funny as well. Especially when the librarian thinks that Ross is inviting him there

The one with Joey's intelligent girlfriend

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 17 March 2009]

Joey starts to go out with Erin (Charlotte from SEX AND THE CITY!), a fantastic girl who speaks 4 languages, enjoy to drink beer and is very intelligent. Rachel and Phoebe think she is amazing, and do everything they can to make Joey realize how Erin would be great for him. Joey starts to like Erin, but the problem is that Erin doesn't want to stay with Joey.

Ross and Chandler go to the University's library where Ross' doctoral dissertation is. Ross stays angry when he sees that his work is in the part of the library that nobody cares and also that a lot of people go to make sex. Ross decides to end this and stays taking care of the Paleontoly section, avoiding people to go there with filthy ideas.

Janice complains about the food in the restaurant where Monica works, and there, she discovers not only Monica is the restaurant Headchef, but also that she and Chandler are going to marry. Chandler stays mad with Monica when he discovers that Monica invited Janice to their wedding, and tells her that she needs to learn how to lie. Monica tells Chandler that they will need to dinner with Janice and her boyfriend Clark, and they end up having even more problems when they try to dismiss Janice from their wedding, since Janice understands that she is part of their family.

A fun episode

[studioAT · 7/10 · 27 November 2019]

Series 7 of 'Friends' is not one of my favourites, but this episode is a good one indeed.

With 3 strong storylines it also features nice guest turns from Kirstin Davis and Maggie Wheeler.

I really enjoyed the Joey storyline, and it was nice to see a deeper side to the character.

Matthew Perry still looks painfully unwell though, and that is so sad to see.

On the whole a fun episode, and one of the better ones from the 7th year.

The One Where Monica Runs Into Janice...

[taylorkingston · 8/10 · 28 April 2015]

I really like this episode. It's so funny. Once again, suck it Ross, because he sucks. Wow, I'm so judgemental when it comes to him. He just irritates me so much.

In this episode, Janice comes to complain to Monica about her cooking at her restaurant, without knowing that Monica was the head-chef. They start talking and Janice finds out that she's engaged. Since Monica doesn't want to say she's marrying Chandler, she somehow invites Janice to the wedding. After she finds out that Monica's marrying Chandler, she is still thrilled. Monica and Chandler try to figure out a way to uninvited her nicely, so they say they just want to have a small ceremony with family only. Janice thinks that this means that they think of her as family and she plans to sing a song at their wedding. Meanwhile, Ross's dissertation is in the college library and he goes to look at it, only to find out that people hook up their, including him by the end of the episode.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

Joey's Serious Relationship and NYU's Library

[vivianla · 25 December 2020]

Joey has a one night stand with a girl named Erin. Rachel opens the bathroom and there is Erin in a towel. Joey leaves and asks Rachel to tell Erin he does not want a serious relationship. Erin comes out and says she does not mean for this to be like high school but did Joey say anything about her?

Ross is excited to find out his published doctorate book is in NYU's library - fifth floor. However when he goes there he finds students having a hot make out session. Later he tells the friends that he saw babies making babies there.

Ross stands there to defend that area. A beautiful woman with an accent comes in with blonde hair. She is interested in palaeontology and has read Ross's book. They get caught after by the library.

Erin tells the girls she isn't interested in Joey for a serious relationship. The girls have to break the news to Joey who is sad because he felt he had a connection with a girl. Rachel has short hair in this episode.

Janice appears and is annoying. She wants to invite herself over to the apartment for the night. Monica makes the excuse that Chandler still has feelings so Janice shouldn't be present.

The one with Ross's Library Security

[planetpakua · 8/10 · 17 June 2021]

Joey has another new girlfriend. No one mentioned Rachel's new hair cut - weird.
