[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1534750, member: 4779"] I'm glad we agree. However, I do have a question: You'd really want to see a movie? I don't, simply because I thought the ending worked just fine as a farewell. The show came full circle: Joey started alone and ended alone but along the way he did learn how to love. They were faithful to the character. Ross finally got Rachel. It had to happen. Crazy Monica got her loving husband and started the family she was so desperate to have. It had to happen. Rachel finally grew up. She got a good job, lived on her own and even had and raised a child out of wedlock (yes, she had help but the point remains). Chandler kept being weird and it didn't stop just because he married Monica. His character may have grown the most over the course of the show (with the second being a tie between Phoebe & Joey). Phoebe's eternal kindness and loyalty was finally repaid as she netted herself a quality guy who truly got her. She also seemed to put most of her demons behind her. The best thing about the show was that it was consistant not only in being funny but in the plot as well. I think someone else mentioned this but it is worth repeating. There certainly was a 'Friends' universe just like there is a 'Star Wars' universe and a 'Buffyverse.' The show was rooted in reality but the show wasn't set there. It was a show of relationships and growth. We watched them all change and grow and it was very organic - not forced as it seems to be on many other shows. The finale was a good send-off. I don't think it should be lessened in any way by making a motion picture. I don't mind the spin-off or any cameos there but this was a solid ending that ended at a proper time. The show didn't overstay its welcome nor get its legs cut out from under it like with so many other great programs. [/QUOTE]
