I did watch the finale of Friends last night - always try to watch the final episodes, even if I caught the show only rarely. I was, I'm afraid, underwhelmed.
It wasn't awful, certainly no Seinfeld (the worst final episode ever), but it wasn't good either. It was just, well...boring and pointless. Yes, Ross and Rachel end up together - duh. Chandler and Monica get twins, again - duh, it's a rarity for TV characters to have one baby. They didn't take the opportunity to lead us into the spin-off, Joey. Basically, just yawn - though the fact that it ended (cultural event and all) was hype worthy, the episode did not live up to it.
Interestingly, the final episode will be available , packaged with the pilot, on DVD Tuesday. The quickest turn around of a TV series ever. I imagine there are people who will buy it, no matter the quality of the script. I can't personally see needing to see it again. Certainly not anytime soon.
