I know, right?! I feel like we could talk for hours about Joey and how amazing he is and how awesome Rach and Joey were without repeating ourselves. There is so much there, just in how he looks at her, respects her, how she is his number one fan, believes in him, and so on.

We can, pretty much the whole show is a testament to how Joey is better

I picked up another little parallel too, when Ross found out Rachel was pregnant & suggested they get married, he said 'you can't possibly think that you can do this alone' - & you should see her face!

But when Joey is telling his pregnant sister that she needs to get married or she'll ruin her life, Rachel asks him if she's ruining her life, & he says 'no, you're so strong and together'

KatB

Aww, of course. But I have to say, I was reminded of when Joey found out and he asked Rach to marry him. It was so funny, and Phoebe wasn't having any of that. Ah, Joey......

Oh yeah, that was really sweet too!

Aww, Hugsy - I like to think of him as the Joey/Rachel mascot

KatB

Haha, of course. What do you think the Chick and the Duck think of Hugsy? Do they think he is real?

I expect Joey kept Hugsy away from them in case they ever pecked him or something

KatB

Well, of course. He's family.

He loves Hugsy more than he loves most people

Oh, you don't know how much I love that scene!

One thing we always forget to mention about their future, with the house and kids, next door to Mon and Chandler, is that they still have the duck, or another one. Like the duck dies, then a few days later, Rach comes home and there is a new duck. She is clearly annoyed, but secretly, she likes it. Well, she comes to like it over time. But of course, she can't tell Joey that.

Yeah, I think they'll always have a chick & a duck

& it was such a sweet scene, they had lots of cute moments with Emma

KatB

I agree. I love Joey laughing at Emma's Elmo cup, and how he takes naps when Emma does and so many other things.

lessismore

yeah literally we can talk about it for hours

Also doesn't Joey have more cute scenes with Emma than Ross?

KatB

Yeah he does, but then again, Ross stopped being cute around year two.

lessismore

that's true as well!

KatB

Haha, I knew you would agree.

I love articles like this one. It's an oldie but a goodie!
