My score is for every character in this episode but Ross. The acting is, as always, excellent from all 6 but Ross the character is dreadful.

He is a horrible, controlling bully. His behaviour? That's not love. It is just awful.

I hated the whole Ross and Rachel thing which obviously was a massive part of Friends. It was horrible then and horrible now. "We were on a break!" was such a tiresome storyline.

Ross started in Season 1 by not telling her a man had called and it was downhill from there. Controlling behaviour. "I want her so nobody else can have her" behaviour. Grow up, Ross. He treated the monkey better.

Chandler and Monica, Phoebe and Mike. Far more entertaining and much better couples. Proper love stories without the need for whatever Ross's behaviour was.

Also the writers have Rachel acting "crazy" in one scene as if she is in the wrong and being unreasonable. The woman was a saint for putting up with him!

How anyone can root for him and think his behaviour is "love" is a mystery. Awful man.

He loves Rachel so much but sleeps with someone 5 minutes after they went on a break?

I hate Ross Geller with a passion. I hope in the Friends universe that Rachel later slept with Carol. AND Susan. And Chandler's Dad! It's what he deserves.

I never realised I felt so passionate about the subject of Ross and Rachel before I wrote this. Maybe I should get out more.
