Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
Ok, did Ross cheat or were they on a break?
Note: Annoyed British guy sitting next to Rachel on the flight to England to ruin Ross's wedding to the other woman (rats, can't recall the name) said that clearly they were on a break. :D What do you think?Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
The irony is that my favorite colors are black and red, and I almost always play chaotic good characters.

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
I think this topic was dead about 8 years ago.

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
What, you have a thing against asterisks?
...
Yeah, okay. I'll admit to being a jerk in my post. Sorry. I just tend to forget about shows once they end. I enjoyed it while it was on, if that's any consolation.

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
Well, the first few years were good anyway. Then all the characters became caricatures. I hate when that happens to a good character. Worst case on that show was Ross becoming nothing but a bumbling fool.

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
That wedding was interesting, since it had Hugh Laurie (used to be part of a comedy duo with Stephen Fry, now in House), Jennifer Saunders (used to be part olf a comedy duo with Dawn French, who knows what she is up to now), Tom Stoppard (amazing playwright and Shakespearean actor) and Helen Baxendale. (who I still think was hot back from Cardiac Arrest)
But, going back to the point, they were on a break and so she was just being a bitch.I played: Arin of the Silver Tongue, Barri Poari

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
Technically, they were on a break, but since the "break" had only been official for about two hours, and because their relationship was so deep to start with, Ross was being a total arsefrack for sleeping with another woman.
And I don't think Rachel meant "break" to be defined as "let's go sleep around with people we meet in bars." She was going more for the "give me my space for a few days so I don't kill you."
Space != sleeping around; //says the C++ nerd"Why do we DnD players have large collections of colorful, shiny dice? Because we figure we might as well not get laid in style."

Re: Ross v. Rachel: On A Break or Not?
I personally think breaks need to be better defined. Some breaks are "well, actually, it's over, and I'm just too 'nice' to say so" and some are "I just want a few days to myself to sort things out"
If what the break is isn't written in stone, confusion is bound to happen, as painful as it can be.
two hours is a little fast, however...100% of proprietesses of the Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts agree that my avatar is the cutest little rogue modron avatar they've ever seen!
Kudos to Ink. You are The Man.

As far as the break goes, I too interpreted it as breaking up with him. Frankly she seemed to think the same thing the next morning when she called him and said she was coming over.
