The age old question: were they on a break?
Ross Gellar and Rachel Green were one of the most iconic couples of the 90s, fictional or not. A lot of their relationship was problematic in hindsight, but there are some moments that show true and genuine love for each other. And all of it kept us coming back week after week, blunder after blunder, silly sitcom scenario after silly sitcom scenario.
This week I’m by myself discussing Rachel and Ross - both the sketchy and the beautiful aspects of their relationship then and now, whether I thought they were on a break or not, the moments when Rachel stood up for herself, fan commentary, and my top 5 Ross and Rachel moments of the whole series. Because Ross and Rachel gave us hope that we may all, one day, find our lobster.
