TOW "No one is ready" is superb. The ensemble plays it masterfully and the skits are very well-written.I'm not sure what the writers accomplished with the chick and the duck. I respect the way the show maintains continuity in plot and character, and the chick and the duck show up in the final episode. Just stretches the imagination a little too much.Perhaps the fight and break-up of Rachel-Ross as brutally as it is played out in this season is necessary to set up the comedy and tension which works so well in Season 8. I found it to be too real in Season 3, or maybe I had already embraced Ross/Rachel as real-time people. Their break-up was painful for me.
