the pilot be extremely well do . it lay out how the character bond in future episode . i do not think anyone could have create a good pilot for this show . it display remarkable creativity on the writer part . although not everything be straighten out because it be the very first episode and a lot of event that happen in future season be demonstrate in the pilot . an example would be ross and rachel future relationship . even though the nervousness of a first episode appear and it be overcome by an amazing plot and outstanding cast choice . bravo . a great start to an unbeatable comedy .
