And thus we have one of the focuses of Season 8. But, more importantly, we learn that it's Rachel who's pregnant, and a few episodes later, we'll see that Ross (David Schwimmer) is the father, following a wedding-invitation envelope stuffing tryst. Season 8 opens with the events immediately following the ceremony, as we see Monica and Chandler off on their honeymoon.
However, the shocking ending came when it was learned that someone, either Monica, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), or Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) was pregnant. So, if you haven't seen Season 7 and want to be surprised by Season 8, read with caution.) The seventh season of Friends ended with the wedding of long-time friends-turned-lovers Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica (Courteney Cox). ( SPOILER WARNING!: In order to describe Friends Season 8, I must divulge some of the plot-lines for the shows, as well as discuss events from Season 7. But, the show, once one of the freshest on television, had lost some of its pizazz and as the storylines for Season 8 were revealed, it was clear that the show was certainly in its twilight years. As the show entered its eighth season, it had many reasons to be proud of itself, not the least of which was that it had retained its Top 10 spot in the rating and there had been no major changes in the crew either in front of or behind the cameras in its seven season run. How do you tell a loved one that they are no longer as beautiful and special as they once were? That's the feeling I have as I write this review for Friends: The Complete Eighth Season.
