Eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu ngemva kwalokho ngoSepthemba 22, 1994, sisabuyela eCentral Perk ukuyohleka nokuzizwa sithintekile noMonica, uJoey, uRachel, uChandler, uPhoebe, noRoss. I-Friends: The Reunion ekhethekile yavuselela ilangabi futhi yasikhumbuza ukuthi kungani le sitcom isibe yinto ehlala njalo emasikweni athandwayo, nokuthi kungani iziqephu zayo ezidumile kakhulu zimi kalula ngokumangalisayo. Inhlanganisela yayo yama-gags akhumbulekayo, i-chemistry yabadlali, kanye nezindaba zansuku zonke ezisuka enhliziyweni zisasebenza kahle njengakuqala.
Kulo mhlahlandlela oqondile, sihlanganise uhlu lwabalandeli kanye nezilinganiso ze-IMDb ukuze sikulethele iziqephu ezivelele kakhulu kanye nemidlalo yakudala evame ukuvela kunoma iyiphi ingxoxo mayelana nochungechunge.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, sizokutshela ukuthi ungazibuka kuphi namuhla: eSpain, ziyatholakala ku-Max (eyayikade i-HBO Max), ukuze ube naleyo mini-marathon ephuthumayo owaziyo ukuthi uyifanele.
Okubalulekile ngokusho kwabagxeki kanye ne-fandom
Uma sibheka izilinganiso zezilaleli, kukhona ukuvumelana okucacile: "I-One Where Everybody Finds Out" (isizini 5, isiqephu 14) iyinkosi. Iqhosha ngama-9,7 kwangu-10 ku-IMDb futhi, ngokusho kohlu olunamavoti angaphezu kuka-11.000, isalokhu iyisiqephu esikalwe kakhulu. Ukutholakala ndawonye kothando oluyimfihlo lukaMonica noChandler kudala ukungezwani okuhlekisayo: uPhoebe noRachel bakha icebo lokuphoqa ukuvuma, uJoey uzama ukulondoloza amanga, futhi izinto ziyaqhuma lapho uChandler ekugcineni esho "Ngiyakuthanda" osekuyinto edumile.
Futhi phezulu kukhona isiphetho sochungechunge: "The Last One" ngezingxenye ezimbili (isizini 10, iziqephu 17 no-18). Ingxenye yokuqala ilinganiselwa ku-9,5, kanti eyesibili iphakathi kuka-9,6 no-9,7 ngokwezinhlu ezahlukene, okwenza iminyaka eyishumi yezindaba iphele ngokuphelele. URoss egijimela esikhumulweni sezindiza, isinqumo sokugcina sikaRachel, kanye nefulethi elingenalutho kwenza kube nokuvalelisa okuthinta imizwa njengoba kuyinto edumile, uhlobo olushiya iqhubu emphinjeni wakho ngisho nasekubukeni kabusha.
Abalandela eduze, kodwa abasalokhu besezingeni eliphezulu, yi-"The One with the Embryos" (S4E12, 9,4) kanye ne-"The One with the Graduation Video" (S2E14, 9,4). Eyokuqala yileyo mibuzo ehlekisayo phakathi kwabafana namantombazane efulethini (ngemibuzo engenakwenzeka kanye nombuzo odumile mayelana nokuthi uChandler wenzani ukuze aziphilise), kuyilapho uPhoebe efakwa umbungu ukuze asize umfowabo. Eyokugcina iveza ividiyo yasekhaya ekhombisa lokho uRoss ayezimisele ukukwenzela uRachel , futhi ifaka "isongo" esingasoze salibaleka uJoey asinika uChandler, esingabonakali nakanjani.
Ngaphezu kwesilinganiso esingu-9 kukhona futhi i-“Ross’s Wedding: Part II” (S4E24, 9,2), kanye nokwehla kwe-altare lomlando lapho igama elithi “Rachel” libizwa khona, kanye ne-“The One Where Ross Gets High” (S6E9, 9,2), i-Thanksgiving egcwele izambulo zomndeni (kanye… ne-dessert yokudala).

Lonke leli bhulokhi leziqephu libonisa ukungaguquguquki: lapho i-Friends ihlanganisa izingcezu ezinhle zamahlaya, intuthuko yobudlelwano, kanye nokukhumbula izikhathi zakudala, ifinyelela izinga eliphezulu kakhulu. Ukuvumelana kwefomula yayo yeziqephu akuvimbeli izinhlansi ukuthi ziqhume lapho igumbi lababhali liqala ukusebenza ngempela.
Ezingasoze zabuna ezihlala zikwenza kubuyele kumashadi (futhi okungafanele ukugeje)
Ngale kwesigaba esiphelele, kuneziqephu abalandeli abazisho njalo. Sizoqala nge-"The One Where Nobody's Ready" (S3E2): URoss udinga wonke umuntu ukuba afike emnyuziyamu ngokushesha okukhulu, futhi, njengenjwayelo, kuvela izaba eziningi kanye nezinhlekelele.

Kusukela kwisizini yesi-4, amagugu amabili alandelanayo. Ku-"The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line" (S4E7), uChandler wenza into okungafanele ayenze noKathy, futhi uRoss unquma "ukuphinda athole" amakhono akhe omculo kukhibhodi, ngemiphumela engabazekayo. Ngemva kwalokho kuza i-"The One Where Chandler's in a Box" (S4E8) , lapho ukujeziswa kokuphambuka kobungane kuboshwa ebhokisini amahora angama-24. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, uMonica ubona iso elijwayelekile kudokotela wamehlo: yindodana kaRichard, nakho konke lokho okushoyo.
Esikhathini sesihlanu, i-"The One for All Purposes" (S5E11) ikhanya ngezizathu eziningana. URoss uqala ibhulukwe lesikhumba ngokuthandana futhi ufunda ngendlela enzima ukuthi kwenzekani lapho i-moisturizer ne-talcum powder ziba izitha zakhe ezimbi kakhulu. UPhoebe uzama ukufundisa uJoey ukudlala isiginci ngemithetho engavamile , kanti uChandler uthembisa ukuchitha isonto ngaphandle kokwenza amahlaya ngezindleko zanoma ubani—ukuhlupheka kwakhe okukhulu.
Enye ingoma ethandwayo ethandwayo yi-"The One with the Unagi" (S6E17), lapho uRoss ezibona njengochwepheshe esimweni sokuhlala ephapheme engqondweni. Imizamo yakhe "yokufundisa uRachel noPhoebe isifundo" iyisiphithiphithi, njengoba kunjalo nangendaba encane ehilela amawele kaJoey. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, i-Valentine's Day kaMonica noChandler iyaphambuka lapho ephinda ethola isipho esivela kuJanice—umqondo omubi.
Kamuva kule sizini, i-"The One with the Videotape" (S8E4) iyamangalisa ngendlela eyakha ngayo imfihlakalo yokuthi ubani owenze isinyathelo sokuqala phakathi kukaRoss noRachel, kanye nobuhlakani obuyixazulula ngayo. Eceleni kwayo, i-"The One with the Rumor" (S8E9) ifaka uBrad Pitt esimweni sokuhlekisa, ephinda ebukeza ukuhlukumezeka esikoleni samabanga aphezulu ngaphandle kwesidingo sezinto zokufakelwa noma ukuphoqwa ukuba akhumbule emuva. Lezi yizibonelo ezimbili eziphelele zochungechunge oluqhuma kuwo wonke amasilinda ngesizini yalo yesishiyagalombili.
Ekugcineni, i-"The One Where Ross's Okay" (S10E2) ifanelwe ukukhulunywa ngokukhethekile: UJoey noRachel bazama ukuthandana, kanti uRoss uzenza ukuthula okuwohlokayo njengoba ekhonza ama-fajita futhi ebambelela ku-"Mexican Night" njengomthombo wokuphila.

Futhi uma sikhuluma ngemikhuba ephambene ngaphandle kweNew York, i-"The One in Vegas (Ingxenye 2)" (S5E24) iyisiphithiphithi nje: utshwala, amahlaya, kanye nesonto elivulekile lamahora angama-24 kugcina ngomshado ongasoze walibaleka. Kuyisici esijabulisayo sedrama yaseLondon yesizini yesi-4 , futhi kukhombisa ukuthi leli qembu liphumelela kanjani ngokushintsha kwesimo.
Ezinye iziqephu ezivame ukungena ohlwini oluphezulu lwabalandeli zifaka phakathi i-"The One with the Red Sweater" (S8E2), enengubo ekhohliwe eveza ukuthi ungubani uyise ka-Emma, kanye ne-" The One with the Jellyfish" (S4E1) , ehlukanisa indaba ibe yizindaba ezintathu ezithinta ngokulinganayo: uRoss noRachel empini yabo yaphakade, uPhoebe ethola imfihlo yomndeni, kanye nokuhamba ogwini lolwandle okuphela ngesisombululo esingesihle njengoba sisebenza kahle ekubhekaneni nokulunywa yi-jellyfish.

Yingakho eziningana zalezi ziqephu zivela nasezilinganisweni zochungechunge jikelele , hhayi nje kuphela ezihlokweni.
Izikhathi, ama-cameos kanye nemininingwane eyenza umlando
Abangane bebengeke babe Abangane ngaphandle kwalezo mininingwane emincane ebesinamathele kuyo. "Isongo sikaChandler esesabekayo sabesifazane," indlela uRoss abheka ngayo indlela "yoku-unagi", kanye nesikhathi "esingenamuntu okulungele" lapho konke sekwephuzile konke kuyingxenye yesilulumagama sethu sokubuka i-TV. Kunjalo nangesandwich kaRoss "eyenza umswakama" kanye nalezo zinqumo ezingenakwenzeka zoNyaka Omusha eziphetha ngalezo bhulukwe zesikhumba ezingenakwenzeka ukuzilawula.
Ngokuphathelene nama-cameo, uBruce Willis uyintandokazi yabalandeli ngokubonakala kwakhe kathathu, yize ukubonakala kukaBrad Pitt ku-Thanksgiving kumane kuyinganekwane. Lolu chungechunge lusebenzise ngobuhlakani izinkanyezi zalo ezivakashile ngaphandle kokufihla amalungu ayisithupha ayinhloko , lubaxhumanisa nezikhathi zakudala zabalingiswa kunokuthembela kuphela kuma-gags ayenzeka kanye kuphela.
Kukhona neziqephu ezimbili ezandisa indaba: iLondon (“Umshado KaRoss”) enesithombe esimangalisayo esithi “Rachel” esontweni, kanye neLas Vegas ngalowo mshado omangalisayo wasebusuku. Phakathi kwezikhathi ezimnandi zothando, isicelo sikaChandler noMonica singenye yezigcawu ezithandwa kakhulu ngumphakathi, kanti ukuhamba kukaRoss phambi “kwendoda ekhuluphele enqunu” edumile kuSizini 5, iSiqephu 14, kusebenza njengentambo exhumanisayo ukuze wonke umuntu, ngokoqobo, azi ukuthi kwenzekani.
Ukuze kuqedwe lesi sithombe, u-2021 ulethe i-Friends: The Reunion, ukuhlangana kabusha okwaphinde kwahlanganisa izigidi zabalandeli. Futhi yize umgubho wokugubha iminyaka engama-30 uza nosizi lokudlula kukaMatthew Perry ngo-2023, ifa likaChandler Bing liyaqhubeka nokusenza sihleke futhi sizizwe sithintekile.

Namuhla ungabuka uchungechunge kanye neziqephu zalo ezibalulekile kuMax, futhi uqonde ukuthi kungani luqhubeka nokuba phezulu ohlwini lokubuka emashumini eminyaka kamuva.
Uma ufuna imenyu yokunambitha ngaphandle kokuphuthelwa lutho, nansi i-oda eliphakanyisiwe elihlanganisa ukuhleka nezikhathi ezibalulekile: Ividiyo Yokukhushulwa (S2E14) → Akekho Okulungele (S3E2) → Ama-Embryos (S4E12) → Umshado KaRoss: Ingxenye II (S4E24) → Zonke Izinsuku Zokubonga (S5E8) → Wonke Umuntu Uyathola (S5E14) → Unagi (S6E17) → URoss Uthola Ukuphakama (S6E9) → Isiphakamiso: Ingxenye II (S6E25) → I-Videotape (S8E4) → Amahemuhemu (S8E9) → URoss Ulungile (S10E2) → Owokugcina (S10E17–18) . Lokho kuzokunikeza zonke izinhlobo zabangane ngesikhathi esisodwa.
Into engcono kakhulu ngale qoqo ukuthi isiqephu ngasinye sembula ingxenye ehlukile yephazili: ihlaya elingokomzimba elihlelwe ngokucophelela, ingxoxo egcwele incazelo, indawo yokuhlala yefulethi nesitolo sekhofi, kanye nalowo muzwa wokuba "phakathi kwabangane" okungekho omunye umdlalo we-sitcom oye wawuphinda. Yingakho, uma ubuza ngeziqephu ezinhle kakhulu, izimpendulo ziyahlukahluka : abanye bakhetha i-Thanksgiving, abanye bakhetha iLondon, kanti abanye ngeke bashintshe "Ngiyakuthanda" kusukela kuSizini 5, iSiqephu 14 nganoma yini.
Uma ubheka izinqumo zabalandeli, uhlu lwabagxeki, kanye nedatha ye-IMDb, kuvela iphethini ecacile: Izilinganiso eziphezulu zabangane zenzeka lapho amahlaya asheshayo ehambisana nokuthuthukiswa okukhulu ngokomzwelo futhi evuma umlando wabalingiswa abahlanganyelwe. Yileyo imfihlo yempumelelo yayo , futhi yingakho, eminyakeni eminingi kamuva, lezi ziqephu ziqhubeka nokuba phezulu futhi ziletha ukumamatheka ngokushesha nje lapho ingoma yesihloko idlala.
