Some of the sentimentality of this episode was really misplaced. We had no idea who Nana was, and the events of this episode really didn’t reveal much about Monica and Ross’ character. Hence, I found the shot of the Sweet ‘N Lows falling all over Ross like tribbles at the end of the (first?) Act to be really corny. Ditto for the scene at the end where they’re all poignantly looking at a photo of Nana at age 25 or so.

After a member of our family dies, we usually go back to their house where we enjoy a meal and the usual goings-on of family get-togethers, including—GASP!—watching TV, at least among some of the family members. Why does Joey—and then Ross and Monica’s father and then another group of men—have to enjoy the game on a radio in secret (or what passes for secret)? Why not just watch it on TV?

Because, technically, at that point the family is sitting shiva, and such things are prohibited.

Oh that's right, they're Jewish. I forgot.

Two things: One, NOBODY HAS *EVER* DIED "TWICE"!

And the fact that Ross falls into a freshly dug grave in a cemetary and there were no signs or site block-off thingies warning of it up ahead is a bit unbelieveable. Or is it that he "just wasn't looking where he was going"?

Suspension of disbelief. This episode didnt have it. Then again, neither did most of the first two seasons of this show! It would get better later on though. Thank God for that!
