Who really needs a "friends" consolidation chapter, other than the six-player bank accounts and the new streaming service that the chapter aims to promote? • Inbal tailor is a burnt fan, but not at all costs • Well, maybe if you give her $ 4 million she will change her mind • Opinion

"We were on a break" is one of the world's best-known catchphrases, and forever will automatically be reminiscent of Ross and Rachel's debilitating love story, but in the case of the "friends" union in question, it would have been better if they had really left their status like this , Because now, it seems, everything has become It's complicated.

• The best chapter in the history of "friends"

Precisely because I am not a huge fan of the series, from those who have spent countless binges with me, can quote dozens of dialogues and hardly ever have a conversation where I will not find myself flustered to break up in the series, I am allowed to stand up and cry: no. We did not pray for this union, we did not want this union, and in fact, it was even better not to allow this union at all. Why? Here are the reasons.

First, as we know, this is not going to be a theatrical episode, but something more in the format of hosting a talk show. I mean, it's not a "friends" union at all, but more like a cycle meeting of Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Matt La Blanc, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.

Even if we assume that people are still excited about the fact that the six players will be in one place and answer questions, the fact that in 2016, five of the six cast members - Aniston, Cox, La Blanc, Schwimmer and Kudrow (Perry absent from the event due to previous commitments), should not be ignored. NBC Channel TV in honor of producer James Burroughs and what do you know - they answered questions there!

And you will have no doubt, even though it was announced that this is not a theatrical episode but a conference of cast members who will answer unanswered questions for years, spontaneity will not be there. Everything will be planned until the last bite, just like the decision to announce the union right now, a decision that everyone understands is simply a nervous marketing move to promote HBO's new streaming service.

After it was reported that each of the six players would receive between $ 2.5-4 million for participation in this one-off episode, expectations skyrocketed. If someone spends such a sum out of pocket, we probably expect something good from us. but what? It turns out you spent all that money on ... well, what turns out to be a conversation. She might be funny, she might be excited, but more than happy about this serious union, disappointing that the good guys have legitimized anyone who comes after them to demand baseless sums for a brief nostalgia for something nostalgic.

They can say that they waited years for a truly opportune moment and that is why they have refused countless offers over the years. They can also continue to tell us how much they missed sharing screen time with each other, but at the end of the day, behind the smiles that are scattered, a lot of dollars are hidden and that alone already produces some aftertaste.

If I may also diminish a little, then I will add that "Friends" is a cold series and will remain like this forever, but there is nothing to compare between its first seasons where everything was incredibly accurate, and the exhaustion that reached the final seasons until its final decline, a second before it became a series that made the joke She is on her and not with her. Reuniting Friends Again, 15 years after the series dropped off the screen, continues the less-than-good taste of the tenth season. They had to retire anyway, so pull more and celebrate the bad ending? What will happen this time, Chandler will also fall in love with Rachel? Maybe Monica?

With how much it hurts us, and it really hurts, that smell can't be ignored and I'm not talking about cat symbols. You can take all the members, sit them down with huge cups of coffee and even "force" them to recreate the wonderful dynamics of the past, but at the end of the day the aroma that emerges from this union is not that of a youthful spirit but of capitalism and pike news.
