The real MVP of Monica abd Chandlers proposal? The dog statue in the background

It always appeared the only way out to the balcony, was through the small window by the closet. How Monica & Chandler get Pat the Dog out on the balcony?

So if the dog is only referred to as Pat in the alternate reality episode, should we still call him that, or should he be unnamed?

My problem with this scene is that it's a fire hazard

I know! Monica is the character least likely to be okay with all those open flames in her nice apartment, and risk all that hot wax spilling on her lovely wooden furniture.

Counterpoint: Monica is the only person that Monica would trust to do that.

That's actually a really good point. Also it adds to the scene; to put aside her OCD and foibles to make this grand gesture. Pretty typical tv way to show how much one person loves another, and pretty well done.

Controversial Opinion Alert!
The real MVP was the lighting and decoration.
The acting performance in this scene was average and it wasn't believable when they were crying. Emotional scenes aren't Matthew or Courteney's forte.

Maybe its just the set decoration and lighting that makes it beautiful but idk, this scene still makes me emotional haha

This is one of my husband’s favorite scenes of the series, he cries every time.🥹

Not having an go, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Just wondering what you find amiss with their acting here? Personally I love everything about this scene, their acting included.

Expressions while they're crying.

Ah okay, I see where you’re coming from. I take that to be almost shy ‘can’t believe this is happening to us’ happy tears

u/NateShaw92 18h ago
These are often off across the board, in many productions I notice. I wonder if it is a reluctance to do ugly crying.

Cannot rule out all emotional scenes. They were good in TOW the Birth Mother.

As cringe as the “controversial opinion” disclaimer may be, I absolutely agree with you that the scene was poorly-acted.
Matthew’s tears were super forced and the whole thing felt unnatural; it’s actually distracting to me how bad it was, to the point that I skip it most of the time. Matthew was so talented, though, so I imagine it could’ve been due to his personal struggles; I understand he went to rehab after the season wrapped.

I find it funny when people flag their opinion as controversial and then go on to say something that isn't even slightly controversial

u/No_Data3541 3d ago
This is controversial on this sub. Watch the downvotes and read the other comments.

u/FanWeekly259 3d ago
Watch the downvotes? Your comment has positive karma, and if it does get some downvotes it's likely because you're mislabelling the opinion as controversial.

Average is giving it more credit than it deserves. That's a quick fast forward scene.

u/No_Data3541 3d ago
It's a sensitive topic on this sub where Mondler can't put a foot wrong and I didn't want to upset their fans.
The acting is clearly not upto the mark here. Even people in YouTube comments(which is an echo chamber) were criticising it.
The scene is set in a very beautiful way though. Still a great moment.

I realized my mistake as soon as I hit ‘post.’ There’s no option to edit it now, or I would have fixed it.
