124-part 04 - 六人行

Goof(穿幫):

01. When Rachel is on the balcony with her date Carl,
a set worker dressed in black is visible
on the left side of the screen.
當瑞秋和約會對象卡爾在陽台上時，
螢幕左邊可以看見一個穿黑衣的佈景工作人員。


Continuity(劇情連續性問題):

01. Rachel says that Ross mentioned asking Rachel out on a date
on her first night in the city.
However, it's actually her second night in the city.
瑞秋說羅斯在她到城裡的第一晚有想要約她，
但在瑞秋遇見其他五人時已經先在城裡度過一晚了。

02. Rachel's birthday is inconsistent.

In "The One with Joey's New Girlfriend",
Rachel tells Gunther her birthday is May 5,
and this is consistent with the month of birthday parties
thrown for her on the show in "The One Where Rachel Finds Out",
(which aired in May 1995) and in her one-month-early surprise party
in "The One Where Rachel Smokes", (which aired in April 1999).

Rachel's 30th birthday, however, is celebrated in February
in "The One Where They All Turn Thirty",
(which aired on February 8, 2001).

Rachel also mentions that her birthday is after Valentine's Day
in "The One with the Girl From Poughkeepsie".
A birthday in February is also consistent with Rachel's statement
to a police officer in "The One with Chandler's Dad"
that she is an Aquarius (January 21- February 19).

瑞秋的生日問題：

在405 瑞秋告訴阿剛，她的生日是5/5
124 本集為瑞秋半的生日派對在五月(依據播出日期1995/5)
518 為瑞秋辦的"提前一個月驚喜生日派對"在四月(依據播出日期1999/4)
