David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
哼，我就知道Rachel和Ross之间曾经应该有点什么。泪目了。
十七年后，Rachel Monica Phoebe 还有Ross变得不多，Chan Chan man基本没怎么讲话，沉默寡言，Joey胖了不少头发也白啦。人生有多少个10+17年呢？
啊，Mike没有回来。最爱他和Phoebe认识的方式，浪漫到死。

也是10年的青春成长了。6名演员把最好的青春给了观众。
比起再拍一集剧情，这种回顾方式不会破坏我们对原剧的印象，而且让RR粉多年的念想成真，真是意外之喜。而要在电视上揭露这个埋藏近20年的秘密，难怪当时片酬谈不拢了……
怎么说呢？往“史诗巨作”方向做的意图是很明显的，“终”也是真的终了。
Last night in my apartment packing as I watch the 6 of them exit the scene.. thank you for the company.
Lisa还是当年的样子，David眼中最美的人。
很普通的流程，东拼西凑的流水。但是打5星。
我哭得像个水龙头他们几个人随便说个什么话都能trigger我的泪点 本来还在笑着就眼泪又开始掉 每次他们说还记得XX吗我都狂喊我记得我全都记得 这部剧还有他们六个人真的太美好了 David和Jen讲完当初相互crush过然后花絮里他俩在沙发那段嗑死我了呜呜呜
该讲清楚的尽力讲清楚了，人物的补完都完整了。当然还是有没讲明白的地方，但已经很好了。
其实我挺喜欢这样的。几个老友坐在一起，平淡的聊聊天就挺好。不需要再拍谁和谁的故事，再美好也不必。这个年纪我们都明白：人生没有、也不必圆满。再无岁月可回头。
爷青结！！！！！！！主要还是情怀~ 我最最最最最爱的人生第一部美剧！
爆出最大的料是Ross和Rachel的演员，真的曾擦出火花，他们的荧幕初吻是带着真爱的。但也止步于此。以前或许我会觉得遗憾，现在却想说，还好。就像他们自己说的，如果真的在一起又分开了，就不会像现在如此圆满。恋人乃至夫妻关系太亲密了，总有各种摩擦在消耗彼此的感情。但朋友就不同，总在适合的距离陪伴着你，却又在内心深处理解你，十年，二十年，一辈子。
好多哭点。第一个哭点在安妮斯顿说她求同期拍的另一个戏的制片放过她，因为她遇到了一群特别好的人。看到全世界那么多人因为老友记被救赎，真是感概啊。
I will be there for you……forever.
不知道庵野是恨她还是真想给她个好结局 某种意义上是必要的 但我不可以
虽然没看过母剧，但依然会被主演们的重聚给打动。就一个好奇，这次重聚特辑几经波折，说是因为几位主演片酬谈不拢，那这一个半小时的时长，他们最后到底拿了多少钱，才愿意重新坐到那张沙发上演出啊？
真的有一种跟他们共同经历了十年的感觉。
