"I'll be there for you" may be forever live in our minds as we take a look at HBO's recent Friends Reunion Special.

We share our thoughts on the special, discuss some of our favorite surprise supporting cast appearances and of course we answer the question for good of whether or not Ross and Rachel were on a break! What was your favorite part of the special? Was there anyone you hoped to see that didn't make a guest appearance?

Today we ask the question that has been plaguing our minds for over a decade now: Was Cobb awake? To answer this question, we take a deeper look at the story, the characters, and how Christopher Nolan films inspire the audience to formulate their own opinion. While there may never be a true answer to this question, we think we’ve found some decent proof to support our side of the argument! What do you think? Is Cobb awake at the end of Inception?
