Here are my votes for Daria By Numbers. In each category, I've put my choice for best episode first, followed by all the runners-up, with the least favorite last (though in a few cases -- like the '13s -- it's a matter of "they're all good, and these are only slightly less good").
Since today is the deadline for voting, I'm not including commentary on my choices; rather, I'll simply state that my choice for the top spot is usually based on "did I like this episode enough to watch it again?" Once I did that, rather than over-analyze them, the choices became simple. :-)
Also, I've left out the '12s, since I voted on those earlier.

| 112 - The Teachings of Don Jake |
Probably the best episode of S1, behind "The Misery Chick".
Jake's childhood angst... visual proof as to why the Lawndale Lanes should
*stay* the black sheep of the family ('cause the rest of 'em are insane!)...
and, most of all, GLITTER BERRIES!
|
| 212 - Pierce Me |
A good
episode, but I can't enjoy it as much as I probably should because the whole
'shipper thing seems... I don't know... forced, perhaps? Like they're shoving it
down our throats as if we can't pick up on the clues for ourselves. The phone
conversation was one of the show's classic scenes, though.
"Rrrrrrrrrredial!"

| 312 - Just Add Water |
"The Daria Hunter" and
"Fair Enough" meet "Titanic" over a year too late. I support the concept of
recycling, but not when it comes to scripts that were already mediocre to begin
with. Really, the only stinker of this bunch.

| 412 - Fire! |
Where
others see "Dawson's Creek," I see "real life" (or close enough to make no
difference). Well, okay, Jake's antics are right out of "The Simpsons," but
*besides* that. :-) You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't been through
(or known someone who's been through) a similar situation. At the very least, it
didn't play out like all of those myriad daytime and nighttime soap
operas...
