413 - Dye! Dye! My Darling Kar Wild>To me, a love triangle is the same as those situations on TV where a man and woman live together happily, only to be pulled apart by his or her sudden, ill-advised affair with a co-worker, friend, or former enemy (with whom he or she happens to have unbelievable chemistry). Does that happen in real life? Sure. Does it happen to *everybody*, as TV would have you believe? No.


I dunno, when you consider the fact that *I've* been involved in a love triangle maybe, just maybe, it is more common to the human condition than we might think...though i didn't really know I was in the triangle at the time...but anyway....

Beyond that, I dunno, I've got a sneaking suspicion that the writers never intended the show to go past high school and I think they wanted to tackle the "Daria has a boyfriend" angle for probably the same reaon Bartlett has MS, it makes for good storytelling. Which lead them into a quandery, who? Up to the introduction of Tom the only male character with a brain was Mack and he's out because you're back at triangle. I guess the question becomes, to what end was Tom introduced? Was he originally created to rift Daria and Jane as Jane's boyfriend, or as the object of Daria's affection? Because i think it's clear that the only reason he was introduced was to rift Daria and Jane, again because it makes for good storytelling. You almost wonder if maybe they hit on the idea of the "Triangle" late in the development of the season, which could explain the lack of build-up. The look-back in parade simply being something thrown in at the "last moment." Who knows, well we know who knows, but will they share? Or have they and am I just talking out of my ass?

MOVIE - Is it Fall Yet? 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



501 - Fizz Ed 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



502 - Sappy Anniversary 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx

504 - Camp Fear 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



505 - The Story of D 12345678912xxxxxxxxxxxx



506 - Lucky Strike I'm just going to say this; how can you not go with Lucky Strike as the best one of this bunch? It has everything, strong character development on all sorts of fronts, a "classic" Daria situation (the strike), the continuing Helen-Li battle, the Trent/O'Neill thing, DeMartino 'nuff said(by the by, andybody catch the name of the new teacher in Ed, Dennis Martino...D.Martino...lord i've got too much free time), and some of the best lines in the show. 100% pure gold the whole way through. Looking back on it I keep remembering other parts that just worked...like the way Daria got the phone for Helen as Quinn was describing class with Mr. Edwards. plus they played a snippet of Babylon.
