thirteens: 213; 513; 413; 113; 313, COULD consider 413/113 a tie...

and now, something that's been bugging me (of course;> off & on since just after "Boxing Daria" aired: have kept hearing about how this "explains how Daria got that way" (&/or words to that effect), and/but a distinct shortage of qualifiers such as "offers a glimpse of/ snapshot of/ window into". Maybe it's just considered so obvious that no one bothers, but short of something as extreme as, say, becoming a quintuple amputee in a tragic blimp accident on superbowl sunday, no *one* incident really "explains" *anyone*.

not dissing the ep (check the ranking I gave it in my votes), just've always felt there was more to be said/seen there.

Um> Well...what we know is what's on the screen. And what's on the screen is Daria realizing that much of this is her doing, and a pivotal moment in her life.

Um> I cause trouble, so I'll retreat.

Um> Sure, there's more...but the episode spent its first two acts setting up this repressed memory, revealing it drop by drop...because it was that important.


Thanks should go out to Mr. Mills for trading me a bunch of eps I'd prob'bly never've seen otherwise.

I'll be back with my votes for the 13s when their time comes.

That is all.
