I haven't watched this show in ages and feel like watching some episodes.... I'm looking for body image, eating/health, diets...

If there are none, what are some scenes involving these themes? :)

Does any character diet? Eat low fat?

I have been a fan of this show since 2011 and I used to ship Daria Morgendorffer with Trent Lane. However, after my recent viewings of "Lane Misérables", I started to realize it's not going to work. When Daria was 16 at the time, she had a crush on Trent Lane and had their moments together, like in the episodes "The Road Worrier", "That Was Then, This Is Dumb", "Pierce Me" and of course "Lane Misérables". I enjoyed them. Daria and Trent being boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife would not work because of Trent's laziness or busy schedule with his band. I have some friends who ship them and I'm okay with it.

Now after Daria got over her crush, she still remains friends with him. Even years later as adults now, they still keep in touch from time to time.

What are your thoughts on DariaXTrent?

Possibly a strange question, but I'm a teacher and I want to show an episode of the show to my 8th graders. Obviously it needs to be clean (no curse words, no sexual stuff, etc.) but I'd also like it to be a little topical to them if possible. My original plan was to show them S2E8 Gifted, since I think its got stuff in it they'd find relatable, but 2 minutes in they said "damn" twice 😔.

My goal is to have them write a paragraph-long response to whichever episode I end up showing, so help from anybody who remembers the episodes better than me would be great!

What is your favorite Jane centric episode?

can anybody else see it?

What type of voice does Sandy have? Where do ya'll think she's from. I can't get over her saying Quinn is that the gurllll who lives with you? Um Quinn's cousin or something! LOL 😂

I feel like Daria and Trent should've got together or something later on in the show since Daria had a crush on him. I know that Trent said, "maybe if you were a little older, I'd take you out" to Daria which made me think they probably would've got together later on but turns out the show just vanished like that. Anyways I very much disliked when Daria took her own best friend's boyfriend. Literally broke code no?

Who else can relate?

Somehow I never noticed during the interview scene that the guy from Wizard is really annoyed with all of them. Jodi with her incredibly standard answers, Upchuck constantly talking about candy that the head of the company is into but not this guy, and Daria doing her thing. But the guy is just annoyed and frustrated at every question.

curse weirdos for being weird!

Something just popped in my head. In my fantasy world, Jay Sherman (now a filmmaker) directs a documentary about the band Mystik Spiral, which chronicles the life and careers of the band, which is narrated by Nara Burns (who I once shipped with Trent Lane before I scrapped the idea) with behind the scenes footage of their gigs, photos of them, interviews with band members Trent, Jesse, Max and Nick, as well as friends and family (and possibly fans) like Daria Morgendorffer, Jane Lane, J.T. Marsh, Alec DeLeon, Rita Torres, Nara Burns, Wolf Bronski, Logan, Norman,, Kit Walker, Jr., Metalhead, Richard Greyson, Elisa Maza and others who knew Trent. If a documentary like this exists, would you watch it? I would.

I always wonder whether Trent's character prototype came from Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor. They have the same name and musical style, but I couldn't find any evidence from the creators.

So i was watching the s4 ep12 fire yesterday and there is this scene where the fashion club was ‘upgraded’ for free to a business suite by the creepy bellman and sandy warns quinn about how he could be a stalker and not a good guy quinn thought he was. So it just got me thinking was sandy being a good friend here or was she just being her regular self and belittling quinn’s choices and just happened to have suggested something close to the truth? I know it’s a stupid thing but it just got me thinking, what do u guys think?

Trent would be in his 40s now. Do you think his band was successful? If not, how do you think his life turned out?

I noticed today that there are no live Daria episodes on the CC Animation channel on Pluto TV today. I guess Daria doesn’t have enough viewers. What a bummer!

(I was going to post an image from S5E9 showing these three films on the Cinplex marquee, but apparently images are no longer permitted in this subreddit. So, I made this a poll instead.)

I’m going with Decoupage: Subtitled. It sounds the most lively of the three.

Who would he be friends with? What are some storylines you think the writers might have done with his character? My guess is they would have done an episode where he's considering dropping out but decides not to.

Now I heard about that someone wrote a script for a Mystik Spiral spinoff, where Jane's brother Trent Lane and his band get their own series before MTV scrapped it due to MTV Animation shutting down. If it got made, I wonder how it would turn out? What are your thoughts?

I would think it would be a fun watch.

Am I the only one who never really found Jodie interesting? Out of all characters in the show why would she be the one to have a spin-off show! What do you guys think about her and the idea of a show based off her

I mean daria in quinn the brain

Knocked me out

The show never addresses it, but are they presumably getting in through Trent and the band, sneaking in, using fake ID, or lenient bouncers?

I know in season 5 they're 18, but for much of the show they're minors. I initially assumed they were getting in with the band(back door) or allowed entry at the front because they know them. Yeah its a show, and tv defies logic, but this show was grounded and generally followed the conventions of real life. So it seemed this little detail would be no exception. Yet Daria and Jane just casually walk in, no bouncers present. And they're never shown sneaking in or trying not to be spotted by weary adults and bar staff once inside.

I understand Mtv was trying to keep a positive image for its teen audience, so drinking and smoking amongst the students are never depicted, and it's only implied Trent(an adult) smokes. Usually when Daria and Jane are shown at bars, it's under the guise that they're there to see Mystik Spiral. But they're still teens in a dive bar, haha.

Any recommendations for songs or playlists that have a similar vibe to the into

I'd say that, from what I've seen, Tom is, by far, the most polarizing character in the Daria universe. Some people (and would probably say a huge portion of the public) absolutely hate him, others are surprisingly fine with his character. I'm excited to hear your opinions on the topic :)

when she out of nowhere tells Upchuck to Shut his Miserable Lying Cheating mouth I lost it. the unhinged teachers were just as much stars as daria and Jane
