It was on today. And you got to admit, whether you like it (aka, "are correct") or don't (aka "are not correct), you have to admit it has one of Quinn's best lines in it.
Daria: You tried to buy my influence with a DATE?
Quinn: That's how we do it in America, comrade.
Showing, yet again, that the difference between Quinn and Daria is less intelligence than priorities.

What I thought was interesting is the unanswered question of who wrote the "talking points" that Robert carried on the cards? Robert certainly didn't write them, otherwise he wouldn't have needed cards. He stumbled through reading them and probably barely understood the questions anyway. It had to have been Quinn. Which means that Quinn is up to date with current events and issues and could probably hold an real, intelligent conversation/debate with Daria if she cared to.
I continue to think that the big difference, maybe the only difference, between Quinn and Daria is in priorities rather than attractiveness or intelligence. We often see glimpses of Quinn's intelligence and we also often see glimpses of Daria's natural beauty, even in spite of her glasses. Or maybe because of them. Of course I've always been attracted to women with "big round ones."

Depends on your opinion of beauty, I guess.
If you mean pure attractiveness, Quinn is a no brainer. But when coupled with her personality, Daria has a certain allure to her. (Although I do agree with you about women with glasses)

Yes, also, unless I'm greatly mistaken, Quinn *didn't* find that essay from 'Quinn the Brain' in the trash. She most likey wrote it. And, although *I've* certainly seen better essays, her's wasn't so bad.

"Academic Imprisonment" was most definitely written by Quinn. She told her Fashion Club cohorts that she found it in the trash as a cover story, in order to explain her "weirdo behavior" (to paraphrase Sandi). Quinn can be intelligent when she chooses to be; she simply doesn't choose to be very often.

Don't be naive.
She got some guy on the school paper's staff to write them for her.
Not to mention that portraying anyone who enjoys being popular, playing sports, or fashion as stupid is just as bad as shunning people because they are brains. Jodie helps, though.

All Quinn would have to do is pick up the paper and write down the headlines, taking it for granted that Daria probably read all of them. The 'news' accusation from "Too Cute" was probably the first thing that popped into Sandi's devious little mind as something a 'brain' would be into; I doubt she had actually caught Quinn trying to steal a glance at the newspaper. I would say that Quinn is definitely smart enough to keep up with current events, but I feel that if she ever reads the paper, it's to see what's on sale at Cashman's. (I only keep up with current events through "The Daily Show" and "Politically Incorrect" myself...subscribing to the paper would cost money a poor college student doesn't have and I admittedly don't have the attention span for that kind of thing anyway. The things that go on in the world are too annoyng and/or depressing for me to spend too much time on.)

If Quinn did that then she'd already have done more than most people do-- especially High School students.
I really don't know why this seems to be so hard to accept, a female who is attractive, popular--and intelligent. They're not mutually exclusive traits. And I also don't know why it seems to be so hard to accept that Daria might be attractive as well, when she wants to be. Intelligence is sexy. This apparent dichotomy of attractiveness and intelligence is the very essence of Daria the TV show. I think it's much more effective when there's some slight ambiguity between the two characters.
