Season 5 Spoiler - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TVGuide.com has a new Daria episode listed on MTV(US) for May 21 at 10pm ET....
Daria
One J at a Time
30 min.
Quinn takes the steady-boyfriend plunge, but developing a
relationship proves a
formidable challenge for the flirtatious teen.This sounds like a good one!
M Man
Quinn has been keeping the J's guessing for 4 and a half seasons now. It'll be interesting to see what happens when she picks one of them, and how it affects his friendship with the other three. Come to think of it, we don't know much about these 3 guys except they're all infatuated with Quinn.
I'm there!
Steve Cross
Hmmm. Does everyone remember Quinn gave the 3 J's the LJBF talk way back in "The Invitation"? Here's the conversation:
Quinn - I mean, you're really special guys, and you deserve a really great girlfriend. Three, actually. But I feel that you're pressuring me to do things I'm not ready for.
Jeffy - Huh?
Joey - I don't understand.
Jamie - What do you mean?
Quinn - That doesn't mean you have to stop paying attention to me and buying me stuff and driving me places, but it does mean that... I think... what I'm trying to say is...
Joey - Let's be friends?
Quinn - Yeah. Sorry.
I wonder if that's all forgotten or will it play some role in "One J at a Time". We know from "Quinn the Brain" that the 3 J's get upset when Quinn acts un-Quinnish.
Unfortunately, I just checked the MTV website and it looks like the Clip of the Week is still the one from "Art Burn".

I have yet to watch both episodes, but I HAVE read the transcripts for both. So my question is -- is the writer a first-time writer or is he/she familiar with what's gone on before? If the writer's familiar with TI & QTB, then there's a good possibility that the events in the two earlier episodes will play some role in OJAAT.

I really hope it's one of the older writers. I don't want a mess like 'Camp Fear' again.
I'm not saying that the older writers are better I'm just saying that they are better at keeping some type of 'consistency' in the story lines for Daria.
I mean Daria is no AEON FLUX where every episodes is a brand new story having no relation to the one before it.
But that is what 'Camp Fear' felt like to me. Except 'Camp Fear' did not have near the quality as an AEON FLUX episode.
It wasn't quality period.
Can you tell that I wasn't really impressed with 'Camp Fear'?

I sure can tell. I also suppose you weren't impressed with "Groped by an Angel" -- both it and CF were written by Jonathan Greenberg -- and both episodes probably had the same flaw: too much attempted in too short a time period (or too much filler, not enough meat). Hopefully, Greenberg WON'T be the writer, but some writer who's more familiar with the series -- and doesn't have Greenberg's problems -- will be writing OJAAT.

And here I figured it would be one of Firah's favorites, since Tom isn't in it! :-)
Well, I didn't like "Groped by an Angel" much, but I watched "Camp Fear" again tonight (I've been watching some of my tapes during the break) and liked it better than I remembered. Though I still liked all the other season 5 episodes, except Fizz Ed, better.
"One J at a Time" sounds like such a good idea - Quinn struggling to become a one-man woman - that I'll be very disappointed if it turns out to be poor episode.

So will I. We'll just have to wait and see on the episode, however.

I thought GBAA had some of THE funniest lines in the history of Daria. It's one of my favorites. I sort of liked the storyline too. It gave us that much more character development.

Thank God!
And we don't have to wait for late June or early July to see a new ep either!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it's ALWAYS good to see Daria on the air - even in reruns - regardless if you have the episodes already taped.
There is something that's - I don't know - 'special' when Daria is actually on the TV schedule.
I'm going to miss that when the show ends.
To the fans overseas pleeeeeeease don't moan about seeing another Season 1 episode for the fiftieth time this month.
<Yes I know some of you do read these spoiler marked posts ;-D>
I wish I was in your shoes!
Hell. I wish I was in front of YOUR television when they show that Season 1 episode for the fiftieth time...AGAIN!
