Hey people! well, I may not be one to analyze the ep of last night, but in one word: COOL! heh...I thought what daria said about Quinn was very interesting, also about herself... So, I take it the daria chat at MTV.com is finally up and running...I bet no one is there. Maybe we can find each other there or something...Hey, what's going on with the whole IRC chat thing I remember reading posts about? Michelle? Anyone? Well, I must survey the other posts of the kingdom (or queendom rather) under my evil reign. Where is the matriarchy, btw? ah well...peace,

Well, some of us ventured into the MTV chatroom last night, and I think my impression can best be summed up in one word. Squint. Yes, "squint." I had to do so much of it to read the text that I had a splitting headache in, oh, 5 minutes or so. IRC still has a lot more flexibility for playfulness.
And here's the IRC info, for those of you so inclined...
The place: irc.sorcery.net (Use port 6667 if you need to add that data into your IRC client.) The channel: #Daria+ (The "+" means it's better! <g>) The times: it's pretty much a 24/7 gathering place now, although the majority of the activity happens between 9PM and 12AM Eastern Time M-Sat, and there's "Brunch with Daria" (or something like that) Sundays 2-5PM. It's designed so folks from "inconvenient" time zones can join the usual silliness.
In general, it's a pleasant place to lose track of several hours, and just like ATD, we sometimes even discuss the show. ;-)
On Wednesdays after new eps, there's usually a mass exodus to the channel to dissect the latest offering, but for the benefit of Left Coasters, a spoiler room is set up to prevent the accidental ruining of the surprises. (I think it's usually #Lawndale.)
http://www.msgeek.com/lc/irc.html has all the details. We're in #Daria+ on the friendly, fun Sorcery.Net Network just about every day. On New Daria nights we use #Lawndale as a spoiler room...those who don't wish to be spoiled can just hang out in #Daria+.
Since many of us "Daria" fans are also Iron Chef fans, on Friday nights we also have #iron-chef for your armchair judging pleasure.
IRC is fun and easy and IRC clients exist that can run on almost any machine, even older ones! http://www.irchelp.org/ for more info.
I can assure you also that the average IQ in #Daria+ is a lot higher than that in the MTV.Com "official" room.
