Quinn should realize that...

Quinn should realize that she is INCAPABLE of doing anything unpopular because once she does it it BECOMES popular.

This was most obvious in QUINN THE BRAIN.

It was also in IS IT FALL YET when she gets a Tutor.

Also, (unbeknownst to her) in THE ROAD WARRIOR where she dresses alternative and the 3 J's love it, despite being against it earlier.

Please post other examples.

But the point is that if she realizes this then she can stop being so self-conscious about how she looks or what she does. She may already be on her way to that given the end of IS IT FALL YET.

This might result in her leaving the fashion club. Or it might result in her changing it, either becoming president or more covertly changing what its all about.

Some posters are hoping she'll rescue Stacy from Sandi. (Possibly by either of the two possibilities in last paragraph.) Sorry to say that Quinn has never shown any interest in helping Stacy. Even though Quinn doesn't put Stacy down like Sandi does, Quinn doesn't care about Stacy's problem, never urges her to stick up for herself or grow a spine.

Again, please post counterexamples if there are any.

(MY covert or overt goal is to get this newsgroup talking about Daria--- the last 6 postings were not about Daria.)

It becomes popular with *guys* , and what does that have to do with anything ? And Joey,Jamie, and Jameil went so far as to ask Daria for help to get Quinn back to her normal behavior in Quinn the Brain.

I thought that was more Sandi not wanting to be outdone, and the other two following along because that's what they do.

Again, what does what some guys think matter ?

I could easily see her getting Stacy on her side in any kind of power struggle , and then Tiffany would join Quinn and Stacy because that's more people than Sandi, and Tiffany is probably just as sick of Sandi as everyone else.

You are underestimating her urge to win against Sandi. Helping Stacy would be very bad from Sandi's perspective, and that is itself a reason to do it.

Daria is incredibly dumb. She has been in 10th grade for like 7 years!

Uh, ok, Daria was *never* shown in her sophomore year on this series. Which has so far lasted 4 years, *not* seven. If your post wasn't sarcastic, then feel free to return to the MTV Daria Chatroom. Really. It's ok.

I always thought that she started out in 10th grade in the series with Quinn being a freshman since she was a freshman in B&B... And also that she was a senior at the end of "Is it Fall Yet?" Or what grade is she in at the end of the movie, what grade was she in at the beginning of the series and what grade was she in her first and last appearances in B&B (you know what's weird? Even after the start of Daria, she was still seen in B&B unless she had a twin and the fatter, less attractive Daria stayed behind and the slightly different Daria with many shades of lipstick that change even in one show and an inability to smile unless she is truly happy or has done something evil left for Lawndale????)????

I think you're right, since she's been in Lawndale two years and then had a summer vacation depicted (some of seasons 2 or 3 may have taken place during her other summer vacation).

Yes.

and

Heh ... nope, she just ripened with maturity :)

So you don't think "Babylon 5" continuity was relevent to "Crusade" or that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" continuity is relevent to "Angel" or that "Cheers" continuity is relevent to "Frasier" ?

I'm not completely sure Quinn realizes what's going on with Stacy yet...if she starts gradually drifting away from the FC, she might realize just how badly Sandi is manipulating her and try (hopefully) to stop it. I think she'd be able to do more as a concerned outsider than a Fashion Club member.

I think Stacy scares the hell out of Quinn. Remember "Gifted" where Stacy tries to copy Quinn...dress like her, act like her, etc? Quinn got so freaked out about it she bailed on her.

Or to put it the way Chaka did in "Downtown": "I mean, like, you're going Single White Female on me!"

I don't think Quinn would ultimately stick up for Stacy...she's too freaked by her.

So did Buffy the Vampire Slayer, apparently, in 1998 (ep. "Faith, Hope, and Trick"; exact line: "Yeah, but I'm the one being Single-White-Femaled here.")
