Cartoon Corner- Daria: Is It Fall Yet?

Alternately titled "8 or whatever short tales about Lawndale". Because there isn't really a plot here, but a series of character vignettes.

Cartoon Corner- Daria (Season 2)

Mmm. So the thrust of season 2 is setting the stage for the deconstruction of Daria's worldview. The previous set was largely establishing who she and her family were, while her we're slowly fleshing out the closest supporting cast members (Brittany, Kevin, Jodie, the Fashion Club, the teachers). Which in turn slowly puts to lie the cynicism that makes up Daria's headspace, because these disparate people are on the whole decent folk who consider he a friend, despite Daria's unwillingness to give them any credit. Most of the focus episodes for her crush on Trent are in this season as well, showing the first major chink in her armor (along with The New Kid, which is basically that whole subplot condensed into an episode). Add to that Gifted, where Daria sees the far extreme of herself and how it's no better than anything else, and a shocking number of pieces are in play for big shifts in the show.

Hurray for clear season markers on the full series set of like 60 episodes.
