Line 21:
This is the last-ever episode of ''Daria'', bringing to an end the official canon.
Like "Is It Fall Yet?", the movie opens with a fantasy title sequence and a newly commissioned song by [[Splendora]] (about college being a pain in the ass). The sequence shows various iconic images of college life in America (and pisstakes thereof) throughout the
This has been released on DVD twice, and both times it had a number of small cuts (usually brief lines) - the full version has only ever been seen on television. The cuts mainly have extra jokes, and aren't noticeable at all if you weren't previously aware of them.
The various colleges the characters talk about being interested in have obvious parallels with real-life schools. Raft College, for example, is likely Tufts, a prestigious school on the outskirts of Boston, while Bromwell is probably Yale, given its distance from Boston and location of New Town (New Haven). Crestmore (described by Mack as "the dream of dreams") may be Harvard or a school of comparable quality in another part of the country, such as Stanford.
The state Lawndale is in has ''two'' state universities, one just called "[[State University]]" and another called [[Lawndale State University]]. (State universities are the cheaper, state-funded places in America's college system)
Some fans believe that IICY? presents state universities in an overly bad light, presenting private universities as inherently better: Mack says the state university doesn't have a business school, Jane is disparaging of their art departments, Great Prairie State is presented as rubbish. (However, "State University" and Lawndale State both reject Brittany and Jane because their grades aren't up to spec)
Daria's graduating class includes [[Cindy (backgrounder)|Cindy]], a character that was part of ''Quinn's'' year. Since the character was visually based on show producer [[Cindy Brolsma]], this may be a tip of the hat by the animators.
