Planet Daria: Difference between revisions

Line 46:
==Ted==
<p>
On March 29, 1998 [[The New Kid]] premiered on MTV. Featuring Daria’s first “date”, instead of the dream hookup with Trent the fans were all waiting for, it showed instead a clumsy, awkward Daria thrust into a social situation that she didn’t handle well at all. Instead of Daria, triumphant, the fans met, well, themselves. Ted was too much like most prom dates for comfort, or, to male fans, too much like their reflection in the mirror (The author falls into the latter category). There was stunned silence, and then during the ensuing drought[[Drought]], much reflection on if the show had already “jumped the shark”. It would be late June when the next half of the season would be shown, and if any such shark jumping had indeed taken place. There was plenty of time for the fans to get on each other’s nerves.</p>
<p> And they did.</p>
 
==Boner==
<p>All Eden’s have their snakes, and Planet Daria had one it could call its very own. The screen name was Boner, and this serpent found its way to the message board and started flaming away at many of its inhabitants. Most tried to ignore Boner, but others let him get under their skin. (Boner claimed he was female lesbian of Manchurian ancestry, but his IP address put in a suburb of Bakersfield, CA, and his behavior put him as male, at age 30, still living in his mothers basement). </p>
