Timothy O'Neill: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

Mr. O'Neill was gentle, soft spoken and ludicrously sensitive, very in touch with his emotions but incapable of controlling them. His English assignments were often ill-disguised attempts to get his students to express personal pain or experiences, and he himself would often cry in class. His ability to perform such simple tasks as remembering his own students' names was come and go at best.

On the second season episode, "[[The Daria Hunter]]," Mr. O'Neill (unwittingly) began a sexual-but-not-romantic relationship with the ~~bitter, man-hating~~ [[Janet Barch]], which is repeated in episodes plotted similarly to "[[The Daria Hunter]]," "[[Fair Enough]]," and "[[Just Add Water]]" (and was mentioned briefly in the episode "[[Murder, She Snored]]"). The clear implication is that they engage in sexual practices that most would find unusual or disturbing.

On the second season episode, "[[The Daria Hunter]]," Mr. O'Neill (unwittingly) began a sexual-but-not-romantic relationship with the misandrist [[Janet Barch]], which is repeated in episodes plotted similarly to "[[The Daria Hunter]]," "[[Fair Enough]]," and "[[Just Add Water]]" (and was mentioned briefly in the episode "[[Murder, She Snored]]"). The clear implication is that they engage in sexual practices that most would find unusual or disturbing.

The series finale/made-for-TV movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]],'' featured O'Neill accidentally becoming engaged to Ms. Barch, and being coached by Mr. DeMartino on how to break off the relationship. The results are amusing.
