Farewell, seven years ago

Seven years ago today, Animation Magazine ran an article on the final TV movie for Daria, set to air only a few days from then. You can read the article at Outpost Daria here. Ms. Barch will give the eulogy.


Fortress CINCGREEN

  • Data Dump, by CINCGREEN (Part 11): Daria Morgendorffer put on the black mask. It was a mask that covered her entire head, like an item of rubber fetish wear.

PPMB
  • Falling into College 66: Christmas in White, by Richard Lobinske (Part 1): "Look at the bright side," Daria said. "Girls fighting over the bouquet can be cheap and enjoyable entertainment."
  • Long Trek Home, by Ranger Thorne (Part 2): God, I hope this isn't our universe. We've been using the charts in the computer to check out worlds that are supposed to be inhabited while we headed to Earth. They aren't. It looks as if something has wiped all traces of intelligent life from the surface.
  • Order and Chaos, by Legendeld (Part 20): “You’re a Sith.” It didn’t seem to be a question or even a statement so she didn’t bother to answer. “I think you want to kill them.”
  • Other Side, by Legendeld (Part 5): "We spent two hundred years allowing the machines to do all the work. We spend so much time keeping the ones we have working that we do not have the time or resources to develop new ones.”
  • Stacy Rowe, Seeker (Part II), by jtranser (continued): A polka version of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir"? At a wedding? This would make an interesting crossover with "Christmas in White," above! And in the next part, we hear Sandi say: "So, Stacy, let me see if I understand this correctly. You're going to go flying off to the center of our galaxy just to blow up another galaxy to the sounds of Michael Bolton."

The Polka version of Kashmir would have to be played on a steam calliope, of course. It's the warmth of coal fired smoke that does the job right....

I think Daria and Michael need this for their wedding. I truly do.

Would you believe some people consider Seeker to be: "off the wall", "out there" and "confusing"?
