Camera perspective in this show wasn't always true to life, and Daria never does anything to suggest she has a secret desire for physical violence, so if the camera/art suggests she was really close to hitting Travis I'd probably take it with a grain of salt.<br /><br />Remember the earlier babysitting episode - the kids she's babysitting go from sitting on a small bed to jumping up and down on a bed that's depicted as being massive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472833061426444581.post-38963963883819873492009-05-02T09:58:00.000-04:002009-05-02T09:58:00.000-04:00Check the B&B episode "Incognito" wh...Check the B&B episode "Incognito" where she calmly acts as spotter so that the biology class can return fire on the kid who just shot at them.The wider point being that violence was so common that they just went back to the lesson as soon as the exchange was over.Other examples from B&B include her suckering two mentally disabled kids into paying hundreds of dollars on her behalf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472833061426444581.post-80034096474128709292008-02-13T02:44:00.000-05:002008-02-13T02:44:00.000-05:00The video file that I have may be different, becau...The video file that I have may be different, because I think the time elapsed between Travis starting to leap and Daria hitting his suitcase is closer to 3 seconds. There is also a cut and change in angle of view between Travis leaping and Daria flattening that suitcase, so the "actual" time difference between leap and smashing may be even longer.<BR/><BR/>I think that one reason why Travis started to move rather early is because he recognized the car and the girls or because this wasn't first time somebody accelerated for him.<BR/><BR/>Still dumb thing to do though.<BR/><BR/>It looked to me that Daria's problems with driving were more about attitude rather than actual skills in that episode, but her inexperience combined with that target practice could still have caused casualties with a less swift target.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about the minister in "I don't", but I think that Daria wasn't in most of the scenes he was in. That could explain her lack of reaction. Also possible is that Daria didn't react because she thought that Quinn wasn't in any real danger because of her skills with guys and a large number of potential witnesses. All the minister did was talk about "love" and Rita had asked him to officiate despite knowing his problems with "love", so Daria didn't have much to act about.<BR/><BR/>In "Lucky Strike" Daria did the most efficient, maximum results with least effort, thing she could do when she heard Quinn tell about substitute teacher.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion Daria isn't evil but can rarely be impulsively nasty and dangerous with right stimulus.<BR/>Most of her opponents end up suffering one of her observations or money loss and low level humiliation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472833061426444581.post-58372183063317728772008-02-12T20:21:00.000-05:002008-02-12T20:21:00.000-05:00Heed my warnings!

However, as an inexperienced driver, she probably didn't have a feel for just how hard a large vehicle is to turn on a dime, and didn't think about how her velocity would carry her over him much faster than she could react (yes, Daria's smart, but there's a big difference between head knowledge and the kind of instinctive feel that experience brings). So, dumb? Absolutely. Evil? I don't think so.E. A.

Thus the reality of how close she came to harming a person never occured to her. <BR/>It could also be said that she weighed the likely hood that a judge would send a model innocent young girl to jail for accidently running over a stranger.<BR/><BR/>Either way it stands out from what we would normaly consider Canon behavior.legendeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491413839944074647noreply@blogger.com
