The creep minister should have been imprisoned

[Rectangular_businessman · 7/10 · 13 January 2024]

This episode introduced Helen's sisters Rita and Amy, showcasing by the very first time the conflictive relationship she had with her family (Thus explaining her competitive behavior in the series).

While the fandom loves aunt Amy for bonding with Daria, for me the unsung hero from this episode was Garrett, Quinn's love interest of the day, the only one who gave the creep minister a very well deserved punch in the face. Helen, being to focused on her own conflict with her sister, remained completely unaware of the situation, but I'm kinda surprised Daria didn't even try to do something, other making a very small snide remark.

Seriously, it almost seem a bit out of character for her.

Kinda wish that creep minister had been taken by the police at the end, instead of showing him targeting a new young victim, which ruined my enjoyment for this episode despite all its good qualities.

Seriously, what was the point of adding such kind of character and treating it like a gag? Compare this with the episode "Lucky Strike", where a similar situation is treated accordingly.

At least Jake got a happy ending. Sorta.

Luhrmann was cool, kinda wish he had appeared more often in the series.

6.5/10 (It would be a 9 if at least that gross minister had received any sort of proper comeuppance)

Daria the bridesmaid

[Tweekums · 10/10 · 28 November 2012]

When Helen hears that her niece is getting married she insists that her daughters should be bridesmaids; something Daria isn't too keen on. When we are introduced to the rest of her family one can see why; there is clearly a bitter rivalry between Helen and her sister and the other bridesmaids make Quinn look deep! It isn't a total disaster though; she meets a second aunt who is very much like Daria and Lerman, a boy who makes Daria look positively jolly. Coincidentally back at school the students are having a bridal show.

This episode is the fourth good one out of four this season; there are lots of laughs; frequently from things we shouldn't really be laughing at such as somebody mistaking Kevin and Mack for a couple and the minister hitting on Quinn and then getting in a fight! Daria herself is on top form as she sarcastically tells the other bridesmaids that she is an exotic dancer among other things! Lerman was a great one time character; I loved how he managed to make Daria seem bubbly by comparison.

Wonderful

This is one of the very best shows of the series and it's amazing that so many great episodes occurred at the beginning of season two. The show clearly was firing on all cylinders, so to speak.

The Morgendorffers are going to a wedding. It seems that Helen's niece is getting married and Helen insists her girls are bridesmaids. Then, once they arrive at the wedding, the full horror of the occasion becomes apparent. Helen and her sister (the mother of the bride) apparently have a long-standing rivalry and it bursts forth almost immediately. Then, out of the blue, the third sister--the outcast--arrives. This cool aunt is more like Daria and naturally is full of great quips and cynicism. She and Daria naturally hit it off. However, my favorite is Lerman--a very weird and Stephen Wright-like guy who is just plain weird. Sadly, this is the only episode with Lerman--as he would have been the perfect boyfriend for Daria.

The show is simply hilarious--exceptionally well-written and very funny. Plus, if you've ever been to some uncomfortable family get-togethers, this one will really make you laugh!
