Here is a new section on Jem articles - ie: stuff not written by me!   A forum for people who have Jem opinions, info & photos that they want to share but don't yet have or want a webspace on which to publish it. If you have an article about Jem (preferably about something I haven't already discussed in length on Jem Vs. P) that you would like to see published here, feel free to contact me. 

Hey, everyone—even the most person who has the biggest crush on Jerrica “Jem” Benton and her friends, would admit some episode are in dying need to be fixed by random about of degrees . I am going in fix some episode in order from the beginning of the series right down to its end in Jem’s chorological order—that means time order in Jem’s universe—not the airing order in our universe. I new the chorological Jem order from “Totally Outrageous: Part 1 – The Beginning” as the first Jem episode to “Outro: Part 3” as the final Jem chronological episode. 

FIRST FIX: “THE MUSIC AWARDS: PART #2”

The events before the fix in this third mini-series at the start of the series takes place is similar to have the original show did until just after Pizzazz used Techrat’s laser to damage Starlight Music’s “Jem and the Holograms” huge bulletin ad on their roof. The fix is Jerrica still uses one of Synergy’s hologram—but instead of the monster, it’s Jem on a hang glider—who teases Pizzazz into a race. Once, over the park, Pizzazz doesn’t see Jem—but since Jem’s head of her—Pizzazz assumes that Jem landed—and tries to land herself—landing herself in the lake as usual—getting on Techrat’s bad side—the events following are as like they were in the original series.

SECOND FIX: “IN SEARCH OF THE STOLEN ALBUMS”

In this episode, the Holograms had gotten fowl up by the Misfits who had Zipper steal one of Jem’s master tapes. As usual, Jerrica uses Synergy to decode the Misfits clue pointing them to Flash Studio—where Pizzazz has the real Starlight Music tape. Like usual, three out of the five Holograms use Synergy to appear as the Misfits. The Holograms/Misfits are the following: Jem (playing Pizzazz), Shana (playing Roxy) and Kimber (playing Stormer) enter with a tape—and replace this tape for the master tape that’s the Misfits. The revealing of this tape is different—it’s not French lessons—but a new wave-type song, “In My Face”, in how the Holograms view the Misfits does their music. Pizzazz is too put out by this—and but does shake up Eric Raymond for a ruined plan.

THIRD FIX: “GLITTER AND GOLD”

This starts at climax of the series, both the Misfits and the Holograms are out of albums—the score is still tie as 5,000 records. The Holograms and the Misfits tempers are out of control—both Rio and Eric are wonder how much damage a catfight could cause Owen’s company. Just then, a new shipment arrives from Starlight Music—who quickly put some more “Glitter N’ Gold” albums on the self—much to the Misfits shock. It turns out Rio had told the staff that gang had wrecked the original shipment. A shy girl in a raincoat enters and buys one of “Jem’s new albums—still making Jem the winner. 
 
 

FOURTH FIX: “TALENT SEARCH”

The girl in the “Glitter & Gold” fix is Carmen “Raya” Alsono, the future drummer of the Holograms. Raya recalls the buying of the albums by herself in her raincoat—and doubts that she never be help to stretch her 15 minutes of fame—the following portion are more or less follow the original Talent Search to a capital J—I know it’s a that’s suppose to a T, but this is a Jem series we talking about.  

FIFTH FIX: “THE FAN”

The rich boy offers a weird guess that Jerrica is Jem—much to the Misfits’s dismay-with only Stormer somewhat believing it. Stormer has an idea to turn the rich boy’s house into a copycat of Starlight Mansion. Of course, Jerrica is itching to get done with the concert-and gets annoyed by Jem. Jerrica enter discovering that they is a faux problem for the false Holograms, some how someone a mystery drink has removed the musician compare—but this fake is review when Jerrica reveal that the Holograms NEED to PERFORM a concert the next day—when Jem sings perfectly. Jerrica unmasks her as Stormer—just as the real Holograms arrive—Kimber disguised as Jem. 

FIFTH FIX: “FATHER’S DAY”

Just a change of personality for this episode’s fix. The fix is Kimber is willing to write the song-only with a catch-22 for Jerrica—she wants to sing as Jem for this song or Jerrica doesn’t get any song for Video on “Father’s Day”. Jerrica swallows her pride-and allows it.  

SIXTH FIX: “THE PRESIDENT DILEMMA”

In this case, it’s not Synergy being given the Pentagon that gives the case of alarm, but Jem had gotten a FASLE letter from President of the United States—written by the American Raider. Jem angry at being trick—set out to get American Raider—and discovers that American Raider kidnapped the President of the United States—who after being saved by Jem and earns the real performance at the Kennedy Center. 

SEVEN FIX: RENAISSANCE WOMAN

This fix ends after the song “Flowers in Hair” as the Shana’s boyfriend yells, “That’s a warp.” In other, this show has just been filmed for “Unbelievable Adventures”—a primetime series using stars in unbelievable adventures. 

EIGHT FIX: JOURNEY THOUGHT TIME

In this episode, Synergy’s solar-power overloads Techrat’s time machine---getting dust all over the Misfits—forcing Eric and Techrat to run for their life—while Synergy uses her Holograms to fake a trip in time.

Though instead of Woodstock, they land as Emmett Benton just finished Synergy at Starlight Drive-In, forcing Jem to hug Emmett for building Synergy—revealing Emmett Benton was a hologram himself.  Jem thanks Synergy for the musician tour—and acts more music star-which of course allows Jem to become the Music Word History tour.
 

NINTH: VIDEO WARS

The Holograms meet up with another cousin of Video, Cassette. Cassette wants to as usual want to audio record the Holograms while Sarah (the disguised Clash) wants to film them. They is a short bus scene were Jem and the Holograms argue over which one is a Misfit fan disguised—Jem and Aja think Sarah is Clash in disguise, while Kimber and Raya think Cassette is. Cassette and Sarah both saves the life of Raya from the lion in the following screen—and one of them might become a horary Hologram. As usual, the Misfits forces Clash into action in order to become a Misfits member—but of course, Cassette has video of embarrassment from Misfits Music, a terrible song from the Misfits, “The Last Laugh” (Stormer’s first try as a Misfits song)—she sneaks into after Clash. She inputs this—surprising the Holograms, annoying Clash, & upsetting the Misfits. Clash is chewed out by the Misfits—but Jem still explains what she wants-but Clash is angry at the Holograms—and vows to pay them back.

Later at Starlight Mansion, Cassette shows up with Clash’s tape—and witch shows all of the odd weirdness that been happening. Jerrica and the rest of Holograms (Jem being play by Synergy) give Cassette an honorary membership. 

TENTH FIX: “THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED”

This fix is titled, “Outro” covering the events before an after “The Day the Music Died” It’s also is the final episodes of Jem. It’s also a three-partner. We open up with Rio, and the Holograms waiting for Jem to get done with Synergy. Rio has ants in his pants—as he wants to show something to everyone. 

Jerrica finally comes out of the Holograms to the relief of Rio and the Holograms. Jerrica turns into Jem—and Rio’s not surprised. Kimber teases Rio on the fact that he hates lairs—Rio remarks criminal lairs like Eric Raymond. 

Jerrica goes narrator events of three month—the worst meeting ever in Starlight Music’s history-thought Rio is buggy Jerrica for Jem’s true identity instead of new lights—but Jerrica is still keeping that secret update.

Riot is polite to Rio, who notices that Rio’s truck in a need of some repair—he gives Riot address—unaware that it’s two females—who Jem had assumed correctly, Riot’s follow Stingers’ members: Rapture and Minx. Jem assumed Riot’s plot to take Jem to Mexico and elope with her there—and if she didn’t said anything, Riot would use a tape record to do it for her. To kept the Holograms from worry too much, Riot also send a fake postcard in Jem’s handwriting to Starlight Music-but things went “sour quicker then bad Misfits album”

Riot was successfully in two section of his plot to kidnap Jem—keeping Rio away from the day by having Minx and Rapture ruin his truck and kidnapping Jem from the stage after Stingers’s performance of “Under My Spell”. 

The card arrived—and worried Rio takes a friend—which turns out to be Synergy, Jem’s computer—who analyzes—forcing her to shut down at the same time that Jem takes a dive into water thanks to Riot ego revealing his plan to Jem.

Jerrica and Riot washes up on the shores of empty land—Riot starts exploring the island for Jem. Jerrica starts to that she need to Riot an important fact, she’s Jem. Jerrica does it—but Riot doesn’t believe—as his huge ego blinds him to his believe that Jem is the most perfect woman in the world—but with the boat wrecked they had no way off the island. Jerrica and Riot argeed on thing—stay away from each other. 

At this time, Harvey and Pizzazz take Starlight Music—and co-op the Stingers and Holograms into a super-version of the Misfits. Angry at Pizzazz and wanting to some attention from Rio, Minx spells the beans. Using the Starlight Girls as a bugging the Misfits route as a cover, the Holograms and Stingers member escape to hunt down the missing members. 

Once on the island near Mexico were Jerrica and Riot are at. Jerrica rejoices Rio—his bad temper is a lot better then Riot’s huge ego. Rio still removes the spark plug from Minx’s boat—and leaves them—forcing Riot to make his Stingers’ female sidekicks role back to United States of America. Jerrica gets rid of the Pizzazz who had gotten enough grief from the Starlight Girls

Rio rushes Jerrica to Synergy to get Synergy to reactive Jem’s hologram—and that he shows off a surprise—he turns into an orange-hair boyfriend, Gram—to help Jerrica ‘Jem’ Benton out of problems and klept  Kimber tease Rio again about his dislikes against deceptions—in this case he’s points to Stormer’s trick from “The Fan” as the type of deception he hates. 

Jerrica had explains that Rio while the Holograms sleep on the plane from Key West, Florida to Los Angeles, California—Jerrica and Rio had a private chat about her ultra rock star disguise —but Jerrica kept Synergy out of the picture until she arrived home and got rid of the Misfits.

Their first test is a local party—Jem and Gram shock Pizzazz—Gram makes Riot look like unperfected in Pizzazz’s eye—restoring Pizzazz’s mean temper against anyone in her eyesight. 

Gram appearance as Jem’s boyfriend makes Eric Raymond sweet—as Eric was so sure that Jerrica Benton is Jem, but with Gram in the picture—that means Jerrica isn’t Jem—but when Stormer thinks Rio might be Gram—she’s fired from Stinger Sound for that. Stormer surprises Jerrica and asks if it’s offer from “The Bands Break Up” still on the table—Jerrica remarks it’s never left the table.

At this point, Gram reveals he knew Kimber never would tease on the two things that bring out his temper—a Hologram of Kimber Benton disappears from revealing Mary Phillip in her Snow’s outfit: white hair, sliver blouse, sliver skirt, and white shoes. She explains the change of her nickname from Stormer to Snow.

Angry at Stormer’s treason, Roxy reveals Zipper’s out of jail—pleasing Eric, but he can’t do anything rotten for a while—but Volanco, Zipper’s daughter is causing enough problem to talk her father green with envy. Pizzazz confronts Volanco as she hits her keyboard twice the hard Stormer did. On that spot, Pizzazz offers Stormer’s place on the keyboardist. Volanco takes it—no stings attached—and tells Zipper the deal—who’s approves it—as it gets her out of his blonde hair.

Snow is revealed to the other Holograms much to their surprise—Aja knows that means she can more serious with Craig, Snow’s brother and Aja’s boyfriend. Kimber gives her a overview of how to write a Holograms-style songs. 

Soon, at a another concert, Snow is reveal to the world—much to Misfits annoyance, who in the audience with spray paint cans—spraying the Holograms with pink paint—much to their annoyance. After the Misfits leave, Snow offers a break for the audience while the Holograms clean up—in fact to cover up, Synergy’s putting cleaner Holograms over performance members—allowing them to perform normally.

Riot reveals to his band mates that he’s getting gray hairs—and that one of the reason he’s been very interesting in Jem. Rapture groans at this bad reason, while Minx thinks it’s cute—but he will tried one last try to get Jem.

Raya remarks we getting close to the present. Jem and Gram nods—during another performance of the Holograms, the Stingers enter. Riot confronts Jem, and asked what happen when she took the drive—Jem remarks current took to a Texas beach—and it took a while to get back to the California—but she at the same time as Jerrica. Jem also explains that housewife line was a lie to get rid of Riot, but her boyfriend—and calls Gram in—who makes Riot look him weaker then Eric Raymond—and leaves this two boyfriend. The Stingers leave—but before selling their portion of Stinger Sound to Harvey Gabor—who turns it back to Misfits Music to please Pizzazz. 
 

Now if these fix were real, until just 21st person thinking how he would think fix “Jem” series, the “Jem” series would be so close to perfect that no other series would come close. But I leave you an old line, “Nothing in the world is perfect.”

By Dr. Thinker

This is going to send most Jem fan to bang their heads against the desk, but I have reason to believe that even know Jerrica Benton never told Rio that she is Jem’s secret identity, Rio knows it—and have been playing dumb for while.

You might say, I’m been writing too many fan-fiction with Rio being in the knowledge—the show itself will proof me right. 

Male Brains:

There is a lot of male brains showing their smarts in. First off, the late Emmett Benton showed his smarts by making Synergy. Even Eric Raymond, had show of some his brain power in the issue of trying to get Jem’s secret identity by hiring that private eye in “Totally Outrageous.” Lord Hawthorne showed some smarts by confronting his uncle in “Britrock”. In “KJEM”, Mr. Kite used some smarts in hiring the Misfits and getting McDuffy’s plane. On one of the most smart move on the planet is to “play dumb” for safety reasons.

Short Temper:

We know why Jerrica isn’t telling Rio about her other identity. His explosion temper about lies and deceptions—but I have reason to believe that they are short term. The first comes from “Out of The Past”, after Jerrica tells him that the tapes come from an anonymous old friend, she is repentant about an old trick she pulled by using Eric Raymond to make Eric generous that she read in Emmett’s dairy. Rio stated that he forget all about it. According to the dairy, it took Jerrica “two weeks” to thaw Rio out after this—but I believe Emmett Benton never saw Jerrica with Rio until two weeks after the events. 

The events of Christy Marx’s episode, “Glitter N’ Gold” reveals, how long an upset Rio accidently last. In this episode, Rio gets upset over Kimber mistake with two guys-just when Jerrica had give a “Rio” illusion test run with Synergy about telling Rio her other identity—and real Rio states the same line to Kimber that the illusion Rio give her. But, later, after Rio saves Jerrica from the Skulls, he states the following: “I may get mad, but I still care.” 

This believe the following scenes in “Glitter N’ Gold” occur on the following days
 
 

SCENE	DAY
Mall Scenes (Jerrica doing Starlight Music, Kimber reading about the Misfits, Rio wondering where Jem is, Kimber making dates with Jeff and Max)	Friday
Synergy Room (Jerrica’s “Rio” test)	Late Friday’ Night/Early Saturday Morning
Starlight Mansion (Jerrica’s attempt to tell Rio is ruined by Kimber’s dates, and Rio’s temper explosion.)	Saturday Night after 8:00 PM.
Diskcovery Records (Jerrica gets annoyed by “The Misfits” remarks, and becomes Jem for the first time in a long time.)	Sunday Morning
Starlight Music (“Jem and Holograms” recording their ‘Glitter N’ Gold’ album)	Sunday Afternoon
Starlight Music (Jerrica loading the Jem album into the Starlight Express)	Early Sunday Night
The Skull’s Attempted Attack on Jerrica	Late Sunday Night/Early Monday Morning

By my view of the “Glitter N’ Gold” episode, I believe that Rio temper only last one day.  Now, we know that Rio’s temper is short then we think it is. 

How? 

You must be asked how he knows.  We knows Rio is quick to presume things—first off that the Clash’s fake Jem was the real deal in “One Jem Too Many” and that Ashley was the one that damaged Jem’s equipment in “The Rock N’ Roll Express”. Even know he was proof wrong in both episode. He had a good presume after Jerrica give him a hint during the yacht party by her action after his reaction to the question, “Do you like me?” from Jem.  After the yacht party, I think Rio excused himself and went to his home—and assumed Jerrica is Jem.

This is proofed in “Broadway Music” by Rio asking a question to Jerrica—even know it’s sounds like he trying to get money for Eric Raymond—but if he didn’t know Jerrica’s true identity at this point, he would have been a quiet man, and let Jem deal with Eric’s reward for Jem’s secret identity. He was trying to find how Jerrica disguise herself. Jerrica whisper her usual phrase to active one of Synergy’s illusion, but since Rio was pretty close—he heard it. The moron actions afterword was just Rio’s “dumb act” as usual.

An earlier event happens on the way to “VTV” in “Totally Outrageous”,  Rio tries to quit on Jerrica, but if he didn’t know Jem’s true identity at this point, he would be quiet—and still work for Jem. I believe the “crush on Jem” is a fake one, played by Rio to protect Jerrica.
 

Reasons:

Why doesn’t Rio tell Jerrica that he knows she is Jem? Let’s take a look at Jerrica’s reasons for not telling anyone that she’s really Jem’s other identity.

1. Jerrica can’t reveal her identity with out revealing Synergy, the secret hologram computer. 
2. Jerrica can avoid ultra-fans of “Jem and The Holograms” while doing her Starlight Music” work.
3. Rio’s temper towards “lies and deceptions”—this is her BIGGEST REASON for not telling that she’s Jem to him.

The reason is that Rio isn’t telling Jem he knows her identity:

1. Eric Raymond’s annoying band, “The Misfits” had been cause of numerous problems for the “Holograms”. Playing dumb, allows him to protect Jerrica with out getting into her hair. 
2. Neither Jerrica nor Rio is brave enough to admit they love each other. 
3. The reaction of Jerrica “Jem” Benton after her Rio illusion test had her crying. His is the BIGGEST REASON for not telling Jerrica that he knows—he can’t tell Jerrica he knows with out accusing her of lying—and setting off Jerrica’s into one of her crying fits.
 

In the end, I hope I give you enough to move reason to think Rio knows Jerrica is Jem—and why he’s not telling this knowledge to Jerrica.

Looks take a look at some of the parallel universes that might happen to “Jem” if Hasbro went a different way. 

#1: MALE BACK-UP BAND –

OUR UNIVERSE: Originally, M was going to have a male band. Either to cover up a Mattel employee discovering of a trashed “Jem” box in Hong Kong or their own spies discovered Mattel was making a band for Barbie.  This resulted in the creation dolls og Kimber Benton, Shana Elmford, and Aja Leith. 

THE OTHER UNIVERSE: Either the person took the box back to U.S.A. or the Hong Kong meeting was call off for some reason. And Mattel was able to kept Hasbro’s spies away from its’ Barbie factories. The dolls for the Holograms end up as John, Alex and Steve. The dolls for the Misfits were fronted by Rain (a rich boy, with Thunder and Lighting (twin brothers) doing the Rain’s jobs for him. Eric Raymond in this cartoon was Rain’s lawyer. In the early potions of the movie, Jerrica was angry that John, Alex, and Steve were fired by Rain. Finding Synergy as usual, Jerrica becomes Jem and John, Alex and Steve become the Holograms.    Christy Marx got the files from Hasbro—and went to work. Thanks to the boys being on the side—Christy Marx feels safe in “the action series” and worked on the bible for the series as usual. The outcome of the studio was an equal to a two and half hour movie. This movie was so good that Hasbro decide not to cut into up into seventeen 7-mintunes episodes—and air the full movie on noon the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. The movie revealed that Jerrica is angry that Rain fired her friends. The ratings of the airing of “Jem: The Movie” was pretty good—and they O.K. the first season—and lunched the dolls. That January, Jem appeared on network. It was a successful—but the network air “Jem” usually between “My Little Pony” and “She-Ra” in the mornings or “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” in the afternoon. 

Alex was keyboardist—and was usually the reserve of the roadie/boyfriend Rio. Alex is some between Jem’s laid-back and Rio’s wariness. Steve was the drummer that act tough but had a heart of gold underneath. John was the songwriter and guitarist for the group.  The show had a good amount of action. It put a decent-size dent in “Barbie” sells—much to Mattel’s surprise.

The third season adds a new character to line-up of each band, a Mexican-American named Ray for the Holograms and an English male saxophone named Volanco to the Misfits.

Soon, the 1990s come—and Hasbro had a big worried—they had three big toys of the 1980s—in the 2000s, the Internet fans of “G.I. Joe”, “Transformers”, and “Jem” pages call  those three toy-ads series, “Hasbro’s Toy Triforce.”  Triforce referring to the three triangles of power, courage and wisdom from Nintendo’s “Zelda” series—though each fan picked a different one—the most common are the two following:

    VERSION #1

TRANSFORMERS  =  POWER
G.I. JOE   =   COURAGE
JEM     =   WISDOM
 

    VERSION #2

TRANSFORMERS  =   WISDOM
G.I. JOE   =  POWER
JEM    =   COURAGE

Most fans in this universe’s present day think Version #2 is the best.  Hasbro decide to least the another Jem into theaters. Christy Marx was given three rules: for the movie

1. PUT ERIC RAYMOND IN JAIL!
2. HAVE JERRICA/JEM FILL RIO IN 
3. TWELWE SONGS -- ALL NEW! 

The movie storyline’s focus on Rio discover of Synergy, Jem’s hologram computer—meanwhile Eric is plotting to use a false truce to uncover Jem’s identity—but surprising the tired of Eric’s bossing them around like “villains from a 1980s cartoon show”, Misfits make a real truce with Jem—much to Eric’s annoyance.

The critics’ reviews were so-so on Jem movie—but it pleased the crowd. The next movie to come out was “G.I.”—which killed off Duke. It got a third season form DIC—but it didn’t last long.  The next movie come along was “Transformers”—which dealt with Unicorn and Primus fight—creating their own Transformers. Optimus Prime is stuck inside Megatron--who is stuck inside Unicorn--for the entire movie. The movie ends will four Transformers sides: Autobots (lead by Optimus Prime), Decepticons (lead by Megatron), the Cornicons (lead by Galavatron [nee Starscream] and The Primabots (lead by Merge [nee Arcee]. The Transformers lasted two more seasons.  Jem had two more seasons—the most common foe for them is Clash, a Misfit fan-boy.
 

#2 – TWO MORE BANDS IN THE MIX

OUR UNIVERSE: Hasbro had a problem. Jem’s doll line is doom unless they change the doll line-up. Hasbro come up with “The Stingers”, a heavy rock group lead by ego-manic Riot. Soon, the Jem toy line and show was canned by Hasbro. 

T.M.B.I.T.M UNIVERSE: Hasbro decide to but Jem on hiatus after the final episode of Season 2. Mattel laughed at them—and unleashed a full page ad in “Vanity Fair”—“The Victor Is: Barbie!” For one full year, Hasbro was a laughing stock in the girl’s market—though “The Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” were doing fine. A Hasbro employee came up with an idea of making two new bands. One was a female “hip-hop” group, which will be added to Starlight Music—and will be helpful to the Holograms. The other was a heavy metal band lead by a egoistic male—but after while—the egoistic male—was turned into the daughter of Zipper, a old foe of the Holograms—who created her band as a way of  attempting to kill the Holograms. 

In 1989, Jem reappeared in toy stores. With the invention of CD players and CDs, Hasbro make Jem a little cheaper. Synergy got two versions—one was her doll from earlier and one was playset that was a working CD player. Added to the mix was the two band, the hip-hop musicians, “The Party” lead by “Life”—and the heavy metal musicians, “The Gangsters” lead by Volanco. 

The third season opened up with the Five Partner which Eric buys Misfit Music away from Harvey Gabor. The Misfits upset with this quite---Eric finds “The Gangsters”—and decides to use a new version of Techrat’s “time machine” to travel back in time and replace the original “Misfits” with “The Gangsters”. This results in a change universe. Eric in control of Starlight Music—and Raya still lives with her father. With help of an outer-space alien, the Misfit nicknamed Stormer, and a futurist government agent saves Synergy from Zipper’s gang. Synergy has been bouncing back and forth between the time-lines—the old one in which Jem win against the Misfits—and the new one in which the Gangsters killed Jem. Life goes back in time with the alien and the government agent work events in Jem’s favor. After saving the Holograms, Stormer goes back in time—to just after Eric hired the Misfits in the first place and remarked a familiar: “You won’t be able to work in this town again—if you drop the Misfits!”

Failing to change time, Eric gets a brave idea—he adds the “Gangsters” to the Gangster Records—keeping the Misfits on as a balance act. The future agent tells “Life” to collect a few pals of her own—thought in audience find that the future agent is the decent of “Life”.  “Life” creates her own band to protect Jem from both “Gangsters” and “Misfits”

Jem had a good third season—but it was still the last one air. 

#3 – DIFFERENT MOVIE ORDER

OUR UNIVERSE: Hasbro released “My Little Pony” and “Transformers” into the theaters in 1980s-but the resulting flop of “Transformers”-put the “G.I. Joes” movie on VHS—and canning the “Jem” movie.

D.M.O’S UNIVERSE: 

Hasbro had four big toy/cartoon series in 1986, “My Little Pony”, “Jem”, “G.I. Joe”
 and “Transformers”. Their first movie in the spring time of 1986 was “My Little Pony”—the critic didn’t give that movie a fair shake—but the parents of little girls helped make decent—but Hasbro was just getting WARM UP. 
The next movie was animated “Jem” movie. The movie forced on twin rock stars with metal powers. The results of the movies had a lot of changes for Holograms—the biggest changes from having Stormer leaving the Misfits and joining the Holograms, and Rio revealing that he’s been playing dumb since Jem asked that question on the yacht. This was really a male writer upset with Christy Marx using Rio’s temper as a way to explain why Jem could spill the beans—and he got the explain scene—and since it contained no Holograms other then Jem program—it wasn’t saw by Christy Marx until the movie’s release. Christy checked the scenes in which Synergy’s holograms that weren’t Jem program at all were placed correctly and acted logical—she didn’t check the reveal portion didn’t because the only hologram in the reveal was the Jem program. Bad news for Christy—this critics and the fans love this reveal scene and assumed that she did it—and it wasn’t until 2007 that Marv Wolfman he had written it—he got angry at not getting of his second ‘Jem’ story from Rio’s point of view—but the holograms in the climax of this episode broke the rules Christy placed forth—that it was canned. When Rio put the episodes out on DVD—this script was a DVD-Rom extra.

When the fourth season comes up, Christy come up with—by revealing Rio were twins, when Jerrica trips over one of Rio’s tombstone on the way to pay respect to late Emmett Benton. We learn that Rio were perfect goody-two-shoes twins—until a Rio died. The one that dead asked to accuse Jerrica of lying to her about Jem’s identity—but it turns out the other Rio couldn’t get chance—Jerrica was pretty busy with the Fifth Avenue Boys.  Lucky, Shana told Rio to vacuum the second den. This Rio found Synergy and asked what happen if Jem told HIM that he was Rio. This Rio has no problems with people lying to him—and Synergy shows him and Jem kissing. Rio knowing that Misfits have been a pain-the-neck for the Holograms—told her to add a rule to her program: “For protection of herself, if Jerrica or Jem asked for a test illusion of Rio—make an upset Rio!” 

She had a good laugh at herself—and recalled that she saw a birthmark on Rio and not the on the other. Both Rio know audio systems like the back of their hands, but the Rio had that a crush on Jem was the one that died—but Jem and Rio decide to kept this information away from the other Holograms for a while—thought midway though the fourth season—they learn Rio was not the original Rio that they kept Jem’s secret from.

The final episode was aliens discovering Synergy in the future—and going back to time to prevent accidently expose from one of the biggest plots Eric Raymond ever pull. In the new change future, Synergy reveals that even since final Benton passed away a few centuries—she had been giving Jem Star earrings to other aliens that reminded her of Jem—but the latest one died as she was returning the Jem Star earrings. The aliens decides to take Synergy with them—and become the latest version of “Jem and the Holograms” 

The next movie release was “G.I. Joe”. G.I Joe dealt with Cobra-La—and Duke died. Not one person made a big fat fuss about Duke’s death—but most G.I. Joe fans took it well. The next movie was “Transformers” and dealt with the mysterious arrival of Unicron—the vile eating-planet transformer.  Prime is in a comma for much of the movie—but comes out of it just after the Autobots defeat Galavatron and Unicron. Not much change for the Autobots—but a lot for the Decepticons during the Transformers’ fourth and final season.

They are more universes then you can shake a microphone phone—in some universe, Jem failed and in others—she was an outrageous success.  If you want to add more your idea to possible universe dealing with Jem, e-mail at docmailster@gmail.com or docpoke@yahoo.com.
