the show's really over, synergy

all of jem has been sent back now. this made me sad, so i did something about it. even though i was drinking last night, i was completely sober when i purchased a 4 cd set of the songs from the jem show from ebay. it's not a legitimate cd, but the feedback is very positive and they're happy with the quality. i guess next week, i'll have a review of the cds. if anyone wants a copy, let me know!

I downloaded a real audio file last night of 20 mins of jem songs, the quality was not good, but the songs make me happy, much the way the babysitters club songs make me happy.. in fact, there's even a dear diary song, like the bsc. and something about some of the background intro music on the show reminds me of the bsc too.

disc 3 of season 3 part 1 is not nearly as good as the first 2.

KJEM: some college kids get starlight music to sponsor a radio station, of course the competitor is eric raymond. he hires someone who steals the airwaves and broadcasts the misfits concert. college kids learn the value of hard work and fighting for their cause, and everything works out in the end.

The Presidential Dilema: the holograms are invited to play at the kennedy center for the president. but they have to beef up security and synergy can't get her holograms to work. so they have to pack her up and ship her to the kennedy center. but the security catches them, and think's it's dangerous technology. so they cart it off to the cia or whatever and they can't make heads or tails of it. meanwhile, the president (who looks remarkably unlike any president i can think of) is kidnapped by the masked marauder, who has been stealing historical artifacts and wants a president to add to his collection. so jerrica grabs onto the back of hte truck and gets taken to the secret lair. they get backed into a corner so synergy conjures abe lincoln and some other guys to freak the guy out and give up. she then has to explain synergy to the president (the only person to know about her besides the band, and the only male to know) and he keeps her secret, gives her back synergy from teh cia and promises if she comes back to dc, synergy can go anywhere with her.

Rock 'n Roll Express: friends to all, the holograms decide to do a tour of rural areas, by train, and donate the procedes to a literacy chairty. so the misfits sabotage the train, and unrelatedly, a robber, just released from prison tries to steal the chairty money. because they haven't invented banks, and jem carries all the proceeds from her shows in cash. they almost die of course, because the brake breaks. but they don't. the robber is caught and it all works out, except for roxy, who is still illiterate. this is a very unsatisfying character trait. it's mentioned 2x in season 3, but there's never any resolution. she would like to read, but never decides to learn. i guess, now, 20 years later i can find and old roxy doll, and sit her next to the librarian action figure, maybe she can learn to read now.

i have no grand summary, there's nothing to say. i need more jem.
