showtime, synergy

this is what jerrica says when she wants to change to jem.

i'm halfway through disc 1 of season 3. this is the season things change.

shana gets an opportunity to design clothes for a movie, so the holograms hold a contest to find a new drummer. not to be outdone, the misfits pick up a suitibly tough british chick too.
so the contest is held, there's a line around the block, full of awful drummers. and the finalists are held and they include Aja's love interest (who happens to be stormer's, of the misfits, brother) and the obvious favorite the hispanic girl with pink hair who has self esteem issues, Raya. at the party 3 of the finalists turn out to be mean and jem kicks them out immediately and the final contest is to play onstage with the holograms and the audience votes. Just before the winner is announced Aja's love interest backs out because he has to leave town to clear his head from the fact that his beloved sister is part of the misfits who had Raya's dad's greenhouse smashed to pieces. Of course he can't leave before threatening Eric Raymond with his life if he hurts Stormer (mary) and if he doesn't pay for all the damages to the greenhouse. Of course, Raya is about to say she doesn't deserve to play with Jem if she's not the real winner, because she's lame. but of course, it's revealed that she did win. Meanwhile, Shana decides that costuming isn't for her, and comes back to the Holograms. Raya, being obnoxiously lacking in self esteem runs home to her daddy (who pushed her into the contest to begin with). But the holograms are quick to follow and decide there can be 5 Holograms and hasbro has some nice new dolls to add to the line.

I don't like this new Raya girl. She's way too weak, but i guess that's they way little hispanic girls are, and they want that mirrored on tv? I really hope she learns her lesson soon, but i'm not holding my breath, 2 episodes later she's just as weak, yet a good drummer. If jem is supposed to be full of strong role models for girls, i don't know what the hell Raya is. I guess she's the viewer who recieves help from Jem... Bleh, I say.

I'll finish the discs over the weekend. and will update accordingly
