A Cartoonish Life

Last time on "Jem," Emmett Benton died and left his daughter Jerrica a house that's falling apart and half the family business; Eric Raymond made himself plenty comfortable at Starlight Music; the Misfits came and acted like the fabulous bitches they are, and pissed Jerrica off; Jerrica got a pair of earrings; pair of earrings ended up being remote controls for a hologram machine; Jerrica disguised herself as a fancy-schmancy pink-haired singer named Jem and crashed the Battle of the Bands with her friends and lil' sister; Eric challenged Jerrica to a contest; the Misfits nearly ran Jem and the Holograms off the road; Jerrica saved the day with a hologram, but Rio was the one who pulled the girls to safety; Eric hired a thug to break into Jerrica's foster home; Jerrica cockblocked Rio; there was a FIRE!!!

Was that it? I hope that was it.

Episode Two on the DVD opens with that "me and my girls are Jem-girls" theme that I HAAAATE.


Ah. Much better. I just try to convince myself that they didn't make a new Jem theme.

The show actually opens with a quickie recap of what happened last episode. (I just DID a quickie recap! *le sigh*) Starlight House is still burning, and Jerrica and the gang are quickly trying to get the Starlight Girls out of the house. Great. Just great. Not only did she inherit a house that was pretty much falling apart, now it caught fire and THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING! Could things get any worse for Jerrica now? ( Read more... )

(I should warn you guys. I have a very subversive sense of humor. That, and in these recaps, Rio's generally going to be a typical red-blooded horn-dog male in his early 20s who can't control his raging manhood.)

Castles! Flying carpets! Rainbows! Unicorns! Sunken treasure! Dancing in the clouds! Shirtless Rio! This is the stuff a six-year-old girl dreams about!

HEY JERRICA, NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO TELL RIO THAT YOU'RE REALLY JEM, HUH?! Ya think?! ( Read more... )

STAY TUNED FOR EPISODE THREE--"KIMBER'S REBELLION"!

And to wrap up this recap....I give you "Rio" by Duran Duran. Because of the yacht party scene.



(BTW, before I close, I must mention that all screencaps for this and for the previous recap are from here. Gotta give credit where credit's due, yo)
