Things I have learned about Jem

Netflix recently added the first season of Jem to their Instant list. I've been marathoning it for a little over a week. I've learned quite a few things about my favorite childhood show.

~Kimber is contractually obligated to say 'out-RAY-geous' at least twice an episode, and always when the situation is not in any way 'outrageous'.
~Rio is either a moron, a douchbag, or a perv. Perhaps all three.
~Stormy is my favorite character, therefore she has the least lines and screen time. When she does it's usually saying 'Yeah!' or 'YEAH!'.
~By about half-way through the season I honestly felt sorry for the Misfit's manager, Eric Raymond. Yeah he's an ass, but if I had to tolerate the shit he went through then I'd be an ass too.
~Synergy needs to tell Jerrica/Jem to STFU and deal with her own problems. She then needs to get herself installed on the Normandy so EDI can have a playmate.
~Who the hell is watching the Starlight Girls while the band is having all those wacky adventures?
~For that matter, where is all of Jem's money going? Clearly it's not to Starlight House. I think she's coking it up.
~Shana's clothing designs are crap, even for the 80's. Thank goodness the doll clothes were done first, then put into the show. Also, I'd give my metaphorical left nut for an NRFB Stormer doll.
~I'd pay real money to see a Jem/Pazzazz full-on girl fight.

Netflix needs to hurry up and get the last two seasons, although I'm betting this is just a ploy to get people to buy the DVD set. I'm tempted, but $60 is too much for something I'd only watch once.

Before my grandmother moved in with us, she had a NRFB Stormer doll. I'm not sure what happened to those dolls. (She had quite a few of them.) I was too young to care about collectible dolls.

PLEASE let me know if you ever find it. It's not so much about having a doll in the box, it's the joy of taking it out and playing with it for the first time.

Mom never let me get anything other than Barbie, and even then I had to beg and plead. Jem was completely off limits.
