Wow, here we are, the rising of the eyeball sun. May it’s stellar gaze never set.

Ocular solar objects aside, this is a momentous occasion for us here at Jem Girls because we are officially discussing our FAVOURITE episode of Jem and the Holograms, “Alone Again.”

Taking joy out of a young girl’s descent into abusing meethamphetamines and hallucinogenics may sound a little, well, disturbing (and it is!) but, truly, this episode is a low-key masterpiece.

A big part of that is the presence of the only competent and truly evil villain we’ve ever seen in the Jemisphere, Bobby Brown, who makes it his mission in life to destroy the lives of adolescent women. He’s probably some sort of hell-spawn feeding off of drug-induced-despair, but that only makes Bobby B all the more interesting.

And did we mention there’s a freaking eyeball sun? Perhaps the purest form of the Lord of Eyeballs us mortals will ever witness, so that really seals the deal for us Jem Girls.

Better yet, it’s our one year Jemmiversary episode, so happy 365 days of nonsense to us!
