Talk:Jem

Untitled

Given Detour's and anon's latest additions to this page, I need to ask something what we have to do with this page in relation to TF fiction and the Jem franchise. Currently, this page is about the in-fiction fiction (or in-fiction reality? What's to say Jem the sign isn't an advert for an in-fiction real person?). What about the franchise Jem? There's about four arguments (Ramirez, AA2, models in "B.O.T.", SG Misfits) for a page about the franchise to be created, but I wouldn't know if that information should be incorporated in this article or made into a separate page.

Going by the precedent of the Doctor and such, the Notes section is where it'd be at, no? --Detour 02:11, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Actually, I think Doctor Who deserves an own page as well, as the Doctor article does not cover a number of Doctor Who references in TF fiction and isn't suited for those either (the line from "Rebirth" about reversing polarities, some stuff from the TAAs, the Dalek altmode of Octus, etc.). Geewunling 02:18, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Octus's altmode is covered in the Dalek article. --Detour 02:20, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Leo Spitz mentions Doctor Who on TheRealEffingDeal.com, but I don't know if mentions of things on that blog count as canon for the purposes of this wiki. I mean, he links to a lot of random non-TF related stuff on there. --abates 03:03, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Mentions of Barack Obama on RealEffingDeal have made it to his article, so I see no reason why REfD's Doctor Who mentions couldn't be on Doctor's article. --Detour 16:29, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

That's really a Jem cameo in a Japanese Transformers cartoon? How'd it get there? Is it from the same animation studio? - Starfield 11:31, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, Toei animated several episodes of Jem as well as Super-God Masterforce, so it was probably just an in-joke. Also, one thing to consider everyone, is that Masterforce takes place, what, 25-30 years after the original Jem series happened in the 80s? I guess Jem's had some work done if she still looks like that in 2015. --DrSpengler 12:25, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

To be a total geek I have to point out that you're wrong. Jem's appearance was always a holographic projection by Synergy. She could totally look the same in 2015 with no issues at all. Holograms beat surgery anyday.--76.28.76.206 12:43, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Or it could be a "True Hollywood Story" or "I Love the 80s" type thing. But seriously, we need some way to handle this page (and the Inhumanoids page) that allows us to present fictional world and real world material where each is relevant. Currently the Inhumanoids starts out as a real world page and then goes on to have fiction sections, it seems rather confusing. --Khajidha 16:00, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

It's not the only retro poster in Masterforce. It really is interesting how it could go either way. Jem could be a "real" character, like Madonna presumably is, or the cartoon continuity could have a fictional TV show called "Jem" just like the real world. If you ask me, any continuity that had the American TV show "Jem" would also have the toy company "Hasbro" behind it that makes toys of it, and any continuity that has the toy company "Hasbro" would also have a line of transforming toy Transformers with accompanying cartoon transforming Transformers. It would be too much of a coincidence if the continuity that has toy Autobots and Decepticons would also have real Autobots and Decepticons. Therefore, "Jem" is not a fictional TV show, but a "real" character. But I may be overthinking it. - Starfield 19:30, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

Jem is Jerrica Benton!

Why does she have 2 pages on here Jerrica Benton is Jem so they should be one page. Darth Gonzo 12:12 PM, 27 July 2016 (CDT)

Tis page is about the show, not the character. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 13:20, 27 July 2016 (EDT)

If the Jem article is about the show and toy line it should be named Jem and the Holograms and not just Jem to make it less confusing. Darth Gonzo (talk) 12:26, 27 July 2016 (CDT)
