Twittery: An Afternoon Comment Diversion

So, Damon Lindelof still thinks he’s funny and he still thinks he can get away with that jackass “Lost” ending, but I’ll tell you what Mister: YOU WON’T. (I wonder if I’ll ever get over this?) Anyway, he also seems to think he’s clever enough to summarize “Lost” in 140 characters:

Dude, not even close. It does explain the simple-mindedness of your show idea though; take a basic plot, stretch it out over six seasons with filler questions and mysteries you’ll never answer and at the end, say the characters were the important part. I’m not on twitter, I don’t twit, tweet; I try not to be a twat. Still, I like the challenge of trying to capture a show in 140 characters well enough, so why not?

Here’s mine: People are people, some cylons are too…but not Starbuck. It has happened before and will again; don’t build robots. #BGINONETWEET

Your turn. Sum up your favorite television series twitter-style.

"Firefly": "Misfit space c"

Crap, after I started typing, Fox only gave me 14 characters instead of 140.

If I weren't already married, SLW, I would find you and drag you to Las Vegas and make you my captive husband.

Buffy staked and diddled vamps, Xander was everyman, Willow went bad, Dawn didn't exist and everyone wanted Giles. RIP Joyce. Angelous>Spike

Buffy spinoff: Boreanaz improves, Cordy still awesome, puppet Angel, badass Wesley, ghost Spike, we don't talk about season 4. #AngelInOneTweet

I wish I could've gotten in Phantom Dennis.

(P.S. TWoP_fan-you'd have 140 if you'd spelled Angelus correctly!)

(P.P.S. Jerce, I will TOTALLY fight you for SLW.)
