MiniCap: Desperate Housewives – Twitter Edition!


What if the characters of Desperate Housewives had Twitter?  Would every status update from Lynette be about a fight with Tom (Answer:  YES)?  Would Susan tweet about everyday crap that no one cares about (Answer:  YES)?  Would Hypnotoad be so tired that he didn’t really care if he followed the 140 or less characters rule (Answer:  HELL YES)?  And so, without further ado, I present a MiniCap of last night’s Desperate Housewives:  The Twitter Edition!*

*Again, if you want a standard minicap — what are you, a communist? — let me know and I’ll put it in the comments!

    Nice recap, Hypnotoad! It pretty much encapsulates the surface writing doing on here. First Tom is a marketing executive, then he’s offered a CFO job. Now he’s closing multi-million dollar deals. What a talented man he is! Able to shift careers from marketing to finance to sales. Lynette needs to stop bitching and sit back and enjoy.

    Awesome! The funniest yet.
    I found out today that Celia at least once said something. It was “Sperm!” http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0147107/quotes

    Thanks guys! It was so much fun to plan, but holy crap, it took so long to do the screengrabs and post them. Even longer than the crossword puzzle. But it was all worth it!! Worth it, I say!!!!!

    That said, I’m running low on creative ideas, people. So, maybe I’ll do a regular minicap next week and try to think of something special for the last two episodes (both on one night — for the finale).

    Mila — I remember that! Season 5 or 6, I think. This poor little girl’s only word on TV was “sperm.” Sad.

    Me want cake.

    OK, that was awesomesauce.
    But seriously? I am so OVER Lynette….WHY WHY WHY WHY do they keep writing her having the same hateful reactions to Tom’s success, Tom’s decisions, Tom’s opinions……BLAH. I know they tried to pull that explanation crap in one episode about how Tom lets her do it, but this shit needs to stop. And they are totally wasting Felicity’s talents.
    Wow, I am a lot angrier about this than I thought, bwaahaahaa.

    MeWantCake? Yep, still dead. Oh jeez. I love this type of minicap. They should do the show in twitter. It’d be awesome! Sounds like it was a standard episode… Little bit of Renee, Lynette and Tom fighting, Susan hijinks, and all the other stuff.

    Hypnotoad, I laughed so hard reading this that my coworkers thought I was going to die from loss of oxygen. Best recap EVER in the history of EVER.

    Thanks, you guys! It was fun to do. A forewarning, though — next week may be a boring old regular minicap.
