First you have the cast of The Office in unbelievable Halloween costumes: Dwight, Creed and Kevin were all Heath Ledger’s Joker, Andy was very committed to Cats, Phyllis was adorable as Raggedy Ann and poor Pam was stuck at corporate in a Charlie Chaplin get-up that could also evoke Hitler! That was just the open! The best story of the episode was the passive-aggressive battle for Angela’s love that pits Dwight against Andy. I love that this storyline is a study in character continuity. These characters haven’t liked each other since the day they met, and Angela is just one more reason, really. It’s a triumph of good writing.
