Talk:Halloween (The Office)

message: I'd like others opinions on this. I think the costumes the staffers wear in this episode are symbolic of their characters and would like to add this to the trivia section. Consider the following:
Two-Headed Michael: He fights within himself wheather to be a stern boss and a friendly, laidback boss everybody likes (this can be backed up in "The Carpet" episode where Michael describes his old boss Ed Truck and how he was humorless and by-the-book and how Michael decided - if he ever became boss - to be the exact opposite.)
Kelly as Dorothy': She lives idly on the lives of celebrities, a fantasy.
Creed as a vampire': He's very old.
Devon as a hobo: The most obvious; he becomes unemployed in this episode.
Kevin as a superhero: He's the opposite of every characteristic that defines a superhero, most notably his physique.
Oscar in drag: He's a closeted homosexual
Three Hole Punch Jim (This one is the most trite, bare with me): the three holes are the three holes in Jim's life, namely not being in a loving relationship, a career, and.....I can't consider another.
Stanley and Ryan don't wear costumes. Ryan doesn't want to be part of the office's traditions and Stanley feels work should be about work.
All the others wear generic cat costumes. I can't really point anything to those.

replies: text: Although they're interesting, all those are POV theories that are really for a forum or online community rather than an encyclopedia article. (People could argue that Creed is a vampire not because he's old but because he's steals things like vampire's steal blood). The fact that you can't point to the cat costumes shows that these are flawed opinions rather than observational facts. Williamnilly 05:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:TheOffice(US)2-05.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:TheOffice(US)2-05.jpg

message: In the production section it is stated that Devon's future appearance in Valentines Day is considered non canon, but the main article for the office states that deleted scenes are considered part of the story line. If that's accurate then the disclaimer should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.245.97 (talk) 01:41, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Deleted scenes aren't considered canon to the story line, but as the main article states, the producers and the actors feel that for them, those scenes are a part of the story.  But officially, they are non-canon. Mastrchf (t/c) 01:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
