A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

TRICK OR TREAT: The brilliant comic bit with Danielle's Halloween costume on the decidedly reinvigorated (courtesy not only of Marcia Cross' full-time return, but the perpetual awesomeness of Nathan Fillion) Desperate Housewives reminded me of the one indisputably perfect subplot on the Halloween episode of My So-Called Life. Sure, much of the episode is one of the show's ventures into magical realism, with the kids finding an actual ghost of a prior outcast, but it's the subplot with Angela's little sister dressing as her fondest fantasy/heroine--Angela--that still works and allows us insight into both characters. (See also the mirror syndrome patient on House last week.)
