I have not seen this episode, but I think this would be a much better show if the Aliens had picked up all their mannerisms from TV shows. They could thing that Reality Shows were accurate depictions of how everyone lived. As it is, it's just incredibly muddled where they got their random ideas about humans from and

Jax banning Nero from seeing Gemma is such a clumsy way to give her more to be angry about. Anyone, even someone as dumb as Jax, would know that would cause more problems than it was worth.

Maybe the NBA players just couldn't deliver the dialogue well, but I thought that the mixtape thing was a rehearsed game they were running. It seemed more as though they were doing him a favor than that they actually liked him.

In Season 3 or 4, it's pointed out that Barney has a success rate of about 1%  or less than the career batting average of one-handed pitcher Jim Abbott.

I just don't understand why they brought Victoria back (the second time; I liked it when she showed up at the Architect's Ball) if she's just going to fill the Girlfriend of the Week (or month) role. She's done nothing to connect her back to the character she was in season 1. And there's been no indication from Ted

I guess they're not going to address that Ted is still living in Quinn's apartment while she presumably has nowhere to live.

According to the season premiere, the mother has most likely brought her guitar to the wedding which would seem like a very odd thing for a guest to do.

Gabe worked for SABRE and they sold Dunder-Mifflin at the end of last season. I am surprised he wasn't brought back as Even More Special Projects Coordinator or something, though.

The Andy story was too dumb. Couldn't he just ask Nellie how he was related to Michelle Obama? There are many other possibilities (which even Oscar didn't seem to understand).

I think this was their best episode in awhile and it notably came with an absence of Anne and the marginalization of Chris. Both characters have had very little to do for a long time and have been shoehorned in to the detriment of the show.
