Yes. What a desperate and transparent plan to bring the untapped hordes of F&G, PD, and Wire fans to Community. Martin Starr and Michael K. Williams are clearly stunt casting to bring in new viewers and boost ratings.

All-Stars
Did anyone else hear Nigel say "a new batch of All Stars" next week?

I wonder if this was, at least a little, because people had seen him at the crime scene too. We don't know what Mike said on the phone.

I think he's a judge on America's Best Dance Crew

All-Stars!
So glad Kathryn, Allison, Pasha, and Twitch are back. I'm excited to see Brandon and Robert, too!

Melanie is adorable. I just re-watched her dance and there was this moment (before the kiss) where she traces a smile while hugging Marko from behind… just lovely.

Missed Opportunity
I am hoping SO much that they find some excuse tonight to get Cat and Kristin to stand next to each other.

As soon as she came out last night I said "I just hate her face"

I'd have liked to seen Nick stick around to see what he could do, but I'm glad they kept Rikcy after seeing his solo. But wow was I bummed they didn't take this change to cull the herd of contemo girls.

Seen him twice. Disagree muchly.

It must have been season 4:

Cat Deeley
…is a champ. Way to handle that mess at the end. I also appreciate the Somber Straight Hair of Elimination Night.

Unimportant casting spoiler….

If it helps dis-ambiguify the California White Boys…

I think PH was a network-mandated guest appearance.

The most excited I've been through all these auditions is seeing Will, Katee, Joshua, Twitch, Brandon, Jakob, and Jeanine (these last two are apparently BFFs) in the audience and on stage. I guess it's a smart move for them to take focus off the all-stars until later in the season.

I think that in the extended pilot the other magician says "Fuck you, traitor" or something like that.

I fell in like when I watched the pilot and then I fell in love when Gob, in an act of defiance, dramatically hurled the letter into the sea.
