Community shows us the horrors of an American Inspector Spacetime

Last night Community set an entire episode around an Inspector Spacetime Convention. It was pretty fantastic. The costumes were spot on, the booths were perfection, and there were plenty of sly little one-liners thrown around: “Normally we don’t concern ourselves with adultery because then hotels wouldn’t exist.” It almost felt like old Community again! But…

Lost Jack Kirby storyboards show the insane world that could have been Argo
