- [...] who apparently still was the prima ballerina in her own timeline.
Did I miss this? I don't recall anyone mentioning that Emily was still prima ballerina in that dimension. Also, it's established that the point of divergence was the comet, so past events are all identical.

There is a hint for Em indeed being the prima ballerina in last timeline:
Mike at 1:12:25: "So, Em, is Katherine Meriss gonna understudy your life while you're gone for a month?"
It implies that Em is having the role and her rival Katherine was coming in second - and might no take a stab at being first. And yes, it refutes the idea of the timelines being the same before the comet. But that idea already went out of the window when Laurie and Mike don't recognize each other in first timeline. He thinks she is a yoga teacher and she has never seen him starring in her favorite show. This implies Laurie and Amir, who arrived late, are already from a different reality with a different past. The movie is quite fuzzy about its logic here.
For "As You Know", I think Hugh is doing a Borat impression when he says, "Hello, my wife". It may still be an As You Know (because it's clearly there just for exposition) but he definitely does the Borat "my wife" joke.
