- Terry Funk deserved a substantial final fight instead of appearing dead offscreen. A Keith David–John Doe bartender fight is another missed opportunity.
- Dalton's $5,000 upfront, $500 nightly and covered medical expenses produce a very lucrative cash job; the hosts speculate that he reports little of it and compare its purchasing power with a modern salary.
- The owner does not negotiate Dalton's rate. Dalton and Jimmy should seek equity rather than wages; Jimmy's long-term ambitions are unclear.
- Tinker apparently switches sides after surviving the bear attack rather than being arrested; one defense treats him as a likable, useful teammate. Red carrying shotguns past arriving police adds to the absurdity.
- Healey's character might be better off working in a safer city rather than enduring abuse at a dangerous bar.
- Dalton could afford better lodging than the hot barn. After the fire and throat-rip fight, his immediately clean clothes and lack of trauma make the next daytime scene feel out of order.
- The standing sex against a stone wall seems implausibly aggressive for a second date; Lynch reportedly needed back padding. Open curtains also let Wesley watch across the lake.
- Steve appears instantly dressed without visible arousal after interrupted sex, a framing complaint rather than a request for nudity; his claim to be on break draws sympathy.
- Red and the doctor seem implausible relatives, prompting an unnamed possible category about unconvincing family connections, compared with Beautiful Girls.
