Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Trivia: Apparently, restraining orders still exist in this futuristic world. Edit
- As they were seated on top of the train, Jack's hat and Josephine's parasol should have created so much drag force from the speed of train that the items should have flown away. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- (Clench's blasting revolvers at Jack) Josephine: Dangnabbit! Can't you shoot straight? Ezekiel: Don't get uppity, woman. I don't see you makin' no daylight in his broadside. Edit
- Zeke: Dangburnit', Josie! You consarn', framalandin', flamdanglin', grass-snake-in-sheep's-wool-over-my-eyes, trick-up-her-sleeve, whoo-hoo witchy woman! Edit
- Josephine: He's better than you! Zeke: Ain't no man better than me. You know that. Besides, the court says you ain't supposed to come within 150 feet of me, so back off! Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Title The title and the episode are based on the famous Western movie Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, known in America as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966), with Clint Eastwood. Edit
- Josephine During the climax battle, Josephine refers to herself as a "mancatcher," which is sort of what her altered parasol is. A mancatcher was a rare medieval weapon that a soldier could use to restrain a foe without killing him; some had a cresent-shaped head and were thrusting weapons used to force a foe to the ground; others, like Josephine's bladed parasol head, required a pulling stroke, used either to force a horseman off his mount, or restrain a footman in the way Josephine attempted. Each variety had hooks of some sort on the business end and nastier ones - like Josephine's - had bladed hooks or barbs. Edit
- Background Music In the beginning of the episode, when Jack enters the bar, the background music suggests that of Clint Eastwood's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. This is ironic, because like Eastwood's character in that film, Jack is also sort of a "Man With No Name": his real name isn't Jack, and we have never learned what it really is. Edit
