* Every time the Gang needs Cricket, they just know exactly where to find him, even though he lives on the street and is always in a different spot. Charlie eventually accidentally reveals that they implanted a GPS tracker into Cricket without his knowledge. They just need to check their phones to see his location.

* During the entire series, Charlie is only seen behind the wheel of a car once, and during that instance (in "The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre") Mac comments that it's been a long time since Charlie has driven a car. Not much else is made of it, but Charlie lacking a valid driver's license would make perfect sense-- it'd be pretty hard for someone who's nigh-illiterate to study for a driving test, and it would also impair his ability to read road signs and street names. He's also terrified of leaving the city (at this point in the series), so he never needs to travel long distances by himself.

** In “Frank vs Russia”, he projects to lampshaded creepy levels that all men have a childhood relationship with their mother where she makes him feel powerful (like, say, a golden god) but powerless and dependent at the same time, and he’ll crave her approval for the rest of his life. While the implications of that are not great on their own, it’s pretty likely that Ms Klinsky reminded him of Barbara.

** Another implication is that the profile was modelled after Dee herself, and the women being murdered were targeted because of their resemblance to Dee and Gary was using them as stand-ins. In which case, the gang discovering his secret definitely saved her life as it would only be a matter of time before he finally moved on to his actual target.

* After Country Mac's death in "Mac Day," none of his closer relatives show up to claim the body, and it's up to Mac and The Gang to handle the funeral. It's entirely possible that the reason he came to Philly in the first place is that he was disowned by his family for being gay and had to leave his home.

home. Considering not only Mac's own internalised homophobia but the fact he's later rejected by his father when he comes out, the larger [=McDonald=] family appear to have horrible issues with homophobia, which would tie in with this.

* In "The Gang Solves North Korea", Charlie and Dennis both briefly compete for a girl who is revealed to be only 12 years old. Charlie falling for her is largely due to a combination of his own immaturity and the girl being YoungerThanSheLooks, but Dennis' attraction makes disturbing sense when you consider the running joke about him having a tendency to date barely legal women, and only seems to draw the line at 18 because of the law. While he didn't realise her age consciously, his attraction is uncomfortably in-character.

** Also, Dennis has the worst symptoms of the Gang. Aside from being the first to be quarantined, it doesn't make sense... until you remember that Dennis frequently skips meals and has multiple vitamin deficiencies, anemia, low blood presure and more. His body is barely functioning on a good day - it's a miracle the withdrawl didn't kill him.

* In "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," Charlie suggests that the gang count how much gas is going into every car in order to measure how much gas they're selling total, and Dennis mocks him for it: "How exactly are you planning on counting a liquid?" However, the Gang are at least nominally bartenders, and bartenders measure the amount of liquor they're free-pouring into a glass by counting, one number for every half-ounce.

* From what we know about their childhood; Dennis and Dee clearly needed psychiatric help from an early age. Aside from carelessness and apathy; it is possible that Frank did not get them help because he didn't want them to get shanghaied to a nitwit school they same way that he did when he was young.
