* Also in the ending, it's mentioned that Creator/TomHanks starred in ''Film/{{Philadelphia}} [[{{Sequelitis}} 2]]''. Considering that Selina apparently permanently banned gay marriage, Hollywood probably figured they could/had to remake the movie to be more lawful.

* In "Midterms", Selina remarks that the President is so hapless because of his reliance on advisors like Ben and Kent. By the start of season 4, Ben and Kent are key advisors to [[spoiler:President]] Meyer and her hapless presidential campaign.
** Come the GrandFinale, when she needs to win her party's nomination, she realizes she doesn't know what to do when Ben [[spoiler:gets hospitalized]], until he encourages her to find a solution on her own. It’s NotQuiteTheRightThing for Ben to have said, as it results in Selina going through with some of the most terrible decisions she's ever made, including [[spoiler:choosing Jonah as her running mate]] in spite of Kent outright begging her to not go through with that to the point that he quits when she does anyways. Selina's not so hapless anymore...
* In the ending, [[spoiler:Selina dies to old age 24 years after the present day. Meanwhile, the similarly-aged or older aged Kent, Mike, Andrew, Tom, Montez, and Furlong (and [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally]], even Hughes, despite Selina calling him old) are still alive. Studies have shown that anger and a bad temper can lead to a shorter lifespan.]]

* In spite of Selina being largely depicted as selfish and incompetent, she has moments which show how she was able to become an accomplished Senator, mount a presidential campaign and become Vice President. In "Debate" she is shown to be an effective public speaker who can think on her feet, and in "Congressional Ball" she ruthlessly and successfully browbeats fellow politicians to keep them in line.

* When Selina sings "50 Ways to Win in Denver" she finishes the song by rhyming "Israel" with "Catherine", which, of course, don't rhyme at all. "Palestine" on the other hand...
