* StillFightingTheCivilWar: When Jack reunites with his war-buddies Lewis and Clarke, they still think that the Revolutionary War is still going on. When Jack tries convincing them of the truth, they take one look at Emilia and presume that not only is the war still going, but that Jack had gone turncoat and that the island (which they think is US territory) is under British occupation. It takes the Daring Dragoon saving them from an execution and a (likely forged) letter from the President for them to believe him.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The Creator/MarquisDeSade was a lot of things: an author of obscene EroticLiterature, a political activist, a political prisoner multiple times over, but it's unlikely that the real Marquis was the owner of his own BDSM-resort island in the West Indies, or that he partook in the auctioning of stolen royal treasure.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Governor Croque is married to a woman and an entire episode is dedicated to him trying to sexually please his wife, but his working relationship with Captain Brogard is very suggestive too. They even spends a weekend together at the Marquis De Sade's BDSM resort as pets, the episode ending with Croque dragging Brogard around with a leash and whip him with a crop on their walk back to their estate.

* EpicFail: Lewis and Clarke (as in ''that'' Lewis and Clarke) decided to go into the "exploring" business and went to make the Western half of the Northern continent. The only problem is that they went over 10,000 miles ''in the wrong direction'', finding themselves in Palau-Palau when they meant to go to Oregon.
