* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original script of the pilot had Lucas [=McCain=] named John[[note]]which would have meant he shared a name with a future [[UsefulNotes/JohnMcCain longtime Senator and 2008 Republican nominee for President]][[/note]], he would have been single with no son rather than the widower he eventually became and his weapon of choice would have been a pistol instead of his Winchester rifle.
