3* Tulip adopts a dog named "Brewski," a common slang word for beer; she only got the dog for Cassidy to drink.
4* If you're not familiar with the comic, then up until the 7/17 episode, Quincannon listening to recordings of the sounds of animals being slaughtered in the meat packing plant seems like just a symptom of madness. However, his reveal that he believes in the "God of Meat" means that he may actually consider this his time of worship (or at least meditation).
5* The Sheriff's frenzied expression as he strangles the life out of the Seraphim as a MercyKill is a pretty clear indication of the mental turmoil he's suffering from looking after his catatonic wife.
6* The reason it initially took so long for the Heaven Phone to actually make contact was probably because [[PaperThinDisguise the angels were scrambling for a convincing God costume]], green screen and everything.
7* Quincannon got his wish to destroy the church...just not in the way he wanted, as it was done by the explosion of the methane that had leaked from his power plant, and it took him with it (not that he cared much for his own life at that point).
8* In the second episode of the second season, while the Saint of Killers is on a rampage through the motel, a man missing his arm calmly walks to a soda dispenser. Jesse uses the Word to command him to be quiet, but it doesn't work. This seems odd, but given the man's obliviousness to everything else, including his own grievous injury, he was probably in delirious shock enough that he could not hear and comprehend Jesse.
9* Remember in the Season 2 finale when the Dog Man was revealed to be God? Just spell "Dog" backwards and you get "God"!
10* Season 3 shows that Hoover is a pretty good singer and piano player, which is a bit of a surprise, but the first time we see Featherstone, she's undercover as a lounge singer. Grail agents are apparently trained in a variety of skills, such as music, to help their cover identities. This might be why these two were paired up, as well.
11* In Season 3, when a goat gets catapulted at the main characters, T.C. authoritatively rattles off some of its characteristics. A later scene has him invading a local goat farm to molest the livestock, and the cops' reaction suggests that this isn't the first time. T.C. has acquired quite an intimate knowledge of goats!

14* Imagine how chaotic Annville could have been if it didn't get blown up.
15* Both mascots are seen hanging from the same tree after having committed suicide just moments prior to the town exploding in the finale, if they were otherwise good people (a bit doubtful in this town) then their suicide has just sealed their condemnation to hell. If they had delayed a bit longer, they would have died without having that mortal sin damning them.
16* So, who would feed (or free) Ashleigh after Mike committed suicide to not get questioned by the Saint of Killers?
17* Jesse effectively sent Tulip to Hell. He didn't allow Cass to save her, and as she has robbed, killed, and had sex out of wedlock, it's unlikely she would make it into Heaven, regardless of whether the gates are open with God gone. Thankfully, Tulip never made it further than Purgatory.
18* Jesse burned down the Tombs, but we never see him setting free the soulless slaves there (though, if they could have never gotten their souls back, it might have been for the best).
19* One of the handful (if not more) people that were possessed by Genesis before it reached Jesse was a minister of a Satanic cult. Imagine if that person managed to successfully merge with Genesis and wield The Word, rather than just blow up. The atrocities he'd be able to exact, and on what scale, would be horrifying.
