- Alternate Character Interpretation: In this episode, Joe is upset that the girl he likes is going to the dance with David. Wishbone wonders why he doesn't just ask Sam to the dance. Is he a Shipper on Deck or does he just think Joe would have more fun with a platonic friend rather than a romantic partner?
- Genius Bonus: The contrast between military captain Miles Standish and his intellectual best friend John Alden is a big point in The Courtship of Miles Standish. The episode doesn't really go into that but their counterparts are the modern teenage equivalents: Joe the basketball star and David the science whiz.
