* The complete reinterpretation of Carlos is a meta moment of awesome for both show writers and his actor, Creator/WilmerValderrama. In the original, Carlos was a nothing role, a plot point, something that the Gecko Brothers had to encounter in order to get their happy ending. Not in this show. With an engaging backstory, a bucket full of badass moments, a manipulative personality, and an incredible collective performance by Wilmer Valderrama, the show transformed him into arguably one of the show's best antagonists.

** Said respect comes when Seth starts to turn his temper on Jacob, and instead of backing down, Jacob ''doubles down''.
--> '''Seth:''' "What did you call me?"
--> '''Jacob:''' "Nothing. I didn't make a statement, I asked a question. Would you like me to ask it again?"

* Former Pastor Jacob gets ''two'' before the HalfwayPlotSwitch. The first one is when he manages to get between Seth and a rowdy bartender who are about to start a fight. Jacob cooly defuses the situation by explaining the situation and that he is in fact a truck driver and how the gecko brothers are his friends. The second moment of awesome comes when Seth is still getting world up about the bartender, to which Jacob reminds him how he managed to evade the entire Texas police force and that he should be cool, considering he already won.
