* The Old Testament may not have any names beginning with F, but "Frankincense" isn't from the Old Testament anyway. (Note: The only F names in the New Testament are Roman: Felix and Festus, which might have sounded horrible to a pioneer couple trying to give their boy a manly name. That could have been why they went with Frankincense which allowed the nickname Frank. Also, "on account of he smelled so sweet.")

* Casting Jeff Richards in the movie is often criticized because he couldn't dance well, but in terms of appearance and setting, he's probably the best cast of the brothers. As a former pro athlete, with his rugged and muscular build, he actually looks like a 19th century backwoodsman. Someone like that probably wouldn't have the build of a professional dancer.

* As mentioned above, if any of the other girls had the baby, it would have been premature. Premature babies would be unlikely to survive on the frontier.

* A lot of Adam's behavior makes sense when you consider his situation. His father "chopped a tree down on himself" sometime after Gideon was born, and their mother is nowhere to be seen. Judging by the state of the house, he's had to be [[PromotionToParent the sole patriarch for his rowdy teenage brothers]] for years on end. Small wonder he's a bit stubborn and withholding about his circumstances.
* Similarly, the isolation the boys have up in the hills explains a lot of their behavior. With no frame of reference, [[NoSocialSkills they're utterly ignorant of how to behave]] or what is acceptable behavior for courting. The fact that Adam doesn't know much more than them is what leads to them to kidnapping the girls, since Adam hides what he doesn't know so much better.

* At the end of the show, all the girls claim that Millie's baby is actually theirs. Obviously this is an outrageous lie, but if it were true that would mean that the baby was very premature since the girls had only been kidnapped for six months or so.

Even the menfolk have to know that it would be a ''really'' bad idea to kill the father of the child and take the mother and her weakened baby back to the town in their condition. The lie may have been what ultimately convinced the men to just let the girls marry the Pontipee brothers rather than causing a bloodbath.
