* CoolGun: The eponymous Dead Man's Gun is a black enameled Smith & Wesson Schofield with gold chased engraving and ivory grips. Shame that it's cursed.

** In "The Fortune Teller" the eponymous character reads the fortune of a landowner (who allowed them to pass through his property) and tells him that his life will be in danger because of his gun. While the fortune teller merely is trying to trick the man into giving her his (valuable looking) gun, that gun is the eponymous Dead Man's Gun and he really was in danger by having it. Part of the reason the man is so quick to hand it over is because he has indeed been having bad luck since he got the gun.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Played with. Zane and Irene play it straight in “Fortune Teller” with the equal balance and tenderness of their love scene. Johnny and his wife Kate seem to play this straight in “Sleepwalker” but only one of the two turns out to be “good” in the end [[spoiler:Johnny, who is being framed by his wife.]] The eponymous character in "Stagecoach Mrty" looks uncomfortable throughout her sex scene (she's a good character, he isn't). There’s also plenty of steamy love scenes with unsympathetic characters like in “The Black Widow” and “Next of Kin”.

* GetOut: In "The Healer", when outlaw Dalton Coe is recuperating from a gunshot wound, he is approached by [[spoiler:the sheriff, who intends to arrest him.]] Coe says he'd rather [[spoiler:the sheriff]] leave town and never come back. Coe intimidates his cowardly adversary into complying with this demand without getting up from his chair.



** In "The Black Widow" Tanya is both this and... you guessed it a BlackWidow.

** In "The Black Widow" Tanya is both this after money from infatuated men and... you guessed it a BlackWidow.


Added DiffLines:

* KarmicJackpot: In "The Healer", [[spoiler:Bob Morris is the only one of Dalton Coe's enemies who Coe spares. He's also the only one of the group to show reluctance toward threatening or shunning Dr. Butler or display even a little remorse for whipping Coe and running him out of town before he was an outlaw.]]
