Trivia
The letter that Clyde talks about writing to Henry Ford is real. The quotes they use in the episode are taken directly from the letter. However, there is debate about whether it was ever actually written by Clyde, due to the fake middle name "Champion", when his real middle name was Chestnut. He did, however, use the middle name Champion once when signing in at a prison.

Goofs
At the bank, Clyde says "nobody get bent". While the expression "get bent" meaning drunk had been around since the 1800s, he meant "bent" as in "angry", which didn't start until the 1950s.

Quotes
Lucy Preston: We've stolen, what, half a dozen cars on these trips? We're like hardened car thieves by now.
Wyatt Logan: Hey, if they don't want us to borrow 'em, they shouldn't leave the keys in 'em.

This is the first episode where the script differs radically from what happened - this means that History is changed but we have to see in what way.

There is a good development on the theme of 'Trust' each character has a secret which leaks out and radically changes the group dynamic. The idea of 'I can never trust you again' competes well with 'we are together so we have to find a way of working together whatever has occurred.'

We see nothing of Blanche Parker which is a pity since she has left a journal of those events. The cars are far to spic and span and I wondered if they were plastic replicas or treasured relics lent by proud owners. And there is a shoot out on a farm but not the final shoot out. - I was sorry not to hear 'why do you rob banks?' 'because it is where the money is' (Dillinger). Clyde's more intense relationship with Methven is not covered at all.
