  • So Darnell gets relocated after getting caught on Estrada or Nada, But he was also on COPS. Why didn't he get relocated after that? They establish that Estrada or Nada was viewed by a lot of people, but isn't Cops a very popular show? Or did I just miss something?
    • He mentions being able to sign a 'release form' that allows him to appear on TV.
    • The whole thing on Estrada or Nada was played exceptionally over-the-top with Joy screaming out their address on camera. The COPS episode didn't have him in quite the same prominent and dangerous position.

  • Why didn't the Warden just hire Earl when it was time for him to be released if he didn't want him to leave so bad?
    • He was just as big an idiot as anyone else in Camden.
  • One thing that continually bothers me is all of the romantic hints/connections in the series that got dropped without explanation immediately after.

Another bothersome one was the Earl/Ruby setup that such a big deal was made about in the Season 2 finale, only never to be mentioned again during or after Earl's prison sentence, instead being replaced with the Billie storyline. Heck, even the Season 3 finale seemingly set a thing up with Randy/Greta to once again disappear the next episode.
