Trivia & References

The episode title Unforgiven comes from the 1992 Western of the same name directed by Clint Eastwood. The film centres on the story of an outlaw gunslinger who has retired to live a quiet life, who is drawn back to his old life for one last job.

Sam and Samuel use the aliases Roark and Wyman. Sam's alias (H.Roark) is a reference to the main character in Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead which embodied the philosophy of objectivism, where individual self-interest was held as the purpose of one's life (and so it is interesting that this is associated with soulless Sam). Wyman is a reference to Bill Wyman, bass player for the Rolling Stones.

Sam: Mel Gibson really took a turn this past year huh?

Dean: or he's possessed.

A reference to Mel Gibson's nurmerous instances of bad behaviour in 2010 which included release of an abusive ophone call to his girlfriend, allegations fo dometic abuse and a serious of instances of racist, ant-Semitic and homophobic statements.
