I think like a lot of things with this show you just have to go in with the mindset that it's not going to amount to much. That way you don't raise your hopes up just to have them dashed and if by some miracle it does end up being meaningful you can be pleasantly surprised for a change.

But since most, if not all the 'respectful mentions' have basically amounted to Jack getting jiggy with someone who mentions 'loving the coat' I'd probably err on the side of not expecting too much.
