Trivia[]
Cultural references[]
Errors[]
- On Sousa's record sheet, it says "Place if Birth", instead of "Place of Birth".
- Since technically Carter co-founded S.H.I.E.L.D., she would most likely be called Director Carter, instead of Agent Carter.
- Sousa is referred to as an agent by Coulson, even though he's since been promoted to chief, as he refers to being in charge of the LA branch and he's even referred to as Chief on the door of his office at Area 51.
