Trivia
Isaiah Bradley's recounting of how he had blood samples forcibly drawn from him while in prison (presumably in an attempt to recreate Steve Rogers's body enhancements) has a historical parallel to the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American cancer patient who had cellular tissue extracted from her for medical research without her consent or compensation in 1951. That cellular material is still maintained and used for medical research to this day without Lacks's family's knowledge for decades and still no compensation to this day, which is considered a point of contention about patients' rights and racist mistreatment in medical research.

Bucky says that he read "The Hobbit" when it was released in 1937. However, that was for the original British release, while the novel was not published in the USA until 1938. That is of course not counting that Bucky could have somehow learned of the new novel, which was drawing excellent reviews in Britain, and got a copy as an import or from a friend from there.

I love the realism in both episodes, it's not all heroes and sunshine, it's a realistic portrayal of their personal lives which makes me love these characters even more.
