I would guess it is because both Cassie and Cole drank the tea made from the red forest.

She started off with Aragorn's speech at the gates of Mordor from Return of the King. Followed by Braveheart, Independence Day and lastly, Bill and Ted The only thing that bothered me was Cole not telling Cassie about the red forest and drinking the tea. Come on! It did not make sense to me why he would not tell her what was going on.

I also thought of Sense and Sensibility. I think the comparison goes deeper than the names of the Miss Dashwoods to the central conflict in that book. Eleanor Dashwood and her reasoned and dispassionate approach and Marianne and her emotional and passionate approach. Cold hard logic versus messy emotions. Sense and Sensibility also posits a middle path--ending with Marianne learning to curb her emotions and Eleanor learning to let her emotions loose. Maybe this is a good sign for the final episode? I hope so.

Very happy that Agent Carter has been renewed.

I agree. How about a little redirect, madam prosecutor, such as: "CI Hardy, Please tell us about your medical condition." "I've got a heart condition. Doctor says I could drop at any minute." "How has it hampered your physical ability in any way?" "I'd say. I'm practically an invalid. Couldn't chase down Joe Miller the first time he tried to turn himself in. I nearly died." "How about deliver a blow strong enough to break someone's ribs?" "I can certainly bellow loudly enough but don't think that would break a rib, no. Had offers of sex turned down for fear I'd die. I couldn't beat a stick, if you know what I mean." "Who else knows of your condition?" "My doctor, of course. My boss. Miller." "How has this impacted your work?" "I've been pulled from active duty. Stuck boring cadets to tears." "Your honor, I submit that the defense's theory is bullocks. We can call his doctor if you would like expert testimony, but I am sure you agree that won't be needed." Of course, the plot gods required a complication. Toss the confession, they demanded. That will mess things up nicely. Since this is drama not an actual criminal trial I have more patience. It was not like watching the OJ trial--I was screaming at the TV.

I was predisposed to like this as I loved Tim Omundsun in Psych. Also, love the Princess Bride and Holy Grail. Now having seen the first two episodes, I actually liked it better than I thought I would. I hope it finds an audience and that ABC continues to do short series like this and Agent Carter.
