Rewatching Captain America: The Winter Soldier just makes me think about how smart Steve is. I feel like he is often overshadowed by other Avengers, such as Bruce, Tony and Nat.
In WS, he has many moments that portray the way his brain thinks. My personal favorites are the elevator scene and when him and Nat arrive at the old army camp. He knows those agents are coming after him due to slight body language, such as a hand on a gun or a couple of beads of sweat while in the elevator. At the old army base, he is able to find the room with Zola with little information. He uses his knowledge on army regulations to find the old SHIELD office. From there, he is just able to notice little things that are off, such as the shelves that reveal the computer.
Sorry for the lil rant, but I just think Steve deserves more intellectual credit than the fandom gives him.
Fort Jay, on Governor's Island, was the U.S.'s first Army base. It celebrated its 200th anniversary in 1954, and the public was invited to visit. Here, two seven-year olds tag along in the march, unseen by the soldiers, on May 15, 1954.

There is a lot of fun to be had in “Little Green Men” (S04E08, Stardate Unknown). As an homage to the old sci-fi B-Movies it works, and as a Ferengi episode it ranks pretty high up there. Quark gets a decent arc, and Odo and Rom get to save the day. A nice episode with a low continuity entry bar.
I modeled my episode poster after the calendar that hangs on the wall in the army base in 1947.
