This might be nitpicking but I haven’t seen anyone mention it
In episode 5 of season 3 Cassie auditions for LA nights and uses a monologue from Shakespeare's historical play Antony and Cleopatra.
The thing that bothered me about the scene was her brief explanation of the play. She mentions the monologue takes place after Mark Antony has been defeated by Julius Caesar, but that just isn’t true. Julius Caesar is not a character in Shakespeare’s play and he died years before the historical events of the play took place. The person who defeated Antony and captured Cleopatra (both in history and in the play) was Gaius Octavius often referred to as Augustus who was the first roman emperor.
It seems like such a weird mistake and in my opinion only speaks to the poor writing of season 3. How didn’t anyone catch this? And why use a literary reference if you're going to use it so wrong?
Maybe someone could say that the mistake is intentional and meant to represent how Cassie doesn’t know what she's talking about. But if that were the case, wouldn’t have someone pointed it out in the scene? Lexi for example, who clearly didn’t want Cassie to get the role or one of the producers/writers watching the audition.
I think a mistake like this shouldn’t be considered minor and does in fact show poor writing. However I also think that the scene might serve a bigger purpose and the play being chosen purposely. This is only a theory, but it might foreshadow Nate's (and consequently Cassie's) fate; Nate being Mark Antony and committing suicide after his "defeat" by Naz, with Cassie being Cleopatra and having her "act/monologue of defiance" whatever that might be.
(note that in Shakespeare's play Cleopatra also commits suicide as she wants to reunite with Antony in the afterlife, which could also represent Cassie's fate)
