Sadly I'm still not overly excited about AoS, although I thought the last episode was ok and a little more interesting. Overall I just don't really care about any of the other characters apart from Coulson and the team's cases lack the kind of 'excitement' I thought we'd get by a Joss Whedon show set in a world where super heroes and powers exist. I'll keep watching but each week I'm way more excited about other shows I watch (like Sleepy Hollow or Elementary or Grimm for example).
one of my pet peeves: TPTB, if you want to write a Chinese character, make sure the actor you hire can actually speak the language properly; it's ridiculously easy to tell when they can't and ruins the "authenticity" you're aiming for. LOL, I can't tell you how often the 'German' spoken in US (and even UK) shows makes me cringe, it's ridiculous. I swear, most of the time German lines are spoken by people who've never even heard the language before, let alone spoken. Their pronunciation is so way off, that I hardly understand what they're (supposedly) saying in my native language. Apart from that the writers often translate dialogue in a way no one in Germany would speak. Ever. So yeah, I really feel you on this.
