Is anyone else annoyed that all the agents are super hot 20 year olds? It doesn't make any sense. The last line of defense between this world and whats out there is them? And they aren't even that good at acting, which makes it feels so cheesy from time to time. I would have much preferred if there were at least a couple of older actors aswell. They are better actors, make the show feel less cheesy and make it allow for the characters to have their own unique background story.

Even the tech nerd that hacked SHIELD solo is a freaking hot girl. And I'm not saying that beautiful girls wouldn't be able to do that, but why didn't any of the characters even make the slightest remark about it. They all pretend like its the most normal thing in the world.

I gave this series a second shot and started watching episode 2. But about 10 min in they are in the middle of the jungle with so much make up that it looks like they are going out to a ball. When they get attacked by the local soldiers, guess who turned out to be their commander .. another beautiful girl. (this is where i stopped watching)

And i know so many series, like the vampire diaries, have the same problem but man i expected better from this show.

Speaking of which, it turns out that she attempted to become a Chinese pop star before she became an actress. She was born Chole Wang and changed her name to Chloe Bennett at some point.

Problem? That is the reason why I watch vampire diaries. It basically is soft porn. I sometimes mute episodes and listen to music meanwhile. The visuals just trumph the writing by a huge margin.

Well to be honest here, it`s Joss Whedon.

Firefly took just a tad too long to get most people involved. Buffy is horrific until the middle of season two. I am really sure that they are soon going to find their rythm.

I sign the petition for more edgy actors. They did a great job with the old guy from the movie as the main one, they should have more old/weird people.

As to the beautiful hacker-girl. Well they did not cater to the stereotype and gave her dark cirlces around the eyes and some weird scruffy hair and goth/industrial clothing. That actually makes her less flat for the role and they have time to come up with an explanation why she did not just became an actress or pop-idol with these looks, .
Someone with the looks of Eric S. Raymond or Richard Stallman would have been amazing though!

It is not too late to change most of the cast.

The way my country was portrayed in episode 3 is quite funny and well, makes the plot look a bit silly to someone like me xD

1) Malta is not a country which would not extradite criminals; perhaps not to the US if there's the risk of the suspect being given the death penalty, but it would definitely extradite to any of the US's European NATO allies lol, especially with a little something called a European Arrest Warrant lol.
2) Maltese authorities would definitely not shoot US forces on sight haha; US warships (and those of several other countries including Russia, France, UK etc) are a regular sight in Maltese harbours; Malta allowed the US to use airstrips and harbours during the Libyan crisis as well - the last time Malta was against foreign military influence was in the 80s, and even then, when there was a plane hijacking, the authorities allowed US-led Egyptian commandos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_648), so really, in the real world, SHIELD would really have been welcomed
3) Ian Quin says that Malta allows him to do the research necessary for progress, research that the US Government, the EU and SHIELD prohibit...but Malta has been in the EU for 10 years, so that bit doesn't make much sense either.
4) Agent Ward asks Coulsen to drop him off outside the hills in Valletta (Malta's capital) so that he can create a cover ID and infiltrate Ian Quin's place...only there are no 'hills' outside Valletta really, it's just urban sprawl lol.
5) It's funny how it's ok to go into Peru in episode 2 without fearing any consequences, but going into Malta is risky lol, considering Malta's army has no jets, attack helicopters, tanks, armoured vehicles or anything which might possibly be a threat to Agent Coulsen's tie pin.
