Nitpicking out this episode but I really wish TV and movie producers would take a bit more time doing fact checking and hiring people appropriate to the region to play roles. Hong Kong scene was awful with clear American Chinatown signs and god awful fake Chinese accents.
Same thing happened with Pacific Rim. Asian cities are not full of weird voodoo shops selling animal parts run by Ron Perlman, fortune tellers, and American tourists. It's like portraying Paris as a city of mimes and Vespas with baskets full of baguettes and every Parisian was wearing tight pants with berets laughing at tourists bad French. It's simply not realistic and all it would have taken to fix the issue was a different camera angle and slightly different casting choices. Production laziness like this drives me nuts... /rant
