I noticed the teapot, but I missed the Asian influence in the rest of the decor/clothing -- except for the geisha heading off to her "engagement". I think you could *hear* my eyes rolling.
I am not sure that the casting of the subplot was problematic, though. I was actually pretty pleased to see a Latino of power, wealth, and sensitivity in the parental role. And the gang seemed to be mixed white and Latino, but I could be totally reading that wrong. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on this aspect being sketchy.
Boyd is my favorite character, and he already seems pretty uncomfortable, ethically, with what he's doing, so I have some hope we'll get some character development from him.
I don't disagree with you that Joss has been coasting on his Buffy feminist cred for a while now. I wish I still felt like I could trust him, but I don't. Not after Dr. Horrible.
