Who was the person in charge of casting this episode???!!!

This episode of "One Step Beyond" is about a Chinese lady and her boyfriend, a Lieutenant in the British army. So why then did they cast a German lady as the Chinese woman and an American as the British soldier?! The looks and accents were all wrong...especially for Lt. Fraser (Mario Alcalde). This took me out of the story as I couldn't help noticing the dumb choices of actors.

The story involves Lt. Fraser being sent home to London, as his term is evidently ending. However, he's fallen in love with a local lady...and asks her to accompany him home as his wife. She seems a bit ambivalent about this but agrees. But when she doesn't show up, he's at his wits end.

Overall, this is an okay story told with the wrong actors. As a result, it's one of the poorer episodes in the series. You could do a lot better.
