Ep2 could've been much better, but that's not even why I'm worried about the following episode.

Sure, a lot of things could've been done better, but in retrospect, this was a story that they could had chosen to skip altogether. And while it misses out on a lot of touches on Asuna's story, it really depends on one's perspective. In the original first vol, those crazy elements were stuff that were kept missing from Kirito's view for a long time until they've become more acquainted. There are other opportunities to revisit it, and while it may not be as detailed as the light novel, it's fine.

Ep3, coming off an Aria adaption was my main issue going through a chronological adaption of SAO, in that a RDR follow-up from an episode where Kirito had pretty much reaffirmed his 'Solo' status would... be awkward? To say the least.
