I never actively thought she'd be evil, or hated her character. Before the character development for Asami in "The Aftermath" I was at worst ambivalent towards her. Didn't really think she'd be evil either, I mean I did entertain the notion all along that she could be an Equalist spy in the back of my mind until the reveal in episode 7, but it wasn't a very serious one, and it was more because of the way Bryke had set her up as a little too perfect initially. Didn't make me look down on her or anything at all though, I mean antagonists are often just cool, if not cooler, than the good guys, just look at Azula for instance. After episode 7 though I didn't think there was any way at all that'd be evil or anything like that at all.

I don't really think it's a shame at all that people thought she might be a villain before the end of episode 7, that's just natural suspicions (well should be anyway, some I'm sure took it to irational character bashing extremes like they're doing with Mako) as the story develops, I've been suspicious of plenty characters who've later turned out to be good guys after all. But anyone who still thought she was evil or an Equalist or anything like that after "The Aftermath", yeah, that's inexcuseable.
