Yes, right now she's an annoying fangirl of Sasuke, but guess what...that's the point. Keep in mind that the story isn't finished yet, and in order to be a good story, it needs dynamic characters, characters who learn, improve on themselves, and change as the story goes on.
The story is about these three maturing and learning to live the life of a ninja. And in that process is maturing beyond childish thoughts, such as her blind love for Sasuke.
Basically, give it time, Sakura will become a much more interesting and likeable character as she learns that she has to follow her own path instead of attaching herself to other's.
As for the episode, I liked it. the fighting was good, and the scene's focusing on Sakura maturing were pretty well done too. Can't wait for the next episodes.
