I find it amusing that until this episode, people were complaining that SHIELD was using kid's gloves, wasn't acting enough like a real spy agency, and didn't have enough credibility to be a serious threat in the field. Now they undertake (yet another) successful legitimate field mission, without the kids gloves, like a real spy agency, and its too much! You can't please everyone, I guess.

There's no insults.........
Well hey, hard to find nice amongst the supporters of the Agents of MURDER, I should just feel lucky not to be close enough to any of them to sustain grievous injury!
Sounds like you want to disturb my calm too. Why are you taking a post I made saying for people to chill out and using it to digress off to start a fight?
If someone is so facile as to take the bait on that one and start an actual fight I'd be surprised.
New to this internet thing huh?
I had one teeny-tiny critique about the episode.
That explosion, when Garret and Coulson are running onto the plane...looked hideous. I know, it's a TV show, not a movie, therefore the CGI budget isn't up there with The Avengers. But damn, that looked awful.

Still, the moral ambiguity of SHIELD this week isn't trolling on my part. I still think that given the limited information they had it be like shooting a soldier when he shot at you for breaking into Fort Knox.
Are you really this butt hurt about two random guards getting offed? They opened fire and were aiming to kill. Kill or be killed and those guys got killed.
Show gets a little dark and gritty, which a lot of us have wanted to see and of course there is someone complaining about two "innocent" guards getting offed.
But I guess I shouldn't expect anything different from someone who has been constantly complaining about the show since you started posting on here.
We know that. Or at the very least suspect that. Why would it possibly scream HYDRA to Coulson?The facility isn't SHIELD, period. It's not even Fury's.
"WWFD?" Fury would hide the damn place, that's what he'd do. He'd also have the tightest security possible at a place that was housing aliens, super blood, and god only knows what else. He wouldn't have rigged the place to blow in ten minutes; he'd have rigged it to blow in ten seconds.
The writers made a concerted effort to show that this place was virtually unguarded. Even before Coulson showed up, these two cannon fodder ("Bob, Agent of HYDRA") were literally sitting around, eating cereal, and not even getting any information from HQ (wherever *that* is) about when they were getting relieved, and by whom.
This place screams HYDRA. Screams it from the highest rafters.
So... Is Coulson now obligated to go all cowboy and launch deadly assaults every time anyone might be saved by the process used to revive him? That actually is a question, among others, of an ethical nature they just breezed on by.
But Coulson's team were the aggressors. They're the ones who broke into the facility. A facility that simply has to be considered between neutral and SHIELD-aligned based on the information at hand.they didnt go there to eliminate any threats.. they went there prepared to not get eliminated themselves..coulson expected a location where secret unethical experiments were conducted to be heavily guarded, and the reception he got when he clearly stated his peaceful objective was hostile..
like you said, people die on missions and wars.. so why so much concern over two agents who tried to kill people who came to save someone.. coulson's been handed a select team to do as he pleases since fury trusts his judgement... he didnt have a mission, but he also didnt have any directive not to go to GH or to save his team
