HERE IS MY LITTLE TAKE ON THE SUBJECT AT HAND
I love the cast, but...
There is a very long lived Marvel comic book series called "Damage Control." This comic book concerns a non-super powered group of people who go into damage zones cause by the fights, and other destructive behavior, of super heroes and super villains... to clean up the mess left in their wake.
I always loved the concept of "Damage Control!" And Agents of SHIELD is "Damage Control!"
SHIELD is the technology of the Marvel universe!
Shield is the hard examination of this world!
Shield is Nick Fury!
Shield is straight adventure!
Shield is Ming-Na Wen's character, Melinda May, going SOLO into the heart of HYDRA and kicking butt in a one-woman-army campaign led by Coulson in her earbud!
Shield is Steranko world of awesomeness!
Shield is the ((((LMD)))) -- the LIFE MODEL DECOY!
And if Coulson is anything other than an LMD... working to keep SHIELD going strong, while his real body is being worked on to bring it back to life -- anything else will be a major disappointment to me!
This is just SOME of what S.H.I.E.L.D is... and Damage Control is another comic book world for another corner of the Marvel universe!
Hey Marvel, you need to hire a few writers who have actually READ Marvel comics... including S.H.I.E.L.D! Any writer, who is serious about comic book mythology, would NEVER write these stories. This show should be all adventure, all Marvel colors and all Marvel superpowers... and how to fight, or embrace, them!
Simple as that!
