So I guess the weirdest part about last Tuesday's episode is that S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't dead yet, and it doesn't look like it's be dead for another few episodes. It's just been hit hard by Hydra and is now hobbling along as its run by...who? Hand seems like the most likely candidate as the highest ranking agent left (remember - no one knows she's dead yet), but Coulson seems to be running the show in her stead. How many people are supposed to know he's still alive, again? Blake, Sitwell, Col. Talbot, any odd agent stationed at the Hub can know Coulson's back but Cap and Widow can't?

Wait, why did Hydra attack SHIELD in the first place? I thought the point wasn't that Hydra was at war with SHIELD, but that Hydra was SHIELD and that's why the organization needed to be scuttled. The back end of the season being this "war" between what's left of SHIELD and whatever Garrett is doing with Hydra just seems silly.

And I still have to wonder what a potential Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD would look like when there isn't a SHIELD for anyone to be agents of anymore.
