Real Shield isn't built on any concept of democracy, they're just united by their want to put down any kind of superhuman threat. Hello Civil War tie in

That episode was pretty phenomenal. Almost non-stop action from start to finish and it was really great stuff.

I like that one of their central points was the secrets thing and in response to that they decided to form a secret SHIELD and then secretly infiltrate other SHIELD. Good job, guys. You're really combating secrecy.

The anti-aliens/anti-powers thing makes more sense and as was pointed out, fits in well with the upcoming Civil War stuff. It makes sense that in the wake of all of these new developments there'd be a group of people that'd be staunchly against it all out of fear.

Coulson: Do you know how I know who you are? I looked for you. I wanted you to join me, to help me.

Adama: Heh, we were hiding. By the way secrets are bad.

I knew that dude was either HYDRA or gonna bite it. He was an rear end from his intro last week.

Pretty funny, though, that the dude in the bulletproof vest got impaled, but Bobbi didn't.

Seriously. I understand REEL SHEELD's point of view and their understandable reservations about Fury's actions, but the way they've gone out of the way to dick around Coulson while being super hypocritical about things just undercuts any good point they could make.

Honestly, I wish that they hadn't gone that route. I really liked this episode, but the heavy-handed way they played up the other SHIELD as sneaky ruthless assholes -- and oh by the way did we mention that they don't like superpowers for some reason? -- makes this whole situation rather silly. All of EJO's reservations and objections to the way that Fury ran SHIELD, which should all be perfectly valid reservations and objections, comes across instead like so much ignorant whining considering that he himself didn't/couldn't give a single coherent response to any of the various valid questions Coulson lobbed at him.

Keep an adversary in the dark about what you're capable of, and he has to assume the worst.
I think the missing piece of the RealShield puzzle is what was on the ship that Fury thought was worth sacrificing Bobbi's life for. Best guesses are a superpowered villain or some nightmare weapon that should have been launched into the sun. It is going to be the Koenig assembly line and/or cloning vats
