Just leave those guards in the building while it explodes? Shield just randomly murders other government agents now while disobeying orders? Or the fact that Shield/whoever has a facility that holds alien regenerative technology and a robot surgeon that can bring people back from the dead. Which is easily broken into in a matter of minutes with a self destruct failsafe that then destroys all that awesome stuff. And why was Coulson hesitant to give Skye the GH 325 after he found out it was alien blood?
Just too much goofiness. Writing has been all over the place.

Finally caught up and watched this episode, but I think you're complaints may be answered in later episodes.
Regarding Coulson, they did seem to go to great lengths to explain away his actions as just being who he his. Seemed kind of forced after reading your comments, and unneeded actually. We've already seen that Coulson will do just about anything to learn about T.A.H.I.T.I, and his actions saving Skye could be viewed as being purely selfish and still fit his character. To me, combining the two justifications is more than enough cause for his actions.
They also explain the confusion about the facility and that no one seems to know who it belongs too. It may not even be another government agency. Or not a another US gov agency. And the tech may have lived out its usefulness? To be honest, when they said T.A.H.I.T.I. was the one thing the Clairvoyant couldn't see, I first thought off-world, different dimension, or some other explanation. Add in May's phone report at the end of the episode, and this is obviously not the end of the story. There is still a lot we don't know. I'm guessing we'll learn more that explain away many of your concerns.
