You've killed two SHIELD security guards and blown up a top-secret SHIELD facility, all in the process of disobeying direct orders! You are all going to be court-martialed and thrown in jail! Why are you all acting like everything is just fine now?!" I don't see how they can just go on about their business now as if none of this mattered.
It wasn't an official SHIELD facility, was it? It was some off-the-books facility without the SHIELD name officially attached, presumably so they could have plausible deniability.
But I agree with you that the team was really damn blase about killing 2 guys, especially when they have Fitz's magic knockout-but-don't-kill gun.
I was expecting Coulson to find another Coulson in the tank.
Me, too. At first I thought the thing in the tank was original!Coulson. (Or, I suppose, half of original!Coulson.)
Surely he could have divined a way to keep that from turning into an exploding disaster if he were the Clairvoyant.
I think the theory isn't that he's literally clairvoyant; it's that his SHIELD clearance is so high that he knows everything the "Clairvoyant" knew...except how Coulson was resurrected. Garrett couldn't find that out with his SHIELD clearance since it was apparently done in that non-SHIELD off-the-books facility.
One of the other things that bothered me was that there were only two guards. They guard 24/7? They commute to the mountain?

But they found it by getting into the official SHIELD archive of Everything SHIELD Does. It can't be off-the-books if it is literally IN the book.

Exactly! Where the hell was that thing?

Okay...except hasn't Big C been shown to know things that SHIELD clearance wouldn't even have been involved in? I can't remember, I wasn't paying that much attention. But it does answer the question of why Big C couldn't see that one thing.

What about Doctor Book? Coulson found him; surely Big C would have at least the same resources as Coulson. He could have gotten the doctor and extracted all the information he wanted out of him; he didn't have to rely on politely asking.
I dunno. The mystery of Who Is The Clairvoyant hasn't grabbed me.
I'm predicting that the Clairvoyant is one of Skye's parents.
why would one of Skye's parents tell Quinn to shoot her?
Maybe because he thought it would activate her powers?
Well, it's not like the Clairvoyant is nice. Plus it causes the team to go after what cured Coulson.
The Guest House was stated to be a non-SHIELD facility. I do agree that it was very off-putting that they killed two guys just doing their jobs. Especially with the Night-Night Guns available.
I think the reason Coulson was so shocked was not because aliens were involved, but rather the whole pulling fluids from half a dead alien to make medicine thing.
I am hoping that the choice to kill the two guards will be something that is revisited once the urgent SAVE SKYE blinders fall from their eyes.
