Why do all superhero organizations sound so fucking dumb? "Agents of shield" sounds like something out of a terrible Mass Effect fan fiction.

Probably because they were named decades ago in comic books. But Shield is a fine sounding name.

What's wrong with it?
Oh yeah! -pumps fist into the air-

Actually, it's just S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division)
The show is about agents who work in the organization, so it's titled "Agents of Shield".

as far as forced acronyms go, it's pretty okay
It's been pretty disappointing so far.
It's been picking up surprisingly, supervillains are being let into the show, real action is happening, plot twists, stuff like that.
I'm genuinely hyped for more.
I haven't gotten into the show.. is it any good?

Its so so really, 6/10 and 6/10 for both imo
It's ok, very average.
Nothing stands out as terrible or wonderful.

3rd tier villains last used effectively in the 90s really don't count.
If this were on any network other than ABC it would have been gone by now, especially when paired against the #1 show in NA outside of the Walking Dead.
It's mildly interesting and has the right actors but the connection to the MCU are tenuous at best and writing is flat most of the time. It's not terrible by any stretch, but it's not great either.

I disagree with this, it's one of my favorite parts about the show. It not only picks up after The Avengers, but they timed the episodes to coincide with both the Thor 2 and Capt America 2 releases, so that the week immediately following the movie releases, the episode(s) tied into what happened in the movies.
I'm so excited about Agent Carter. I remember when i first heard rumors that they might make a show out of her storyline, I nearly couldnt contain myself with excitement

Most excellent on both of those, but has it's downs at times.
The show was pretty bad and I wouldn't of cared less if it got canceled at first.
But the TAHITI arc and the follow up from Captain America it became easily one of my favorite shows to watch on T.V. They really need a budget increase for CGI though. Some of the scenes like one from a few weeks ago were terrible.

I always thought they didn't do enough with her after watching the first Captn America movie.
I wonder how Agents of SHIELD is going to work after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

It really depends what you want out of it. If you're expecting action on the level of the MCU movies every week, then you're not going to get that. If you can look past that, you'll probably enjoy it. It's a lot more toned down and budgeted, and it has some flaws, but I would say that the tie-ins to Captain America 2 pushed the show from being pretty good to being really good in my opinion.
I personally enjoyed the entire season, so I'm really glad it was renewed.
I like it and hope that Channel 4 will show the next serise

It is working, the show was going real time with the movies.
Any episode aired after Cap 2 followed the Cap 2 story. That is why they recommended you watch Cap 2 before watching the SHIELD episode directly after the movie started.

First part of the series, probably 5-6/10 and 6/10.
Second part of the series (from just after the Thor 2 section) maybe jumped to a 9/10 story imo.

is there like a timeline or something so that everything can be watched in the right order

Agents of SHEILD was basically boring world building to get the user to understand how things work prior to the events of Winter Soldier.
It's only NOW that they're getting into the swing of things. The show HAS been waiting for this event.
