If we're truly week one, I like the idea that Waller is SHIELD and not head of one of the other hundred alphabet organizations. It doesn't make sense for all of them to already exist.

Yeah. DC has way too many "we want to have our own version of SHIELD but can't stick to any one concept so we've got like a thousand shadowy organizations with acronym names" groups, so i figured it'd be cleaner to just lump them all into SHIELD. Since that's what they're all pretending to be anyway.
