But why is it that we never see what the other Shield agents are up to around the world? There's gotta be a lot of conflicts for them to handle. In their headquarters we only see people walking around, passing by. What are their missions? Assignments? Who are they going after? I noticed every time the base is on "lockdown" we only get to see the main cast. What about the countless agents around?
What'd the other people on the enterprise do when something went wrong (which seemed to happen weekly ).?
What are the other cops doing when the main characters are off on a case?
It's not relevant to the story - at least not relevant enough to cast a bunch of real actors, and pay them loads more to actually speak and act on screen. It was established that, for one, shield was small and just being rebuilt, then this happened and the authorities basically scattered them all to the wind or arrested them until they could prove they weren't LMD's.
Shows rarely follow other groups of characters. When they do, it's a setup for a spin-off.
