I really enjoyed the pilot. It felt rushed, but I loved the characters and everything Whedony about it. The Bus is like Serenity with an interior like the Dollhouse. Skye reminds me of Caroline (how long before we learn her real name?) and at times Melinda May made me think of a retired, older Buffy. I loved hearing a real orchestra too.
I keep thinking of *SPOILER* the shadowy team with guns who showed up looking for Mike near the end, who Coulson said weren't "ours" (or something along those lines). Think SHIELD does have more morally grey people after all who our team don't know about? Maybe my distrust of fictional organisations is too ingrained. Thanks, Joss.

Since none of the backstory on the plan is included in the clip, seen out of context it reads like the hostage negotiations we've seen a thousand times on TV and in the movies, where the unarmed negotiator tries to convince the agitated armed person that the negotiator is on his side. Which he seemed to be succeeding at. That makes what happens next startling, and the prolonged visual high-fives the crew give each other really creepy. I thought, "Wow, Joss isn't wasting any time going dark with this show."
When I watched the entire pilot and learned that Joss was not, in fact, turning that trope inside out, I was rather disappointed.

I agree that was the worst moment of the show, which was otherwise superb.
