An 084 is basically SHIELD's catch-all term for some kind of (probably alien) tech or creature that no one has ever seen before or knows precisely what it does. Have you seen the Marvel movies? (I forget if you've said.) Because Thor's hammer was an 084. So was the Tesseract. The thing that killed Lucy Lawless recently is an 084. Skye was the first person that we were told on the show is an 084, so that reveal at the time was quite shocking. (Actually, I think, technically, ever since Coulson was brought back to life with the genetic material of that dead blue alien creature we saw in Season 1, he's considered an 084 too, but don't quote me on that.)
Hope that helps!
*sadface* at no BSG/AOS crossover. I get that though. I guess I'd be intimidated too, if I couldn't find a way around the technobabble.
I think the fact that they've spent money on Kyle Maclaughlin suggests that they're thinking big. At least, I hope so. Also, KM is really great at cheerfully walking this fine line between utterly normal and totally weird that I think could make him really work as an alien, so I think they might be dealing straight on this one. I really hope so, anyway.
