Seriously! He needed to be handed over! Bleeding heart mark... literally all of humanity could have been enslaved because... shapesmith wanted to "see the stars" lame lame lame and he should have met his punishment.

[@slanetroyard92]

@@CrocodileWhispers I'm with you on that. If shapesmith wanted to see what was out there he could've built a ship or something. Guess he really doesn't understand that actions have consequences. And he just put earth in serious danger.

[@JP-rf8rr]

​@CrocodileWhispers If I remember right (I might not) he was part of a minority group who disliked the way the parasites were treated. They believed the stories that they were a ravaging horde taking over planets was a story made up to justify using them as slave labor. The human was an attempt to free them only to blow up and turn out the original story was true.

[@envoyeli2892]

I really like how the show expands on the source material of the comics and makes the storylines more compelling this way. You can understand Shapesmith's desire for wanting to explore the stars if given the chance, but at the same time you don't feel sorry for him since he left an innocent man to die on an alien planet and take his place, which lead to untold disasters for his people and now Earth. You can tell that he never meant any ill intentions with his actions, but it doesn't change the fact that what he did was horrible and that he never once considered the consequences of his actions.

[@andrewsung3965]

If I had a dollar for everytime ben Schwartz played a character with selfish desires yet has no consideration of the consequences

It’s funny how Shapesmith tried to elaborate on his childhood and pursuit of his dreams but just shows how self-centered he acted. That’s why no one on the team was bothered until he mentioned he left Rus to thousands of alien parasites. However, you can tell Shapesmith turned over a new leaf a little bit when becoming a hero. Even if it wasn’t intentional. I wonder what consequences he got as Cecil said.
