Screw it, change the name to Shapesmith's show now.

I hope they do something with Shapesmith. He's okay in small doses, but I don't really like the character yet. Plus it's hard to believe that the Guardians just took him in despite knowing nothing about him.

I get that he's comic relief right now, but comic relief should still be consistent with the logic of the show. For example, the magic dog gag was excellent because it was silly and made sense in the context of the show.

What makes you think they don't?

I mean, Rex was pretty explicit that he didn't know where Shapesmith was from. Maybe it's just Rex being a moron (like usual lol), but the implication is that his background is a mystery to at least the members of the Guardians.

You could be entirely right that Cecil and/or The Immortal know exactly who Shapesmith is. That would be a great reveal and would clear up a lot of my issues with the character.
