Hmm pretty stupid to let that be astronaut free like that. I get that he's been through a lot but he's still a potential danger

I also don't really understand their treatment of Shapesmith. I get their desperate for quality heroes but he's a pretty huge fuck up, and that poor astronaut didn't deserve this at all

Also I as wrong last week. They did have a tank it was Rex the whole time

I swear Cecil and the Pentagon do so many dumb things. That Astronaut should be through a exhaustively thorough health check in a contained room, and he should not have to clean up his apartment. They should have a hazmat team doing that stuff, or give him a damn new place to live where he's monitored for any health changes.

between cecil and donald being involved with everything im convinced the entire pentagon staff consists of just them and like 3 other guys, all the employees you see working there are just watching youtube videos or something

I guess they're so strapped for heroes they kinda need everyone they can get. And dude wants to help, so it works out.

I don't know why, but I expected them to give him to the Martians. Justice is justice.

I’m actually shocked they not only saved him but let him stay on the team after that

i think they are literally so low on heroes that even though Shapesmith is dumb and dishonest and weird, he has been honest about wanting to be a hero who helps people and his powers have proven useful. also most teams just operate on a 'no man left behind' mentality
