Anyone know what the IGF in IGF Atlas stands for? Also did they casually bring up World War 3 in Last Stand?

Ok, 2 episodes in and so far, so good. Also the music is great. It’s all super Mass Effect-y.

Kinda disappointed they hyped Adam up so much and then didn’t do anything with it. Though this show has never even been a little about relationship drama. Shiro officially being sidelined into a bigger, cooler robot was the kind of crazy last episodes are made for.

In true robot fashion, I was sure Shiro would get a white lion as the sixth ranger (though according to SRW W, that'd make him Guy Shishioh, which is a very good thing in and of itself) but I didn't expect him to just get a Macross instead. Not like I'm complaining, because gently caress yeah transforming motherships. What a crazy season. I thought it started a bit too slow but once it got going it goddamn got going and never stopped.

They did a pretty amazing job keeping those last 3 or so episodes tense all the way through, I was actually convinced the Galra were going to succeed in vaporizing Earth. Silly in retrospect but in the moment I was on the edge of my seat.

Since all the other Alteans from the colony probably still think of Lotor as a savior, I could see Haggar/Honerva telling them that Voltron killed him in order to get them to side with her and become her personal army.

Oh man they had Pidge's dad totally doing the Gendo thing in the episode with the attack Though something really bugged me about was during the battle between Earth and the Gaulra, they used the same models for the regular fighters they used for the advanced ones. It made it really confusing to know what exactly what stage of the battle they were at. \ Also RIP Veronica EDIT: Spoke to soon on the last one. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Aug 12, 2018 |

Yeah people overuse the term 'queerbaiting' a crazy amount but when you hype a guy up that much and then basically drop him immediately, it's like, the textbook definition of it. It would have been fine if they hadn't made such a big deal of it in press tours and stuff.

Man, this season went loving hard. But first, hot takes on the LGBT aspect: It was neat to make Shiro gay, but boy can you feel it was a tooth and nail fight to include. If you hadn't read up anything about this year's comic con or the lead up to the release of the season, and you were just a tad dense, you could easily believe Adam's just Shiro's super straight best hetero bro. He only gets that one scene and then two shots of Shiro mourning him. And then there's the two Galras from Lotor's entourage who became space queens. It's honestly pretty interesting how both romances were so deeply involved with death and a partner pushing life to its limits. Shiro and the buff one dying over their ambitions, but (god i wish i remembered the girls' names) the Ty Lee one still following her to their bitter end is cool, and how much they achieved, things that were truly larger than life, was interesting to see on screen. Shiro, on the other hand, just kinda left Adam behind. He never brought him up to team Voltron, and even the flashback that introduces Adam had him be a bit player to Best Son Keith. It really feels like Shiro knew he would never be able to patch things up with Adam, which is a sad way of making sense of how we find out Shiro had a boyfriend seven seasons in. Of course. That also means the mega uncomfortable point that the two LGBT relationships in the show end up with the characters super dead. And then the season ends with Hunk introducing his space rock girlfriend to his parents, Allura and Lance being strongly implied with his sister shipping them and cool edgy space girl looks at cool edgy half-space boy in the distance with a knowing smile. I'm not gonna say it's intentional, that they should've not done anything if it was gonna end up like that or that the crew deserves hate on this. But, well, not the best look. Specially not when they were pushing Adam fairly hard in the lead-up to the show. In the current climate of things, and with two dead gay relationships, this show kinda needs to push a happy gay ending somewhere to not feel... plain mean towards same sex relationships. But with that out of the way, gently caress, it's so cool how the loving Atlas became the Giantest Mech! The backhalf was tense as hell all the way through. Hell, the whole season was such a struggle from the whole cast and seeing them finally pull through with a win was incredibly satisfying. I really loved this season going back to 13 episodes because it felt like we had enough time to breathe, that gameshow episode was incredibly important, and the team stranded in space, or the two parter about what exactly earth was doing the whole time were great. And space Seinfeld. Hunk was an absolute unit all season. Allura kinda didn't get much to do at all, tho, but hey, final season has the Alteans with hyper powerful scythe-wielding-quintessence-sucking mechas, so I'm sure that'll be a thing. This team configuration we were promised since S3 finally really came together, and boy is it good. It really pays off to get Shiro out of the main roster and into a command center because, yeah, Keith is the leader, but they all see each other as equals, admire each other differently. If it had been S1 Voltron in the gameshow, they all would've voted for Shiro in final jeopardy, while he votes for his son. The new kids are also pretty cool! Quirky but nice Great season, I'm ready for the final season, tho.

Yeah I was kind of ho hum on the last two seasons but this recent one was crazy good. Lots of macross/robotech vibes and even a little Yamato (I kind of hoped the atlas would blast a ship while it was docked still).

I've been enjoying each season more than the last so far, but I found Season 7 rather disappointing. The back half felt like it didn't earn any of the plot developments.

Finally finished watching the rest of the season tonight. Yeah, holy poo poo the first half kinda drags but once they get to Earth it just goes into wrap speed. Gonna be interesting to see what other cool ships and tech the Galaxy Garrison’s gonna develop now that Earth’s basically the hub of universal civilization and has access to the rest of the Coalition’s resources like Olcari bio-tech and the Balmera. Also, since no one else has said it so far, RIP Admiral Traitor. You were kind of a stubborn bitch, and you hosed up super hard, but you made right in the end

I think I liked the slower pace of the first half of the season better. Everything from Earth on is just so rushed, it feels like two full seasons condensed into the back half of one.

It's a mashup of Seasons 7 and 8, so it's got some spoiler details on it: Colour-coded Garrison uniforms! A fuckton of new Altean characters! Slav in a Garrison uniform! A 5th member of the B-Team! Kid Lotor?! Axca and Veronica hooking up?! Robo-OG Pidge?! December's gonna be wild.

Just recently went through the entire series, as I previously had only seen the first. drat good series. First appearance of Blazing Sword had me  Bit sad that this is ending, because man I'd love like 10 more seasons of this thing.
