I vote we change the title to the Fun Sentry Appreciation Station.OB_Juan posted:Colleen Holt Well at least she'll have her husband back soon, so progress I guess. New season was really good, lots of big things happening. I really like how killing Zarkon didn't just suddenly stop the huge evil empire, though now they seem like they're mostly busy killing each other, so that's an improvement at least. Haggar is probably going to be the biggest wild card next season since we have no idea what her goal is.

TheChirurgeon posted:As someone who watched the old series, it's also been really interesting to see how they've chosen to integrate those elements into the new series. I'm still continually wondering if they're going to kill off a paladin, which ratchets up the tension any time Shiro or Keith is in danger (I'm pretty sure Lance, Hunk, Alura, and Pidge are safe forever, though). Well something's gotta give with the whole Shire/Kuron situation. The question is, what happens with the Black Lion after that. The most obvious path would be to just have Keith come back and take over, but they already did the "something happens to Shiro, Keith pilots the Black Lion" plot, so doing it again would be a bit weird. It would be neat if they had someone else take over the Black Lion(Lance, Allura, Lotor?)

twistedmentat posted:I'm surprised Lotor hasn't betrayed them yet. He's had at least a dozen or more times to do it, but he's into playing a really long game here. I was thinking Hagar and him had something planned but it seems that no, there isn't collusion between them. There's no collusion, but Haggar seems like she's using "Shiro" to help him further his goals. Who knows why though, either she's feeling conflicted because she's slowly remembering that he's her son, or she's letting him get close to his goal before she swoops in to steal it all away from him.

MonsterEnvy posted:Why not. The Galra have tons of differences in appearance. Also given that she was in charge of that base I assume she is pure. You'd think Keith would be more purple if she was a full Galra. I guess Galra genetics are just really weird like that.

I do wish Shay would show up more. Maybe have her join the crew to help around the castle. You'd think that with the Voltron Coalition growing, they'd be able to put together some staff to help take care of the ship, but I guess Coran prefers to handle it himself.

I wonder what is going to happen with the clone when all this comes to a head. He seems like even he doesn't know he's a clone and that would make him just as much a victim of Haggar's scheme as everyone else. I also wonder if Haggar will try to get rid of Lance somehow since he's the only one who really suspects anything. Maybe try to replace him with Keith since he's so trusting of Shiro.

Welp. Lotor went full on evil. And he'll probably return as some kind of quintessence monster like his dad. Not sure what's going to happen with the Galra now though, guess Sendak is gonna take over. Can't wait for the next season, we're going back to Earth!

nine-gear crow posted:Fuckin riiiip Lotor... for now, I’m guessing. So does that makes Honerva the big bad now? She seems to cruising into the job simply by surviving everyone else dropping dead around her. I’m glad we have the real Shiro back finally and I’m super pumped for them headed back to Earth for the first time too. Well Sendak is still around, but he strikes me as more of a mid-boss. He'll probably take over the galra empire now and keep Voltron occupied while Haggar does her thing in the background. There's also Lotor's generals. I figured they would eventually join up with Voltron, but they've betrayed everyone they've ever worked for at this point, so who knows if anyone should even trust them. Lotor's probably going to come back at some point, but who knows how his time in the quintessence dimension has affected him. Also, I thought it was kind of silly that Keith randomly got aged up 2 years and got a space dog.

TheHan posted:To be fair, Keith was such a phenomenally lovely leader last time he took the helm that spending 2 years on the back of a space whale was the only way he was gonna believably come back better at it. Maybe having a dog gave him some of those Shiro dad skills. I guess, but if they had go through all that just to make Keith a less lovely leader, maybe they should have just given the job to someone else instead. Allura pretty much took charge during that last fight, give her the big cat. My favorite part of the D&D episode was how Coran seemed to have it out for Shiro. He kept killing him in cheap ways and gave him poo poo over the torches. "I feel like my character would remember to carry torches." "Oh yeah, do you have any in your inventory?" "Uhh...no?" "Well then I guess you didn't remember them, did you?"

maltesh posted:So do Galra just generally live for ten thousand years or more if not otherwise slain? Or is this specific to Lotor and his Governess? I figured Lotor lived that long because of whatever magic let Haggar and Zarkon live that long, but I guess that doesn't really explain his nanny.

You know, constantly getting bombarded with someone else's memories for 2 years has to get really old after a while. Especially once you run out of big important memories and just get a bunch of mundane stuff.

I really like how the season ended with Voltron fighting against a secret super boss out of nowhere. My guess on what's going on is that Haggar/Honerva is creating her own super army out of the Alteans from Lotor's colony.

TheHan posted:I got the impression the Altean as doing all this willingly. Had a comfy seat, controls, didn't explode her. 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.

That was a great final season. I really loved that last episode. Did anyone notice that Pidge made Vehicle Voltron in that ending montage? Also good on them for the last shot of the series being two dudes kissing.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, I'm mostly happy that it exists within the show itself... The stuff with Zethrid and Ezor really felt like a last minute change. Like, at first you think that Ezor died in that explosion from the last season and Zethrid is out for revenge but oh wait! At the last second Acxa shows up to say that Ezor is alive, she just left Zethrid because she couldn't get over her anger or something(how does Acxa know this?). Then it ends with Zethrid and Ezor getting back together, except Ezor never says anything, probably because they couldn't get her voice actor back. Like, I liked it, but it also felt like a last minute backtrack after blowing them up in the last season. Only slightly related but you'd think with all their advanced healing technology, they'd be able to do something for Zethrid's face after she joined the coalition.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, because the only reason a bunch of artists would ever want to write about gay characters is as a ratings stunt. The thing that bummed me out about that was they had Shiro hook up with some guy we've never seen before. I wonder how much of that was the show and how much was what Dreamworks or Netflix were willing to let them get away with though. There was actually a leaked screenshot posted a few months ago of Shiro's wedding, but it was with a completly different dude. Wonder if there was a whole subplot there that got cut or something.

I gotta wonder what it was like for Zarkon and Lil Lotor after Honerva appeared from an alternate universe, turned out to be crazy evil, then got involved in a giant robot fight right outside of the Altean castle, then they blinked out of existence for a few minutes. It must have been a really stressful day.

Something happens to Shiro and Keith is forced to pilot the lion, then "Shiro" comes back and Keith almost immediately bolts from the team entirely, then something happens to Shiro again and Keith just takes over the lion again without really showing any growth as a leader(other than being aged up two years I guess). Like, it wasn't a big deal, I just thought it could have been done better. Plus, I thought it would have been cool if the show had subverted expectations and given the black lion to someone else. Allura was basically leading the team by the end anyways, why not give it to her?

Lotor wanted to make the universe a better place, but Zarkon and Haggar's nightmare parenting skills hosed him up so badly that his idea of making the universe a better place involved sacrificing innocent people against their will and genociding the Galra. We even saw him trying to show Zarkon that there was a better way in that flashback to that planet he was in charge of and Zarkon's response was to just destroy the planet because Lotor dared to be nice to them.
