#episode one & 2 of s5 is very pidge centric

[obstinaterixatrix]

im trying 2 decide if i wanna watch more voltron bc i left off abt halfway thru s4 but the only thing ive seen beyond Keith's Hot Mom is ur post just now abt lotor is it still as mediocre as its been or is there stuff Worth Watching

if you watch the scenes in the trailers that’s like……….. 90% of the content I, personally, was interested in.

there is:

1) lance weapon upgrade (glad he’s getting Validated, but Why Couldn’t This Happen In An Interesting Situation Instead Of Just Something During Training)

2) Lance + Pidge + Hunk have fun with a new robo friend

3) Thats Basically It but hold on I’m gonna add links & also to the tags which I can’t do from mobile all in one sitting brb

ok all good

#it’s exactly as mediocre as s4 #vtlb #voltron spoilers #orlbs #ask #hirokiyuu #k so I *will* say that basically every time lance is onscreen tgis season He Is Incredibly Valid #episode one & 2 of s5 is very pidge centric #if I’m #remembering the episodes right #but there’s just so much lot/or #so for me it was exhausting #the fun robo sentry scene is like #there’s more to it & it was cute but #1) very handwavy of AI & Autonomy considering they just kinda reprogram it #2) sandwhiched between TWO OTHER Big Important Serious Plots #it’s an episode with three subplots and #damn tgis is getting too long. I’m tired. #episodes 1 & 2 & 5 but also there’s just so much ltor in all of them #I don’t remember which ep this is in but one also starts with a nice ‘lance misses home’ moment. It’s probably episode.... 4...... yea #ep 6 is. god. so much ltor. and basically ALL the allura scenes are with ltor except for the one lance one. #but there’s a moment in the middleish where shiro & lance have a 30 second scene that’s nice #but ltor just never shuts up. hes always there & talking. he had 1 cool line but it’s him that says it so

Voltron S8 Review (part 1)

*comes in late with starbucks* I might as well go through with this till the end even though I had no motivation to watch this season lol

(Like last season this will be split into two parts for my own sanity)

Episode 1: What a cute start to the season. Something wholesome before shit breaks the fan. Pretty much everyone gets downtime before heading off for their final mission to end the war (Yes hello, writers? GIVE SHIRO DOWNTIME TO BE WITH HIS LOVED ONES PLS AND TY). Shout out to Colleen for being a mother and grounded Pidge bc she ran away to be a space soldier xD I loved seeing the two butt heads lolol. Nadia and Pidge are absolute weebs and I love them. Pidge is also a true chaotic neutral omg, using her autographs as a bartering tool. And hot damn was Allura’s outfit they bought on point, I need to see her in more Earth outfits. I’m just gonna put it out there, I don’t really ship Allurance, but their scene together was cute. I think that it’s important for Allura to remember that no matter what and where they are, Team Voltron is still a family.

Highlights: PIGTAIL PIDGE, wingman Hunk, Romelle “I wasn’t aware humans could float”, Coran being a responsible(?) guardian, Keith comforting Lance?? my heart??

My gamer heart is forever sad they had to trade away Killbot Phantasm 26 ;A;

Episode 2: Haggar/Honerva pov 👀 About time lol. The holes about her past, what happened to her after s5, and the Altean colony were filled in this episode. And I was right, Honerva was pregnant when she went into the quintessence field ◉_◉ My only question is if OG Haggar was the only one that knew she was the empress?? That doesn’t make much sense, I would have assumed more people would’ve known that. And what a... complicated family they were. There’s Zarkon, the iron fist and cold father, Haggar/Honerva who doesn’t even remember she’s Honerva, and Lotor who’s just trying to gain his own footing within the empire. The flashbacks really made me understand why Lotor was so resentful to his father and the Galra :c I did note how smol Lotor still parroted his father, it makes me thinking about how Galra his actions are even though he tries to reject that side of his heritage. And I guess I kinda have empathy for Honerva, as she regained her memories and realized all the awful things she’s done to her son, but it was too late to really do anything about it.

Highlight: BABY LOTOR

Episode 3: Hey it only took 3 episodes to form Voltron this time lol. It was interesting seeing how Team Voltron would bring the Galra to their side, though I guess this was an easier mission since them and Warlord Lahn had been allies at one point. And girl yas, Allura not backing down to Lahn’s snappy response to her attempts to empathize was beautiful and needed. Like this isn’t a comparison on who’s life was shittier and it was very in-character for Allura to not stay quiet about it.

Shout out to Kosmo for being on guard duty and also saving lives. Such a good girl. Speaking of which, why didn’t they have Kosmo get Keith and Lahn out?? Would’ve been so much simpler lol.

Also Keith, why did you put the two drama queens together

Episode 4: Eyyy a Pidge-centric episode, it’s been a while. Don’t have much to say since the episode was pretty straight forward, but I really liked Allura giving guidance to Pidge on how to connect with Okarion. I hope the Okari are safe!!

Episode 5: It was upon this episode that I realized I probably should’ve rewatched the series before the final season came out lol. The entire time I kept thinking WHO IS THIS PERSON I PROBABLY KNOW YOU. I had only a vage memory of space pirates lol but I at least had a hunch it was Zethrid. I think the writers were poking fun at those who thought both Zethrid and Ezor died last season lol, but they never explained what happened between them!! Why did Acxa know so much and where did Ezor come from?? Were they together this whole time with Ezor invisible??? I am a ball of confusion

Highlights: Iverson with the pup!! That alone could save the universe. Acxa bonding(?) with the Garrison cadets. Imagining smol Lance bringing in animals to keep (◕‿◕✿) Also Lance being really good with geography and directions!

Episode 6: This show needs to stop giving me so many heart attacks. Turns out Honerva is breaking reality itself to bring Lotor back such a good mom I guess. It makes me wonder if what happened to Zarkon and Honerva also happened to Lotor. How long has he been in the quintessence field? Why don’t we see his perspective during the episode? How is Team Voltron going to defeat Honerva when she’s so OP that she can even control Lotor’s robeast? I’m also scared for Allura :<

Shout out to that one Altean that was like “something’s not right.” Well no shit Sherlock.
