OG Team Voltron

It really was nice to see how Team Voltron came to be. It was especially nice to see that Alfor, Zarkon, and the rest were friends before the magical, mechanical lion ships. There were 2 things in this episode that bothered me though. Like the lions basically made themselves and instantly bonded with the pilots. The OG pilots adapted to Voltron and the lions too quickly. The pacing felt rushed in that part of the backstory, but I guess you could make the excuse that since the OG pilots were already a team before Voltron that they just had more synchronization. I just think it could have been paced better.

My other complaint is about Lotor’s plan. What is his plan exactly? They said that he wants to open a transreality portal, but why? What could he possibly want with it? I guess I was expecting them to reveal Lotor’s plan, but we never really got a motive or his reasons for doing so, which kind of threw me off.

Haggar x Zarkon

It all makes sense now. We saw Haggar’s undying devotion towards Zarkon and how upset she was when Zarkon was in a coma. And apparently Haggar and Zarkon are married. But it seems that she forgot about their love life, which is interesting. The best part of their relationship is that Zarkon betrayed the trust of his friends for love. He went against them in order to save Haggar’s life, who was named Honerva before. It really is tragic. Also Zarkon’s obsession with quintessence and the Black lion finally makes so much sense and instantly improves his character.

After seeing Haggar’s past I’ve come up with a theory. Haggar’s cat looks exactly like Narti’s cat. I think Narti is a spy for Haggar. Narti is keeping an eye on Lotor for Haggar.

And speaking of Lotor, when the heck was he conceived?! Haggar and Zarkon have been alive for 10,000 years due them being overloaded with quintessence. But I hardly believe that Lotor is that old as well. Is he adopted? Well I’m pretty sure we will find out next season, because Zarkon is awake now. Incoming some heated tension.
