Yes! I'm curious about how they will handle the Lotor/Allura meeting, since that was such a key part of the original, and that attraction was the main motivation for his character. It will be interesting to see if it plays out the same, or if his interest in her is purely manipulative! Also super curious about Keith's background. This could also be a point of contention for Lotor's character development. You know, jealousy of one paladin instead of attraction for the other.
 
Overall, I'm really happy with Lotor's character. Not weirdly over-the-top like he was in the original (though I still liked him then). Has lots of promise to be a good villain!! I was so glad he didn't turn out to be all soft and friendly to the team! lol! 
 
I guess I was rooting for another Part 1 Itachi! 

You too?! I was thinking the same, I have been enjoying how well they have taken care of Voltron with more story and purposes than in the original. I have so many questions for Lotor about his mother if they are gonna keep it or alter it a bit, his attraction for Allura will it be romantic or respect to see her as a rival, his relationship with Keith and how will it change. I'm curious about Shiro as well on his role with Voltron.

So season 4 will premiere in October? That will explain why season 3 only had seven episodes they divided season 3 overall into two parts.

Yup. It's pretty obvious too, with the way season 3 ended all of a sudden.

I must be the only one hoping for them to change things up a bit by having Lotor chase after Pidge. I've seen spoilers for next season and that the Holt reunion will occur somewhere in the season. If Matt does join the crew, then Katie could grow her hair out with the help of some Altean magical hair growth serum so the crew can be sure to differentiate them. Then Lotor meets her.

With Lotor's creepy advances, it would be funny as heck that she keeps hiding behind Lance for some reason. It'd turn into a wacky love triangle which I'm all for.

Besides, Lance did call her cute when he saw her photo.

Lance: *sees Pidge with her original look* Pidge, is that you?
Pidge: Of course, it's me! You dummy!!
Lance: No, it's just that...it suits you more. You're cute, you know that?
Pidge: W-Wha!! No way!! I am not falling for it!!
Lance: Say what you want, but you can't deny that I'm a honest man when it comes to girls *grins*
Pidge: *tases Lance*
Lance: Yaargh!!

*Matt squints back and forth between Katie and Lance*

Another lover of Lance x Katie? Brother!

Oh yea asides from Keith/Allura I also shipped Lance/Pidge.

Same here, I support both Kallura and Plance along with Hunk x Shay.   Though, I'm fine with Plance being either platonic or romantic.

So, anyone watched the new season?

I'm gonna give my overall thoughts on Keith's development. I think this is a good direction to take for his character. First, just because the Black Lion chose him, doesn't necessarily mean that he's up to the job. Keith being the leader is something Shiro wanted, not what Keith wanted. Shiro comes off as a jerk in this respect. He didn't take the time to consider Keith's mental-preparedness for the job.

Second, Kolivan offers something Shiro can't. A different perspective and style. Just from the first episode alone, it's clear where the differences between him and Keith lie. Keith can learn the more pragmatic side of things, while staying true to his ideals. His clashing POV with Kolivan allows Keith to be more assertive, as opposed to being with Shiro and following his orders. On top of that, Kolivan goes with the "tough love" approach, and he will not hesitate to criticize him harshly. Shiro's more fatherly approach doesn't work to mold him into a leader.

Third, this temporary transfer to BoM can actually give him time to think about his identity and where he fits into all this, what with his Galra heritage and all. I have a suspicion Kolivan is linked to Keith's mother, and he'll tell him about who he actually is.

P.S.: Wasn't expecting Matt to basically be Lance 2.0, This does open up a lot of interpretation on Katie's relationship with Lance and how she sees him.

[RyohkiFan]

That last part of Matt...made alot of sense lol

Tomorrow, I may end up typing what I thought of it

[tricksie]

It's so good! Still loving it!

Finally saw season 4 and what a twist. I never thought Lotor would join the good guys. Plus I like Keith working for the Blade of Marmota and Shiro back to being the pilot of the Black Lion. Though eventually I know he will die with Keith returning as the pilot.

Well, it's hinted at both in this season as well as WoG that the Shiro who returned isn't actually the original Shiro.   It's highly possible that he's either a clone created by Zarkon (maybe meant to infiltrate the castle as an oblivious sleeper agent) or even a dimensional counterpart.

In other words the real Shiro is dead.

Most likely.  With the creators teasing at it in the interview and "Shiro's" mysterious memory flashes, it's a distinct probability.

Who's hype for season 5 premiere this Friday?!

I'm hyped as hell since I want to see if Lotor is actually going to become a member of the Blades of Mamorra while Keith returns to Team Voltron (in retrospect, Lotor and his crew would make a better fit for the Blades). I just hope that the episodes of this season aren't split in half again.

Well damn, the writers know how to keep fans guessing in the long term. Who would've thought they'd have a Galra free-for-all. Lotor is easily one of the most unpredictable villains I've seen here, and you can't guess what he really is thinking. At times, you think he's actually being somewhat genuine, but at the same time there's layers beneath that facade. If anything, I see Lotor as a more talented politician and negotiator than leader.

Shiro is a Manchurian agent (which is not that surprising), confirmed.

And now we know where Keith gets his good looks from. I'll laugh if Lance tries to hit on Krolia.

"Dude, she's my mother."
"WHAT!!?"

EDIT: Forgot to add, I'm liking Kolivan more as Keith's mentor. Him telling to keep his emotions in check while sending him straight to his mother is such a mentor-like thing to do.

It's also becoming obvious that Lotor is hoping to exploit Allura's abilities for his ultimate benefit while skillfully playing on her sentimentality due to their shared origins.

Yep I don't trust Lotor at all. He's always being a villain just like his father. Guess we'll have to wait for season 6 to find out.
