Episode Observations
I’ve been watching through the series again on Netflix and I have noticed a couple things.
In the bridge episode, Allura makes reference to another kingdom on Arus called Helina and that Altair and Helina were once at war. Interesting, so Arus wasn’t always a utopia. When Allura asked which of the Voltron Force wanted to help her reenact the two lovers onthe bridge, Keith didn’t even show interest. He just said no, he’d worry about security. No love for Allura there on Keith’s part aside from doing his job. Late in that episode Lotor makes mention of wanting to make Arus great again to make Allura happy and when she threatened to kill herself, Lotor stopped making advances on her. I think that shows some form of legitimate feelings on Lotor’s part.
In the buried castle episode, Pidge meets up with a group of kids and they share a little adventure. The girl in the group is named Morgan and is the only one of the three to get a name in the episode. Pidge, who is 16, also holds her hand trying to pull her out of the castle and get her from danger. What 16 year old wants to hold hands with a little girl unless there is a little puppy love there? (Or she is his sister?) Morgan could be ten years old and when she gets old enough, she and Pidge might be good for one another.
Also in the buried castle episode, Coran makes mention of a Robot War long ago. That supports my line of thinking that Alfor wasn’t as peace loving as Allura remembers him. Why else would he have built battle lions?
Just some observations.
