‘Voltron’ keeps viewers glued to seats, eager for more

    Did you miss the release of the latest season of “Voltron: Legendary Defender” on Netflix? Don’t worry, I did too. Thankfully, this and the latter seasons have been shorter runs, so we have seven new episodes to binge and catch up with the Paladins of Voltron.
    Lotor and Allura are getting rather chummy as they work together to build a new ship to better fight the Galra Empire, which is fracturing further due to lack of central leadership. Lance is tormented by his unrequited feelings for Allura. Shiro struggles with his growing certainty that something isn’t right within himself. Hunk receives an education on Galra culture and is able to better cooperate with friendly Galra soldiers. And across the galaxy, Keith is working side by side with his long-lost mother to get through a quantum abyss and find an Altean on the other side, which shouldn’t be possible. And the ending of this season teases a huge moment the Paladins have no doubt been waiting for for years.
    This season is packed to the brim with good stuff. There’s a Dungeons & Dragons-esque episode. There are epic space battles. There’s love and loss. Flashbacks, flash-forwards, time dilation. Comedy, tears, betrayal and reunion. And this is all in a children’s program.
