» » Voltron: Legendary Defender Tears of the Balmera (2016–2018)

Short summary

Hunk and Coran try to retrieve a new crystal from the Balmera while the rest of the team work to prevent Sendak from leaving the castle with Voltron.

When Katie Holt becomes Pidge in order to re-enter the Academy facility (during a flashback Pidge is having on the ship), there is a scene where she refuses to bond with her new team. As she leaves the room, there is a wall behind her that says F5 Faculty Offices. The faculty listed are: Iverson, M. (Script Coordinator Mitch Iverson ), Dos Santos, J. (Executive Producer, Director, and Show Runner Joaquim Dos Santos ), Ryu, K. (Supervising Editor and Director Ki Hyun Ryu ), and Hedrick, T (Writer Tim Hedrick ).

    A solid payoff indeed, bringing the team together and injecting some nice action into the mix. All of this without Voltron (again) but it more than makes up for that in character development for Pidge.

    Any wheel-spinning that was the prior episode is pretty much forgotten here. The team is intact, and they're back on terra firma.

    Plot; Hunk and Coran attempt to find a new crystal while Pidge attempts to rescue the rest of the team and stop Sendak from stealing Voltron.

    So far this rebooted version of Voltron has only worked in fits and starts; though I appear to be in the minority in believing this if the gushing reviews are any indication. But here we see things finally start to click a bit more consistently, and the methodically laid track--some may say a bit too methodically--finally starts to have some payoff. I wasn't quite sure about Pidge's surprise reveal in episode 3 *spoiler* that he is actually she, but with the backstory fleshed out it's actually an intriguing device with some interesting dramatic possibilities. The humor continues to land with a wet thud, but it's mostly relegated to Hunk and Coran, and if the story and drama continue to build upon this episode, it'll be but a minor complaint.
