Let’s get this out of the way up front: I’m… conflicted about Honerva. I think she was an AMAZING fucking villain, and that in the end she did get kind of a very tiny redemption arc. I mean, it restored the whole multiverse, you don’t get much more redemption’d than that.
HOWEVER: I am not real sure I am on board with her motivation as presented. It’s a refreshing change from the usual conquest-and-total-dominion villain shit, but… eeeeeeeehhh just my onion but I wasn’t really feeling it.
I would have been happier if Honerva’s redemption hadn’t taken Allura out with it. :(
But we got Good Guy Zarkon x2 back.
So… was Lotor really actually alive, or was he a quintessence zombie or some shit? The one shot where we actually see his physical body and not just SIncline wrecking shit, he uh… didn’t look so good.
I confess to very nearly ragequitting at the first episode. Here’s Shiro giving a speech! Here’s the Wall of Dead People, omg they’re actually going to remember that Adam existe–OH FUCK YOU!
No, I am glad I stuck with it, really, but FUCKING SANDA, REALLY?
I love that Kincade got a whole episode. I like him. I like him a lot.
He and Hunk need to get together and start a craft brewery. TEAM YEAST NERDS
I do not love that we never got Keith and Griffin either working their shit out or throwing hands on the training deck or both. Also wish Leifsdottir had more screen time, because I love her.
Of course Shiro is going to throw the fuck down in an arm-wrestling tournament.
OH HEY WARDEN. OH HEY LAIKA THE YUPPER
I am so glad Slav got so much screen time. I love that little shit.
THEY UNBURIED ZETHRID AND EZOR. Okay, crew, I’m going to take back a few things I said after S7.
Veronica and Acxa: oh no I ship it
Well, the Altean Lance artists are probably happy right now! Okay yeah actually that was pretty sweet.
*deep inhale*
y’all know what’s coming, don’t you
On the one hand: did Shiro’s husbando ever get a fuckin’ name? He got like two or three lines, and no interaction with him that I remember?
Though I do recall seeing him on the bridge and thinking “…hmmmmm new hot guy on the bridge?”
On the other: THEY SHOWED THE FUCKING KISS
THEY SHOWED
THE FUCKING
KISS
OKAY I MEAN SURE IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THEY SHOWED THE FUCKING KISS ON SCREEN okay so I’m not going to take back all the things I said after S7 but shit man sure I’ll take back a few more of them, we’re cool
Also… yep, Shiro has a Type, doesn’t he?
