#the sadistic part of my brain collides with protective mama

[chibi-pix]

Ah, another night of watching Voltron Force (2011) has me loving Vince more and more!  Anyway! Tonight was episodes 4 through 6. Just a few, yes, I know. Anyway! Shall we get this started?

Episode 4.  Lance: Is this the kind of science that can smash, burn, and/or explode? Pidge almost sounding annoyed: Yes. I don’t know why this had me amused so much. It just did. And I adored seeing Pidge work with the monitors. And then Coran coming in for a crash landing. At first I was worried about him. But that hastiness he showed in wanting to get to the control room. Sus. Among Us brain is calling him an impostor. Though the team leaving the cadets in “Coran” ‘s care, my brain went “Coran, Coran, the babysitting man!”.  Vince also acting weird with hearing a voice and glowy. Something is up. And I’m both excited for and worried about my baby boy.  I was hoping when they found out about that not being Coran, Vince would shock him. But the audible whimper-gasp that I made when he was blasted. I mean, I know I want Vince whump, but seeing it actually hurts. Precious baby... And then Vince having that trance moment. And seeing Alfor ghosty? And a weird emblem thing to put with his voltrcom was intriguing.  Also. Keith and Lance suck at teamwork. At least the others have their backs.  And my amusement at Coran holding roboCoroan’s head. “My, that’s... unsettling.

Okay, time for episode five! “We’re being treated like kids!” Um... Daniel? Darling? You are kids? Right? I mean, you can’t be older than sixteen, right? I’d venture more at fifteen. Which is amusing because VLD Pidge is apparently fifteen. Oh, a crossover with that would be amusing and them seeing a kid piloting a lion. And then deciding to head to Doom. That’s a horrible idea. You don’t have a full team, you’re just starting out.  And Lotor. Giant. Buff. Angry. And covered in gross glowing purple pustules. Don’t do drugs, kids, or you end up like Lotor. And try not to be reanimated from the dead, either. That doesn’t go well. Ever. Twasn’t a surprise when the kids got captured. And Maahox... the dude is a bundle of heebies and jeebies! A full set! And Vince’s voltcom reacting to the haggarium... I know I want whump, but don’t hurt my precious baby boy!  Oh look, Lotor is still a creeper wanting Allura.  “Too late for the heads up, trying to avoid the heads off.” I love the humour in this series. It has my highly amused and grinning.  One of them. WHAT IS VINCE!? Though... no spoilers. This is just my brain screaming. “You’ll pass out long before we get to the really painful tests.” Maahox... your attempt at being comforting was not comforting.  At least Larmina wrecked Maahox. Good hit!  Time to escape and steal some Haggarium!  I’m going to be honest. I was hoping Vince could do something again to help Voltron in their fight against Lotor, especially after Lotor literally cut the lions up! How is that a thing!?  WHat I did not expect, though, was Vince making Voltron rearrange itself! “Um, did you guys know that Vince glows?” Lance is definitely caught off guard.  I loved Lotor getting shot by Lance’s Voltron guns. Then Lotor being rereanimated. “-destroy Voltron!” Bonks into glass. Perfection.

Now onto episode 6! I thought Hunk was building a hot rod. But it’s just a really cool grill! Until it incinerated the food. Then got blown up when it went haywire and left the castle. ka-BOOM.  Vince trying to train with his powers... and he has no confidence. Poor baby... and it’s not going well. At least it was a simulator and they weren’t truly in danger.  And Hunk feels left out. He doesn’t have a cadet and Lance and Keith are like a couple of dads or something getting after their risk taking son.  But at least Hunk gets to bond with the kids! And I’m glad he found a way to bond with Larmina, especially music. Bonding through music is a wonderful thing!  “The rules are there are no rules! Except don’t kill each other.” C’mon, Hunk, where’s the fun in that? At least Mama always told my siblings and me to try not to leave bloodstains in the house.  Wadbot robeast is a bad thing. And I think Hunk called Pidge “pigeon”? Right before Pidge pointed out that he was a genius.  In the end, it was nice seeing the cadets bond with Hunk more, even showing him their lair. Such a happy episode.  Also, the bonding of trying to wreck each other and then destroy wadebots? So much fun! Beats a food fight.

Anyway! I’m pleased with watching this show. It has me amused. Sometimes I sit and wonder “how have I not watched this sooner? Or when it came out?” But then I remembered the year. 2011. I didn’t have access to cartoon channels in my room. That explains it.  I’m still left with some questions. But some of the bigger ones. Just how old are these kids and do their parents, especially Vince and Daniel’s, know where they’re at?! What their kids are doing? I mean, Lance practically just kidnapped them and took them to Arus! 

Okay, that’s it for the night. I hope y’all enjoy this next part of Chibi watches.  Until next time!
