A longer season this time for the Netflix reboot of the legendary Lion robot and his paladins.
Numbering 13 episodes, that is about double of season 6 which counted only 7 episodes.
The season starts with the group, having to abandon the castle and travel in the lions alone with their passengers and pets, being accidentally minituarized. They manage to revert the effects, and travel to a base that once belonged to the Paladins, but while abandoned they come under attack. Stuck far from home, and in a perilious situation, Coran is the one hope they have to get out.
Together with some unlikely allies, they get out, but find themselves suddenly trapped in a strange gameshow with more on the line then simple prizes. But this turns out to actually be a strong interdimensional being, testing their worth. Stuck in the void of space, they find their resolve as a team agin, and allowing them to form Voltron once again. Jumping through an energy field, they arrive back in our milky way.
But Earth has been attacked and overrun by the Gal'Ra, even though under the guidance of Pitch's dad they tried to prepare to no avail. But as Earth is being run over, the paladin's arrive. They join the battle to save Earth from being annihilated, but they have been betrayed and the enemy was waiting for them. This results in Voltron being severly hit, and the paladins captured. As a result, Shiro launches earth's final hope, the Atlas. A massive battleship retroengineered from Althean technology, it allows them together with Voltron to drive off the invaders.
But the Gal'ra unleash their planet shattering device, so while the lions and the Atlas do their best to hold it off, Shiro infiltrates the enemy command ship to destroy the weapon from within. He confronts the enemy lord on the falling command vessel, as the lions try to avoid it crashing in an inhabited area. Together with Keith he finally ends the reign, as a meteor seems crashing towards Earth. This turns out to be a huge Gal`ra robot suit, causing Voltron to reveal another weapon in it's arsenal... but is defeated never the less. And then Shiro unleashes the full power of the crystal from the former Lion castle, causing the Atlas to transform in a gigantic robot itself.
So this was a good season, especially the second part was really tense when the battle came to earth, and very enjoyable to watch.
Now all that remains of the reboot is the final 8th season...
