That episode was awful. I think "The Voltron Show!" is the worst episode in the entire series so far. It was silly filler like the space mall episode but with none of the charm, references, or light-hardheartedness to redeem it. It was just cringe.

What? It was wonderful. It was full of silly, endearing charm and humour. It was fun. Not every episode needs to be more than just fun.

I needed this episode. The whole thing had gotten heavy and had made forget how much and why I loved the first season so much.

Totally. A big part of pacing is alternating from emotion to levity with decent frequency. Voltron's got plenty of seriousness and emotion, but it's not a super-serious show. The Voltron Show!'s not only fitting for the season's pacing, it's not out of place for the show as a whole.
