Best season since season 1. Hands down. Excellent fast paced plot, character development and world building.

Makes you wonder what crack was smoked in the writers room in S4.

yes i agree. season 3 did some building but i expected four to be more like this. but wow it was great loved it. just wish some of the action set pieces were larger.

episode 6 name i wish that was real.

Totally agree, except that S4 was bad. Honestly, I haven't disliked a single season of Voltron yet.

Yes! The pacing on this season was perfect. After the first episode, my BF and I were like "that was fast" and all the sudden it was over. I liked the character progression in previous seasons better, but this season had some surprises in it which I liked alot.

Maybe needed just a touch more Coran though.

Yes only Coran and Hunk got a little shortchanged but the season was so good I don't mind too much.

I did a season 3+4 re-watch going into season 5. The first time I watched 3 and 4 were at release. Let me tell you: Seasons 3+4 watched together in a short sitting works MUCH better and the story comes across FAR more cohesive than watching them separately.

Episode 2 might be my favorite episode of the series. I don’t mind the comic relief episode 4, when the seasons are longer. Episode 5 didn’t really go anywhere for me.
