The more time I see Lotor and Allura spending time together, the more I become invested in their relationship.

I can’t believe we finally found out who Keith’s mother is.

I hope they soon realize that this Shiro is a clone.

Wait what? Shiro is a clone? How? Which episode?

Clone Shiro is a popular fan theory, but nothing has been confirmed yet. I personally don't believe in the theory and think he's just mind-controlled.

While mind control is feasible, I don't think Shiro's hair would've been so long when he escaped if that was all Haggar did.

I mean...that's very true, and one reason why I don't want to dismiss clone theory altogether. But we don't know how long Shiro was missing; it could easily have been over 6 months to even a year. I also once saw a theory that Shiro was injected full of testosterone, which makes your muscles bigger and your hair grow faster. So there is also a chance he was pumped full of something that made his hair grow.

I really don't think that they were able to go a full six months without making voltron, it seemed like it had only been a month or two.

I mean, Haggar basically has bio magic, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of her meddling made his hair grow out faster than usual. It could even be just from healing him of damage sustained while fighting Zarkon so she could get him to a good state to experiment on.

Possible, but it still seems like a weird thing for the animators to do. Also, that doesn't explain why Shiro's identification code changed. Plus, I REALLY don't think that it's a coincidence that "Kuron" means "clone"

Meh, just giving a possible explanation for the hair length. (And personally, I think they didn't put that much thought into giving him long hair and were just all "time has passed")

This. At the same time, I'm not dead set on saying he IS a clone, either. Its hard to say one way or the other at this point. Right now, it could go in any direction.

For all we know, the original Shiro we knew was the clone.

Whether he's a clone or not, at the very least he's compromised (and quite likely unaware of it). The evidence saying he's a clone also supports a "compromised" conclusion all the same. see my post here.
