Trent totally deserves better than being Mandy’s intern, or should I say, personal slave. After all he has done, she only gave him mean verbal assaults and physical pain (ear pinching and carrying him away). In “Trent Goes Wild”, Mandy maintained her angry attitude throughout the whole episode even though Trent turned into a human-like scorpion seeking revenge. She didn’t even apologize for the mistreatment she always gave him. If only Sam, Clover, and Alex or even Dean Franklin had stepped up and saved Trent from Mandy’s authority.
If “Totally Spies!” had a seventh season, Trent would no longer be following Mandy’s non-stop orders and enjoying more free time. In addition, Mandy should be nice towards Trent after all of the thankless servitude she had put him through. If she continues to blow off steam towards Trent, he’d report her to Dean Franklin.
Trent is a really great guy, not a college servant who gets yelled at or a beat-up punching bag for a spoiled college student.

Imagine Dean Franklin punishing Mandy for being a mean boss and permanently relieving Trent from his duties.

Serves Mandy right for being a wrathful, immoral, and uncaring boss towards her hardworking, productive, and dedicated intern, Trent.

TRENT IS NO SERVANT!!!
I absolutely hope Trent gets more than enough character development in the upcoming seventh season. His days as a college intern would be history, gain a new level of courage, and have all the freedom he truly deserves. As for Mandy, I anticipate that she displays character growth (more anger management and less raging behavior) especially around Trent.

My Thoughts on Lotor 24 Hours Later
I still think there was some wasted potential with Lotor and don’t like the Altean reveal, but looking back on it Lotor’s arc in this season was actually really good.
Lotor never actually betrayed the Paladins. Even in the end after the Altean reveal and his subsequent kidnapping he still wanted to work with the paladins. He wouldn’t let his generals shoot at the paladins even when the paladins were shooting at them because he truly did want to work with them. Lotor viewed what he was doing as right. By his logic he sacrificed the few to save the many, he was still working for peace. When Allura finally said he was worse than his father Zarkon he snapped. His whole life he had been fighting to be free of his father, free from the prejudice he was put through for not being a pureblood galra, free from the neglect and abuse his parents put him through. He believed he was alone. Because of everyone rejecting him he started isolating himself even from his generals, who he viewed as similar to him because they weren’t pureblood. Allura was up to that point the only person who understood him and was the only thing keeping the quintessence poisoning from taking hold of him. He had been exposed to quintessence from birth, initially to save his mother while she was pregnant, and later of his own free will to find a limitless power source. Allura’s rejection was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Lotor’s general, Acxa, looked sad when Lotor finally broke and it made me feel like she was seeing someone who had tried to fight his whole life finally losing the battle. All of the hatred he felt towards his parents and the galra for their abuse finally got to him and he gave into it. He had nothing left to lose in his mind. Fighting against his anger wasn’t worth it if even when trying to be better he ended up alone.
This honestly made him tragic. He couldn’t escape his upbringing. It was sad that through his constant rejection he grew to block people out and when he finally let someone in and they rejected him too it led to his breaking point. He was rejected by his father for being to soft, he was rejected by his mother through neglect, he was rejected by his “people” because of his heritage, and he was finally rejected by Allura because he was what his upbringing made him. Lotor was a victim of his own upbringing and isolation. It doesn't excuse what he did, but it highlights the tragedy of his story.
This. I understand that people want a redemption arc, but they can't erase what Lotor has done. Erasing what he has done takes away from the complexity of the character. I want a redemption arc as well. A redemption arc isn’t about being innocent all along. It’s about someone learning from their mistake, acknowledging they were wrong, and moving in the right direction. I'm also fine with Lotor ending up a villain because he seems like someone who took his goal too far and those characters make some of the most complex villains. He was also a character bound for tragedy in one way or another. Many people, including myself, feel like they didn't take enough time to explore those complexities that could make him either a hero or a villain before making him into a zarkon 2.0 and that was disappointing. I liked the idea behind what the voltron writing team was going for, but found the execution somewhat lacking.
I'm certain they aren't done with Lotor because of all the plot points and reveals surrounding his character and past in seasons 5 and 6. Hagar had just found a cure for quintessence poisoning right before Lotor himself fell victim to it. It wouldn't make sense to completely discard of him after all the set up they created. I hope they explore more of the complexity of his past and character in the future.
My problem with the whole #justiceforlotor tag going around on tumblr and twitter is that I wish it focused more on his wasted potential as a character rather than advocating for his innocence. I agree that he is a victim of his parents and his terrible upbringing, but his crimes are still pretty heinous, so he’s far from innocent at this point. If anything I just wish the wording on the photo was less “Lotor is innocent give him a redemption arc!” and more “Lotor is a very nuanced, morally ambigous character who deserves more screen time to show that, and shouldn’t have been turned into Zarkon 2.0 for shock value.”
This is what frustrated me the most about how season 6 ended. It seemed the power struggle that has been happening since the end of season 2 was completely forgotten, so that the Paladins could go back to earth. The paladins so far have failed to see the bigger picture, they look at all the small scale injustices and don’t even think as to why they came about only that they are wrong. With Lotor they lost the only chance they had of stopping the Galra without completely destroying them and the empire. This is an empire where all the subjects have been taught victory or death from a young age, now that voltron has disposed of not one but two of their leaders especially one who trusted them they will undoubtedly view them as public enemy number one. Voltron has also given Sendak a point that he can rally the Galra behind him with, that voltron is evil and must go. What the paladins fail to realize is the effect their crusade has on not just planets under Galra rule, but the Galra themselves. They have now made it so as long as Lotor is gone they have no means to stop the Galra without excessive force and to wipe them out. The Galra will not let Voltron dismantle their empire until their dying breath. Right now voltron has lost their option that keeps them in the moral “white”.
Even at the start of the season when Lotor tells the empire he is their ruler and that he will bring peace Lance immediately asks him if he will free the planets from Galra control now, but Lotor can’t do that. This situation doesn’t have a quick fix. If Lotor just started freeing planets right when he seized control he would lose the faith of the entire empire and would probably be labelled a traitor instead of their leader. Lotor voiced to Allura that he believed that the Galra and planets they had control of could live together in peace and it would be mutually beneficial to both societies. His story to Allura in Alderan would have been the perfect way to slowly integrate peace and freedom in the galaxy which would be based on the exchange of goods rather than the forceful taking of them. This could then branch out into the Galra having no real control of the planets they trade/buy from getting rid of the empire’s totalitarian reign. Lotor’s thinking in this instance was right, but the paladins don’t want to have to wait for peace or gradual change and that is their true shortcoming.
It’s kind of sad that we haven’t gotten to see the paladins learn that they can’t force change throughout an entire galaxy that has run the way it has for thousands of years and that not everything is black and white in war. Even the blade of marmora are only accepted by the paladins because they outright oppose the empire through force instead of looking at the people who try to instigate change from within.
Alright. I’m going there. I’m gonna say what a lot of people are too scared to admit:
Allura made the wrong choice.
There’s a lovely theory out there about how Lotor may not have been harvesting quintessence from the colony Alteans, and the Paladins jumped to conclusions. I love that theory, but I’m going to take it a step further. Even if Lotor WAS harvesting quintessence, the Paladins were still in the wrong.
Allura opposed the idea of harvesting quintessence in the name of saving lives. But she actually only saved the few Altean lives of those who had yet to have their quintessence harvested. And she sentenced probably millions more people to death, and even more to suffering. With Lotor gone and his quintessence plan shut down, the war is going to continue, and it’s not going to be pretty.
Let’s think about the Galra. They just lost their emporer AGAIN. There’s going to be another Kral Zera, and I think we all know who’s going to become emporer: Sendak. Lotor failed, proving that trusting a half-galra as their emporer was a great mistake. Likewise, people are not likely to trust the generals who had sided with Lotor. They’re going to turn to the “purest galra” to lead them back into prosperity.
Yes, there will be some that continue their loyalty to Lotor, but in that case who is their biggest enemy? Who took down their beloved emperor not once, but twice? Yep, it’s Voltron. This also gives Sendak a chance to reunite the people under a common enemy. Regardless of if he does this, though, Voltron is back to being public enemy number 1, and Sendak is sure to continue a Galran reign of terror.
There will be people lost in the Galran conquest, lost in the Galra fighting each other based on their loyalties, and lost in Voltron fighting back. Not to mention that we don’t even know how much longer all of this is going to continue. So many more people are going to die, when Lotor had a plan to end it all for good at the cost of only a few lives in comparison.
Did he go about it the wrong way? Absolutely. I personally think he should have been up-front with the Alteans. Let them CHOOSE to be the sacrifices, not trick and force them into it. But he really was working for the sake of saving as many lives as possible, whereas Allura allowed her feelings about her heritage drive her to drag out the suffering of the universe.
Honestly I’m not sure why so many people are against this thinking. We’ve already seen in the other reality that she’s perfectly capable of doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
I'm almost 100% sure that Derek being tempted by looking at Paige instead of Jennifer in 6x20 would make much more sense....
Thinking about this again after watching the latest episode:(
What well happen to Sushi?????!
