Only watched through episode 5, here are some preliminary thoughts before I crash for the night:

-- I'm a sucker for cartooning meta-jokes, so everything about Eighties Voltron being an in-universe fictional retelling of Reboot Voltron is precious and wonderful. Pidge being annoyed at her portrayal! "Allura's, uh...different." Amazing.

-- Humans have rebuilt enough culture to have functioning animation studios, but we're still using the barter system instead of currency? I'm dubious.

-- Underwhelmed by Allura's date dress. At least Lance had a good dressy-casual look.

-- Everything about Lotor's backstory was sad and depressing, as intended.

-- I know people have called Axca/Keith foreshadowing, but so far Axca and Lance's sister have more chemistry.

-- I'm so happy that Purple Jasper and Twi'lek Ty Lee are okay, and reunited, all in the most dramatic and emotional and as-gay-as-possible-without-an-actual-kiss way. Excellent scene to end my night on.
