I just watched the first episode last night, and it was pretty cool :tu:  I may watch some more in a bit while enjoying a late night snack.

The second I saw it I added it to my list, but I have yet to watch it.  So far all I've heard has been good so I have high hopes!

I'll watch it with the boys tonight. Never saw it growing up. Stuck with transformers, gobots, etc. didn't know there would be a reboot but I'll check it out.

Oh, I think I still have the original cats at my parents place in the attic.  I should get them dug out.

I liked it as a kid, but I'm not sure I actually had any of the toys :think:

I had the toys at one point,  although I was hoping for the car version.

This is in my queue to watch,  the teaser looked good

I never really cared for the car one.  Seemed odd to need like 300 people to work together to form Voltron.

Found out my daughter had been watching it without me!  I'm now playing catch up.  Fun so far.

:ahhh I loved Voltron. I brained my brother with the black lion trying to get it to fly when we were little. He still has a scar on his forehead from it...... ::)

So I'm guessing you have fonder memories of Voltron than he does. ;)

There aren't many excuses for child abuse, but I believe that is one of them if I'm not mistaken.  :P

LOL!!  :D

Maybe it's just because I've been doing a bit of binge watching of The Clone Wars on Netflix.  Love that one!!

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through season 2, so luckily I still have a good amount to watch.

Yeah they could have carried on with Clone Wars...

Sadly they ditched it for Rebels, which I don't entirely hate, but it definitely is not the same grit that Clone wars was.

I was really hoping they'd do the Detours thing... that looked funny, even if it's all cliche humour...

That would be awesome indeed, although it seems like just a slightly more family friendly and CGI version of Robot Chicken's Star Wars stuff.  In fact, I recognized many of the same voice actors- Breckin Meyer, Seth Green and Seth McFarlane were all in it.

I am liking the new Voltron- although I miss some of the classic cheese like "Form feet and legs!  Form arms and torso.... and I'll form the head!" and "Form Blazing Sword!"

I also like that the fights are a bit more involved than the straight formula of the old ones:

Scene 1- everything is normal
Scene 2- Robeast shows up
Scene 3- Voltron Force gets to their lions
Scene 4- Team gets their arses handed to them individually
Scene 5- Team forms Voltron, who is a bit more evenly matched, but they still take a few blows
Scene 6- Voltron Forms Blazing Sword, slices Robeast in half, saves the day
Scene 7- Everybody happy, mice do something silly, cue end credits

I like the fights too.  I remember that formula where Voltron just formed the sword and you knew it was over.
