I pretty much saw this entire last season as an attempt by the EPs to break all the toys because they weren't being allowed a spin off.
Really. They destroyed all we liked about the characters. Hunk is reduced to cook, Keith is not allowed to grow, Pidge does pretty much nothing, Shiro 'leaves the fight' what the hell the boy wanted nothing more than to EXPLORE, even in the face of a chronic illness, Allura was never allowed to see her people thrive again and had nothing to do with their restoration, ultimately. Lance was reduced to farmer when his dream had been to be a pilot.
I think what pissed me off the most about Allura is that they've actually teased her doing a great sacrifice in s1 and s2, but then let the entire idea drop, only to try to force it in at the last minute where it makes no sense. An Evil Allura storyline would have been interesting, but we've seen that the EPs can't handle nuance.
The fight with Haggar would have made WAY more sense during the Road Trip arc, and returning to earth with a Scouring of the Shire arc with Sendak. There just wasn't enough story with her.
There was so much potential in this story. I wish we had gotten to see it come to fruition. As for fandom old... 20 years now for me. sigh.
