Doom Girls on the Prowl

Doom Girls on the Prowl

Arus is having a parade.  Led by guys in blue Robin, the boy wonder costumes.  With no pants.  Everyone marvels at their own likenesses.  Except Lance, Pidge and Hunk feel left out that they didn't get their own statues.  Coran boosts Allura to the top of a pedestal with Keith and things get awkward.  Then some girls throw flowers to Allura.

Merla is watching this stuff from Zarkon's throne.  Haggar sends a pink baby woodtick robeast after Merla, but her pet vulture throws the woodtick on Haggar.  Merla threatens to feed it to her vulture.  Haggar offers to help her defeat Voltron, but Merla calls her magic obsolete. 

Pink Doom robots with horrible processed voices pilot Doom fighters to Arus alongside Merla and Haggar in the star cutter.  The fighters destroy the Arusiann parade statues and some flags, and stampede the people into a panic.  Allura and Keith lead them back to the castle.

Pidge, Hunk and Lance are sprinting to the castle while Keith, Coran, and Allura lead thousands of villagers to the coverless bridge.  Then, the Doom fighters start strafing the road.  The yellow, green, and red lions launch and engage the fighters.  Keith and Allura resume leading the villagers while the other guys land to help.

Haggar and Merla bandy words back and forth.  Haggar finally releases her woodtick and supersizes it.  Oh, it's more like a flea than a tick now.  It launches and knocks the lions off a cliff and buries them.  Then it freezes Lance, Pidge and Hunk.  *yawn.*

Allura hears the attack, but Keith insists they keep moving.

Haggar brags about their solar ice.  And Lance's uniform is miscolored red.  The fighters now have reinforcements and continue strafing things at random.  Merla orders them to shoot down the rest of the statues.

Arusian refugees are gathered in the castle.  Keith tells Allura that they can't reach the others.  Coran says this is the worst attack since Alfor's defeat.  Really?  It's just a bunch of ships flying around shooting statues.  What about the time all the surface water on the planet was evaporated?  Remember that?  That was pretty bad.

Merla and Haggar mount their attack on the castle, and Coran declares it a fight to the finish.  Keith and Allura launch in their lions, using stock footage from their very first launchenings.

The robeast attacks the castle.  The castle defenses are destroyed.  Black and blue lions attack the robeast, but their weapons are useless and it catches them in a net.  Merla and Haggar gloat.  The pink Doom robots walk around and shoot things.  The skull tanks launch missiles at deserted buildings.

Coran and the mice cry because he can't find the other Voltron force members.  Oh, one of the mice knows where they are.  The mice lead Coran through a secret passage to where the three guys are frozen.  Aaand the robeast freezes Coran and the mice.  And then Keith, Allura, and everyone in the castle.  Keith and Allura find a way to counteract the ice.  And they exchange positrons or something.  And then they fire missiles at each other.  Which somehow frees them from the net.  They use a sonic noise attack that makes the robeast explode.  Huh.  No Voltron or blazing sword.  Then everyone defrosts and they get back into their lions. 

They form Voltron.  vVoltron destroys the skull tanks and the Doom fighters after standing still and getting shot for a few seconds.  Then they use the lion torches to burn . . . down . . . the Arusian buildings the Doom robots are shooting at them from?  Oookay.

Merla blames Haggar and they flee. 

Voltron rebuilds the castle.  Pidge wonders if they'll have their own statues.  Then some kids build their own statues and float.  Allura is in the tomb talking to ALfor, who is complimenting their bravery.  And apparently Alfor approves of Keith.  Um, so is their whole thing officially a  . . . thing, now?

Gods, this episode was painful.
