The Kids React to Voltron Season 2 Finale

The Kids React to VOLTRON Season 2

The kids and I watched the last two episodes of Voltron Season 2 tonight. The certainly packed a ton of action into the whole season. We watched as the action got more and more intense from the beginning of episode 12 to the very end of episode 13. I was sort of nervous about the finale because I had heard the possibility of there being a major death in the episode. I can’t say whether or not a death happened but it was intense.

I was also worried because we watched all of Trollhunters together and something really tragic happened at the end of the season. It hit Eva really hard. I was hoping that this wouldn’t be on that same level. They are two separate shows. They have two different vibes. We love the Paladins and we love the Trollhunters. Both finales gave me the chills with the stakes being so high. There were characters that I feared for and some that I cheered for. There were tears and gasps of amazement. I loved the action of Voltron. They really pulled out all the stops on those last episodes. The action was incredible. The kids loved it and the cliffhanger of an ending makes us eager for Season 3.

The kids and I are two episodes away from finishing the entire second season of Voltron. I love that we can watch this show as a family and get so much enjoyment out of it. Andrew dances to the theme song every time. Eva loves characters like Pidge and Hunk. Andrew loves Hunk because he is so funny. I’m a huge fan of shiro because he’s voiced by Josh Keaton who is one of my all time favorite voice actors. I had the great fortune to meet him on the DreamWorks Animation campus last year and it was an incredible experience.

We’re two episodes from the end of the season and I suspect something big is going to happen. I was given a post-mortem of the season video that I can’t watch yet. I’m hoping that tonight we can settle in and watch the end of the season. I am a bit fearful of something that may happen, something that has been hinted at online and more. I hope that it won’t happen because I know I’ll be consoling the kids after. Eva is very sensitive to these things. She was beside herself at the end of Trollhunters. She refuses to ever watch the last episode of the first season ever again. she’s quite adamant about that.

I’m going to put the video from DreamWorks below my daily vlog video. If you’ve watched second season then feel free to watch it but I must caution you that there are SPOILERS in it.

So, tonight, while I was watching TV I made this Voltron out of BRIK. BRIK was a Kickstarter that I helped fund and I ended up getting about 20 of the wall tiles and hundreds of the BRIK pieces. The BRIK website provides a ton of different instructions on how to make all sorts of things. I found Voltron, Transformers, The Legend of Zelda and so much more. I’m looking forward to actually putting these things on the walls at some point but for now I’ll just enjoy the one I made. Maybe I’ll make a Transformers one for my Big Damn Kid show.
