Voltron - A Little Adventure TV review

After the Paladins’ epic victory of Lotor (A.J. LoCascio) that left the Castle of Lions destroyed and the Paladins stranded light years from home, its a bit odd that the show decides to kick-off its Seventh Season with a rather humdrum Honey, I Shrunk the Kids episode as most of the team is shrunk down to miniature size while searching for a precious mineral to re-power their lions. Meanwhile, Keith (Steven Yeun) chooses to stay with the unconscious Shrio (Josh Keaton) offering more flashbacks to how Shiro changed the rudderless course of a young Keith’s life including the pair’s first meeting. The character-driven flashbacks help balance out some of the main story’s goofier tone, but can’t save “A Little Adventure” from being one of Voltron‘s most forgettable (and largely pointless) episodes.

The Wild Storm #16

The Wild Storm #16 comic reviewJohn Lynch‘s check-ins with former members of Project Thunderbook continues as his journey takes him to Gloria Spaulding. The interaction goes better than some of Lynch’s recent attempts (Gloria doesn’t attempt to kill him), but as with the others changed by Thunderbook, Spaulding is far from human… although like another member of Thunderbook she has passed something down to a daughter (as the comic continues to pave the way for a new version of Gen13).

The Wild Storm #16 also offers the first interaction between Jenny Mei Sparks and Angela Spica when Jenny becomes aware of the Engineer’s existence. Although Angela doesn’t sign up with Jenny’s new group, the conversation does spur the Engineer to take steps to protect herself from the growing conflict.
