Voltron S8: *ends, epilogue screens play, credits roll*
Voltron S9 teaser: *final S8 credits end, screen goes black. Crack of white appears, turning into a rectangle as a door opens. Light floods into the small room where five Paladins sit around a table wearing mind-melding headbands. They blink owlishly, looking around at each other with suspicion and disappointment*
Coran: Not bad for a first team building exercise! Maybe on the next try you can save the universe without killing everybody!
Lance: I have no idea why that went so off the rails, but I bet it’s Keith’s fault.
Keith: I…you turned it into your own princess dating simulator! And who made me a Galra!?
Hunk: I was just trying to add some intrigue. Add some mystery, you know?
Shiro: Hunk, are you the one who gave me clones?
Pidge: No, that was me. I had a direction I was going with it but I forgot what it was halfway through. Who kept bringing up Keith’s crush on Lance with the weird romantic moments?
Keith: I do not have a crush on Lance!
Shiro: Sorry, I can’t hear you over the fact that you made my boyfriend break up with me then killed him. What the hell, Keith? And then you married me off to Curtis?
Keith: Curtis didn’t fail me in Physics like some people.
Shiro and Keith: *start arguing because Shiro literally borrowed Keith’s phone and spoke to Adam before they went looking for Blue and they absolutely never broke up before Kerberos, and Shiro’s still wearing an engagement ring to prove it*
Lance, Pidge, and Hunk: *start arguing over who should be in charge during the next simulation because there was no sensible direction in that one*
Allura: At this rate you’re never going to form Voltron! Come on Paladins, back to the training deck!
Voltron S9: *picks up from the middle of S1E2 and goes from there with better writers and showrunners*
