shiro: uh keith? you’re kinda flying really fast here… maybe you should take it down a not–
keith, speeding up: nobody tells me how to fly… nobody
lance: keith, my man, my buddy,,,, you’re flying a little too fast… mind slowing down a bit?
keith: oh, sure! i’ll try to watch my speed :)

GOOD SHIT
as it stands now, the one closest to figuring out that shiro is a clone is actually lance.
hear me out-
everyone else seems completely oblivious so far. maybe keith is slightly suspicious of the circumstances behind shiro returning –he spends a lot of time trying to reason his way through it– but he doesnt question that this is real shiro. even when shiro uncharacteristically and repeatedly shuts him down, he doesn’t ever stop to consider whether this is actually shiro. (keith thinks shiro’s criticism is his own fault, but that’s another topic entirely.)
lance has noticed something off about him from the beginning, even if he isn’t yet sure what it is.
otherwise, he would have gone to shiro with his insecurities in s3, not keith. keith even asks lance why he decided to go to him, specifically.
lance says, “well, i mean, you’re the leader now, right?” but idk, that doesnt really sound like an entirely convincing reason to me.
and then in the last episode- lance says they need to get out off of naxzela, but shiro shuts him down and it. pisses. lance. off. shiro dismissing lance puts voltron in danger- it puts the entire team in danger. when they get back in their lions he literally growls. he is that frustrated.

i think that’s the moment when lance realizes that shiro (regardless of whether he’s the real one or not) is not the right leader for voltron. keith would have listened to him. even though we haven’t had much of a chance to see keith really lead voltron, from what we have seen in s3 e5, he is much more responsive to the team’s input than shiro is. and now lance realizes that. now lance knows that shiro isn’t the right leader for the team- at least not right now.
i want him to side with keith. i want lance to start keeping a more critical eye on shiro. and over time, i want him to notice all the little things shiro/kuron does that don’t add up. i really want lance to be the first to figure out. and the way things have gone, i think he’s already starting to piece it together.
Lance: hey Keith, I think we should be more than PALadins ;)
Keith: but Lance being a paladin is a lot of work already, I mean-
Lance: no, no, more than PALadins ;) ya know, ;) ;)
Keith:

Lance: please date me

There was a discussion a few months ago about Lotor’s hands how they go from regular to having claws in some scenes. We see it again up close in season 4
In the scene where he wake up from being stunned, we see that his hands clearly don’t have any claw-like features. Specifically looking at his thumb. But in a next shot only seconds later, he suddenly has the sharp claws:
This can’t be an animation mistake since it’s happened before when they did close ups on his hands. My theory is that maybe, just like some animals, Lotor’s claws only show up when he feels threatened? I feel like it may be emotions that trigger this change or actually, it could be a conscious effort to make himself even more capable of defending himself if the situation comes to it.
We know Haggar has those claws but Alteans don’t have any sharp nails. But we see this in the 3rd episode:
Her hands are the only thing that seem to be consciously changed to have a Galran appearance. It seems to me that the claws are a signature Galran aspect of one’s appaerance and maybe Lotor is able to chameleon himself like his mother? Maybe the claw thing is a conscious change when the situation calls for it?
Idk, random after shower thoughts 😂
I have been wondering the exact same thing! It really struck me in this moment too, when Lotor is staring out at the rift after his plans have failed-
and then seconds later, after he’s experienced shock/distress and is mid-collapse, we have…
HOLY HECK I DIDNT NOTICE THAT PART, IM SHOOK
