* At Wondercon, one of the cards that had a scene that didn't make the episode for Eye of the Storm said: "Allura and Shiro mouse-washing".
** Bex says Lance is "as handsome as he thinks he is".
** One of the writers said that the fans are the "quintessence of the show"
* This [[https://twitter.com/Voltron/status/860162120339537920 picture of Allura]] for May fourth, Star Wars Day with a nice message above.
* The Holt's dog was originally named Gunther, but it was changed to Bae Bae in honor of one of the worker's dog who had passed away.
* In the Paladin Handbook, Hunk writes on Shiro's character page: "Space Dad".
** Keith's fun facts has him ranked second-in command to Shiro, which he crosses out and writes, "It doesn't matter. Nothing will happen to Shiro."
* The fact that ''Voltron: Legendary Defender'' was able to reach about the same amount of episodes as the original ''Defender of the Universe'' show.
* When Shiro was revealed at Comic Con to be canonically gay, the whole fandom happily and loudly rejoiced.
* Two weeks before the final season dropped, the Voltron Twitter created something for the icon profile that reads "Thank you, Voltron".

* The Blue Lion's enthusiastic acceptance of Lance. While the other Paladins are [[IncrediblyLamePun thrown to their Lions]] by Allura, the Blue Lion itself spots Lance and immediately decides "That one's mine." It all but rolls out the red carpet for him: locking eyes with him, responding to his knock on the forcefield, shoving him into the pilot's seat and immediately chatting away to him. Given that Lance secretly sees himself as the [[IJustWantToBeSpecial least remarkable]] of the group, and the plot frequently treats him as the ButtMonkey, it's touching to see that his Lion has such faith in him -- presented with several candidates, it doesn't have any hesitation about who it wants.

* A bit of Fridge Heartwarming. When we see Pidge's room in the past, it's almost ''painfully'' neat, indicating that she routinely cleans it out of boredom because she's a loner. Contrast to her room on the Castle which is a complete disaster area since she has people to spend time with.

* It's more Fridge Heartwarming than anything else, but when Allura is charging Honerva out in the open, [[spoiler: Sincline has a clear shot at her...but doesn't take it. Lance attempts to intervene, but doesn't actually reach the mech, and if Honerva was controlling it, she would have no reason to spare Allura. A closer look reveals that Sincline simply powered down and lowered its arm. The implication being that Lotor's spirit decided to spare her.]]



** Especially {{Heartwarming}} is Hunk's ending: [[spoiler:he becomes a renowned chef at the head of a culinary empire, using what he loves to bring people together. It calls back to Pidge's words about him in "The Feud!"]]

* The Warden from "Escape from Beta Traz" reappears (still with Laika at his side) and sincerely thanks Shiro for helping him find a new path in life.
* Shiro's {{Adorkable}} excitement at the crowd cheering for him during the arm-wrestling competition, just soaking up the attention. After everything he's suffered, it's so nice to see him genuinely having fun and actually winning a prize.

** Lotor's gentle encouragement and the way he carefully folds his hands over hers is also very sweet.
*** The very fact that Allura accompanies him alone to Haggar's lair and isn't afraid to cry in front of him or confess her insecurities demonstrate how much she already trusts Lotor. In an earlier scene, she even willingly walks with her hand on his arm.



** However, she adds that she's glad he's there with her now, and the two share a HeldGaze and an affectionate smile.



* While Lotor definitely wanted to gain knowledge from the Ancients, he does [[GracefulLoser praise Allura for being able to unlock the secrets]].
