Just watched the first 6 episodes in a row and they have been really great! Intense battles and interesting enemies, good character dynamic and humor, epic music and very interesting planets and surroundings overall. One episode also gave me good ATLA vibes:
the gang tries to escape Zarkon but he keeps finding them even after they do a wormhole jump. The recent fight and Zarkon`s pursue makes everybody really tired. It reminded me of the episode where Toph just joined the group and Azula is hunting them down, finding them anywhere where they go and because of that everybody gets tired and cranky.
Also one interesting thing about Pidge:
during the first season wasn`t her lion found in a forest in the middle of plants and other vegetation? I think it`s a nice touch that her lions ability then has to do with a laser that grows vines. It´s like going a full circle or something along those lines.
I`ll probably watch more episodes later today, but I`ll try to save some for tomorrow.
