Let me tell you the story of how my 8 year old son trolled his Mama on the last episode of Voltron Legendary Defender Season 7 beware there be Spoilers.... You’ve been warned.

His reply, “ I never said they LIVED.”
While I am full of righteous indignation, the shot on the Lions pans out and I see Hunk ALIVE AND WELL. I look over at my son and say,
