30. Season One, Episode Thirty - “The Sleeping Princess”

Doom Log File Title:  “Failed Engagement” (Cossack’s Note:  I’d have called this something like “Dying to Marry You” but Mogor just has no sense of style.)

Summary:  Just after Lotor wakes up from a dream about Allura being kept from him (which he must’ve gone on to Mogor at length about if he bothered to mention it) he gets ordered to marry a hot redhead princess from Demos named Corral.  Lotor only likes blondes, though, so that’s a no-go and he shoots her down pretty coldly.  (Dumbass.  I’d have done her.  Hmm, I wonder if he still has her phone number around?)  She’s a pretty understanding chick though, so she helps Haggar come up with an idea to get Allura for Lotor so he’ll be happy.  While out in that way too bright Arus sunshine Coba sneaks in and cuts Pinky with a poison knife that puts her into a magic sleep that makes it seem like she’s dead.  The whole planet grieves while Lotor goes to pick her up, giving the impression that not only is he an evil bastard but also a necrophiliac.  Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.  Sometimes you have nights where you just don’t want to deal with a struggling, screaming broad, and all you really need is something with holes in the right places that just lies there…what, have I said too much?

Of course the Voltron force knows he’s not quite that touched in the head so they figure out that something’s up and pursue him.  Prudes.  Eventually they corner him with the sleeping Allura, who gets restored, and Lotor winds up leaving empty handed.  He spends the rest of the night drinking like a fish and smashing his wine glasses where he sees visions of Allura in the puddles.

Notable Doom Highlights:  Meeting Princess Corral was a plus, although fangirls everywhere hate her because she got to make out with Lotor.  Lotor’s dream was a trip too, and Allura’s funeral didn’t leave a dry eye on Arus although we here on Doom thought it was fun to see all those losers bawling their eyes out.  Ha ha, I have that on DoomTIVO.

Notes:  You really get some insight into Lotor through this whole mess.  First of all, the guy dreams about his father stealing the object of his affections from him.  That’s some unhealthy father-son issues there.  He really can act like a whiny bitch sometimes.  “Unnh, waaaahhh, Allura doesn’t like me because of Dad and Dad won’t let me have her, waahhh.”  He keeps this up, he’s gonna wake up one morning with tits.  But, then if he catches Allura he gets some lesbian action, so I’m sure Lotor won’t object to that when the time comes.   Then there’s the rumor that when Lotor dreams about Allura, it’s not really Allura, but some chick that looks like his mother that he calls Allura.  When you check out the description of the Allura of his dreams in the original media, it fits the bill of the dead queen a lot better than it does that ditzy chick on Arus, and if that’s true and Mogor wasn’t smoking something when he wrote it down that’s some nutty stuff right there.  Almost as nutty as turning down the chance to do Princess Corral.  You may wonder what I may think of the comparison between Allura and my late wife.  Yes, I see the resemblance as far as looks are concerned…but my wife was, in delicate words, never insane or insipid enough to speak to mice, and I thank her memory for that.
