The Voltron Paladins are on the run from the enemy.
Hunk and Keith sprint towards Pidge and Lance.
They arent going to be able to make it!
Securitys on our tail!
Lance and Pidge yelp in surprise and quickly join the other two in quick retreat.
The four look ahead.
Theyre on the top floor of the mall and are feet away from running into the railing.
What are they going to do?

Thankfully Lance and Pidge have something to help.
The one way to escape.
You bought a cow?!
It was free with purchase!
Varkon, the space mall cop, closely follows behind on his space segway but cant catch up.
The day is saved thanks to a cow.
Oh yeah, and a ton of Shiro angsting.
Its not all fun and games!
So where the hell did this treasure of an episode come from?
Having to wait by the fountain for your friends.
Not relying on any cell phones and meeting up randomly and getting into these random adventures in the mall.
Many of the elements of the episode were an homage to the classic days of malls.
The 80s Graylien store was a loving homage to Suncoast Video, for one.
Other elements were created completely by accident.
In the series, Zarkons evil forces often use Vrepit Sa!
as a military salute.
Well over time the writers accidental wrote, Vrepit Sal.
It was not only a genius idea but also helped to flesh out the world ofVoltron.
Josh Keaton (Shiro) echoes the sentiment, It was one of the more light hearted episodes.
We joke all around in the booth anyway but when its a funny script the jokes just fly.
Along the way Lance would even park in a handicap spot.
He can approach the fight with a new vigor.
She does say, bring me back something sparkly!
That was kinda cute.
That was a departure to see her like that.
That was a great episode that was funny from beginning to end.
you’re free to have an episode like Space Mall where everyone gets their own little solo moment.
Theres just a little bit more color to all the characters.
But the moment that everyone, fans, cast, and crew alike all loved?
Varkon, the Space Mall Cop.
Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge) says what was on everyones mind, Varkon is totally Paul Blart.
Ill show you, one of these days.
I cant wait till I see a Varkon cosplay on a segway.
Thats the power of the Space Mall episode.
Varkon cosplay on a segway.
Make it happen,Voltronfans!
It can balance a wacky mall plot alongside deep world building revelations.
That and it ends with the most horrifying revelation to RCA cables youll ever see.
