RESOLVED: s10e2
Problems: The fact that the paladins so willingly accept the decision that allura made is ridiculous. It kills the idea of “found family” that Voltron had worked so hard to create and now puts the weight of the entire world on one characters shoulder, ANOTHER theme that all of them have been learning on their own not to do. I’ve already reformatted the nature of which Allura takes on the dark entity
Solution: The discussion in the meeting room is reframed. Allura admits that she has already tried and failed to remove the dark entity from herself, likely just due to the fact that it’s herself she must work on. Keith is the one to suggest that they try to use it to their advantage, “That thing let Honerva take control of the other Alteans. Maybe we can use it to get control of her.”
Before they go, the other paladins ask if Shiro wants to come with. “You’ve been with us since the beginning. It’s only right you see this through to the end.” but he declines–the Atlas needs him right now and he believes in the other paladins to do this. Group hug commence, shiro commenting how proud he is of them all.

When keith is separated from the paladins, he's able to focus enough on their quintessence and actually see them beyond the darkness.

Addition: I think it would be interesting for Allura to exhibit signs of increased aggression since taking on the dark entity, and very quickly establishing that her mood is because of it and no fault of the paladins.
