The behind the scenes situation in Voltron is really interesting.

Seasons 1 & 2 had five executive producers including at least one very experienced show runner. Dreamworks was also vetoing the worst of the final two ep's ideas.

Season 3 all but the final two left but Dreamworks was still watching so that's why the show seemed so unfocused they ep's wanted something very different and they admit they through out the bible that had been used for season's 1 & 2. They also have admitted they pulled an intentional bait and switch on many plot lines. (A pattern that continued until the end of the show with stuff implying one thing then it being abandoned and somethingelse random shove din place)

Then when Voltron wasn't the smash hit Dreamworks wanted (post Season 3 the viewership seemed to tank and the ep's blamed Keith not being in black instead of other things)

They were then given the go ahead for season 7 and 8 to be mostly how they wanted and fans were not happy so based on interviews it looks like they wanted to tank the show even further during the final few episodes because they were mad folks didn't like their vision for the series. As in their post series interviews they blame everyone but their own decisions for the reception. They seem especially bitter that one of if not the most popular character is the one they found boring and wanted to kill off.
