* CantGetAwayWithNothing: Shiro, the conscientious Team Voltron leader, wants to create an AI reproduction of Sendak to interrogate it without waking him up.

* DeathByGenreSavviness: The team doesn't want to wake Sendak for fear of him causing trouble in the castle, and they hope that by studying the Galra crystal they can reverse-engineer the advanced Galra tech.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: The technology in the castle aims to harm Pidge, Hunk, Keith, and Lance. Pidge and Hunk get the better end of the deal by having to deal with a kitchen that won't stop spewing food and being stuck in a zero-gravity room. Keith's training gladiator tries to kill him, and Lance is locked in a cryo pod and then later is nearly ThrownOutTheAirlock.
