For me it didn't feel like a complete episode. I would have preferred it run a little longer and actually build up more.

I didn’t think that episode was good.

Anyone mentioned how subtly great the soundtrack is in this series?

Cinematography was great but the last chase scene trying to get to the Ark was cheesey. One little nugget from that scene was that Loki seemed to use the Time stone to stop the building from collapsing which should give them a way to get off the planet.

Has Greg Daniels ever dropped this as an important reason for Creed’s character development




Genuine question.

I for one liked Loki's drunk "Another!" followed by the glass smash on the train. Must be an Asgardian royalty thing

Feel like this was a subtly good episode. They introduced a lot of stuff in the first two and this one explored a much more narrow topic while still hitting some decent reveals (TVA variants).

Obviously we'll get some Deus ex machina to get them off the planet

I thought this episode was a bit of a downer. We didn't really learn anything other than TVA workers are variants. Got little to no backstory on Sylvie or her mission. Felt like this was a filler episode. Maybe I'll feel differently once the season is over.

We learned that TVA lies, makes them forget about the past, possibly abducts and conscripts workers. Leads to Potential worker uprising/rebellion if this can be proven to the mass of them. If the tva lied about the creation what else did they lie about? Either the timekeepers aren’t real or as powerful as Loki suspected the whole time.

sylvie and Loki can maybe trust each other, have different magical skills.
Potential timestone usage with the building. Could Loki have been tricking her with a fake broken tempad while keeping the real one?

The tempad running out of battery suggests to me the TVA has to have a power source to be effective time keepers. That means they have a weakness or could be stuck wherever/whenever they travel to or at the the tva itself forever if their energy source is destroyed.

Definitely seemed like it was the time stone. And I guess he can use it now to save them from the apocalypse.

With that said, if he does have the stone I feel like there were better uses for it throughout the episode… not getting shot, not getting thrown out of a train and smashing the time device.

This was a transitional episode to get a good look at female Loki and to establish how Hiddleston's incarnation would interact with his female counterpart.

The bisexual angle it just walking the fence. If you think about it, Loki, being the God of Mischief, would have to be a switch hitter to pull off some of his antics. He's ultimately in love with himself and will use sex with anything to accomplish whatever scheme he's attempting.

My understanding of the first few episodes was that the timekeepers didn't stop Thanos because all of that had to happen to keep the timeline on track.

So if Loki did use a stolen infinity stone, or if he tries to use it to escape, wouldn't that potentially upset or blip the timeline, triggering the TVA, and then Owen Wilson would know where they are and show up?

It’s not going to happen but it would be kind of cool if they revealed that everything that happened after Sylvie tried to enchant Loki was just manifested by Loki to learn more about Sylvie and this episode was literally just filler. “The God of Mischief” gives us another episode and rather than 6 episodes the series is 7 because this episode never actually happened. Not going to happen but would be a funny little outside the show gag.

Anyway, who had Lady Loki being the one to create the multiverse on the office pool?

Seems pretty possible. The Loki getting drunk and singing seemed pretty out of place for him, but would make sense if it was all just a show he was directing.

I'm not sure how he would have used to timestone considering Thanos destroyed the stones circa 2019.

This was like 2075. From my understanding, only the Timestone that Thanos destroyed can be used in the sacred timeline. The other timestones from the desk are variant timeline timestones which have been confiscated and don't work on the sacred timeline

I thought those stones just didn't work in the TVA office, like Loki's magic.
