I have never seen a more layered performance than Owen Wilson in a marvel production. The man sold every line and every face. The episode also had great reveals and plenty of plot to reel me in. Just awesome.

BEST Episode Till Now.
MandalBros-530 June 2021
This is the episode where Marvel incorporated all the elements a fan wants. Twist after twist, re-appearance of old character and BIG REVEALS. It's the best episode of Loki till now and one of the best of Marvel TV Shows.
From start to end you'll be engaged. What A Writing ! One more thing, you have to wait after the primary credits. Because Mid Credits Scene is back & it was one of the best Post Credits Scenes of MCU. I'm sure everyone will eagerly wait for the next episode after watching this.

Wow, what an episode. A lot better than last weeks Episode 3.
Lots of events, a lot of unexpected twists and turns and an interesting end (and post-credit scene)
Loki and Sylvie finally is starting to plant a seed of doubt in the TVA Agents and one would assume that's what eventually will bring it into some form of chaos, leading into the upcoming movies.
+ B-15 switching sides, based on the events of last weeks enchantment by Sylvie
+ Mobius being pruned was totally unexpected, but managed to namedrop Vampires (!!) along with Titans and Kree's.
+ Loki being pruned and entering an alternate scrapyard of Lokis(?)
+ Time keepers being androids
+ The time loop with Lady Sif was great
10/10, what an amazing episode.
Can't wait for next week.

Fantastic episode.
The work from "Lamentis" (for which many were unjustifiably crying about) has paid off.
Not spoiling anything, but everything that happened here was MAJOR and is bound to lead to two awesome finale episodes.
I believe that the penultimate episode will be some sort of setup for the finale.
Great acting too.
Marvel are really doing a fantastic work so far in the TV department,

After coming off a great first 2 episodes and a mediocre third one, this one blows it out of the park. Crazy Plot twists and plot details which we needed. There is also a post credit scene teasing at what is going to happen in episode 5.
The BEST!!

Twists, and turns... and twists... and turns...
lucafrieling30 June 2021
Well that's a 10/10 episode for me.
Fantastic twists kept coming and coming. This was most certainly the best episode yet. It left me in shock, and after the post-credit scene (don't miss it) I was even more in shock.
Incredible work, can't wait to see what's next!

I was really excited to watch this episode as it was really hyped up and getting lots of praise. I just did not like it, I thought the first 2 episodes were great, third was decent, but this one is pretty meh. It felt like nothing happened until the end and I was shocked when the credits rolled because it did not feel like 43 minutes of substance. Yes the twist of mobius and Loki getting pruned was shocking, but it's the same issue I had with Last Jedi, where they are using cheap tricks like that for pure shock factor & that isn't good, instead they should build suspense. The timekeepers twist is interesting though. I'm not gonna lie I love marvel but I worry for it's future, I don't think that they're bringing in particularly great writers currently. Also that action scene in the time keepers chamber was laughably bad.
Am I watching a different show?

I feel like all the people giving this episode 10's and 9's are just brainwashed and working for the TVA...I mean? Are you serious? What twists are people talking about? This is soooo predictable...
This is so so soooo bad...bad acting, terrible fight scenes (feels like Power Rangers back in the 90's), and why oh why is Loki so stupid and pathetic? Wasn't he a God? Whatever happened to this magnificent character?
There was only one way to save this episode, and they didn't go there. I was really really hoping that Loki was just projecting all of episode 3 in Sylvie's mind to get something out of it, but no, instead they made them bf and gf, WHAAAAAT?!!!!

After not so great episode 3(it was all right but not as good as ep 1 and 2),this one was a refreshing change of pace. Absolutely mind-blowing twists and turns. The villain character just shifted in this episode which I didn't see coming. Those who didn't watch the post credit scene, please watch it. The real cliffhanger is there.
Mind Blowing!

This episode just took too many turns and oh my goodness the storyline is on some other level right now! Every scene was so important and and we can literally see the chaos and madness building up! Can't wait to see the real face behind the TVA and after that end credit scene oh my I can surely say that this show needs atleast 5 seasons! It would be bonkers if this show doesn't get an Emmy be it for direction, music, story and every possible other category especially Tom Hiddleston because dude he just nails it with such ease every single time!
The only question in my mind right now is WHERE THE HELL IS MOBIUS!?

Back on Track with Better Pacing
vbalodi30 June 2021

The episode begins with the demise of Lamentis 1, and a nexus event which defines the following forty-five minutes.
The show once more proves it's ability to make an episode stand out from the rest of the bunch with a unique color pallete and atmosphere. The music is still pretty good, and the acting is great for most of the part.
This one is miles better from the previous ones in the fact that it understands how to handle pacing and how to transition from character development to plot progression. The beginning is very much like the previous episode and brings us up to pace with where the TVA stand currently. A reunion between Mobius and Loki, and a confrontation between Ravonna and Mobius about C-20. But slowly, it works towards the faster paced scenes with a small hint at the beginning, and then goes all out after B-15 takes Sylvie back to Alabama. It works much better as compared to the abrupt drop of the previous installment.
The plot moves forward in a major way too. Mobius and B-15 learn the truth about the Time Keepers and each work with their Loki towards a solution. Sif is a welcome cameo after not being seen for quite a while, the last time being in Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D., and she plays her part pretty well. The final moments of Mobius are really great and well set-up, despite not being something too big. The episode promises us the Time Keepers, and provides, in the end, with a confrontation between their Variants.
The dynamic between Loki and Sylvie seemed to be coming, even from the previous episode. It is a great way to make Loki care about and fall for someone. It's a version of himself! And it works because you know that there is nobody like him, and only those two can understand each other and care about the actions they take. Really interested to see where they go with it.
It is, however, far from perfect, due to some very obvious, jarring reasons. The scene with B-15 regaining her memories was not that great, and neither did they hint at it in a previous episode (in contrast, Mobius' love for Jet ski's was set up a while back). The fight was pretty boring and seemed like a normal, cliche MCU fight. Coming from FATWS, and even the previous episode, it is a huge drop in quality and choreography. The end with Loki being pruned does not really hit hard at all. This is because the same has already happened to Mobius, who went out pretty unceremoniously, and knowing Marvel, they would never do that to a character. So it was pretty obvious that they were still alive and well.
The ending, and mid-credit scene, hints at a pretty "expositionary" fifth episode, and it is probably going to set up the stage for the final villain, whoever it is (please be Kang the Conqueror). So, yeah, with a great plot and character-heavy episode, Loki is back on track, despite having a couple mistakes.

Flawless plan?
invictor30 June 2021

Don't get me wrong, the episode was great, best Marvel content so far, but it makes me wonder about Sylvie's plan in episode 2; she scattered time resetting bombs all over the time-line, which at the time seemed like a game breaker, yet it doesn't seem like it had any lasting consequences, it's not even mentioned again. I know it was supposed to be a distraction so she could get close to the time keepers, but couldn't she just access as many Minutemen's memories as possible to spread doubts within the TVA like she did to the two agents?
Seems to be the most effective tool she's got against them.

This episode is so much better than episode 3, which was very underwhelming. Episode 4 really did take a route that I certainly didn't expect. I can't elaborate further without getting into spoilers, but god this episode was good.
6 and a half stars
jonhayward-8917522 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Wanted to give this episode a little higher than 6 because it had a good start. But the end fight scene was very hard to watch and the cgi wasn't up to scratch either but it really was like an old power rangers fight scene as someone has already mentioned but the anology was too good not to use again as it fits perfect.
Very disappointing
lokeshsingh-890681 July 2021
I loved the first two episodes and found the overall concept of the show to be intriguing. The third one was decent as well. I was feeling this might be the best Disney Marvel show yet but I was clearly wrong. All the flaws are now showing. The writing is very clunky and I don't think the twists are really that impressive. Hoping they don't completely butcher Loki's character in the remaining two episodes.
Marvel fans = Ungrateful br*ts

It's a frkn TV drama not your personal pampering sketch to turn & twist to your desire. Sitdown. What's the need of writers & directors/ show ftm if every show should be the da same delusional fan derived ship-drama.
Hands down best episode till now
villybhagat30 June 2021
I mean the whole series is awesome. From loki understanding himself, portraying his emotions to trusting people everything is 10/10. I wish I could give like 100/10. I need season 2 already! And season 3, 4, 5, so on!
