Science/Fiction

This episode captured all what Loki the TV series stands for - redemption arc, friendship, time and its relationship with and impact on us, and finally, the inherent complexities of existing and wanting a purpose.

Tom Hiddleston was on another level in this episode, and deserves some acting nominations.

The stage for the finale is set beautifully. Can't wait for the next week on how they tie all the plot lines together. This also sets up the next phase of Marvel films wonderfully. I, for one, am super excited to see if and how Loki returns to the movie.

10/10 episode. Hyped for next week, let's go!

Really engaging and fast-moving episode without a boring scene.

Loki kinda finally feels like the main character in his show and his character arc in this episode shows how far he's come from The Avengers.

It's a really exciting episode and makes you more excited for the finale, but still feels underwhelming when these really excellent plot points could've had more buildup with more episodes for the season.

The problem is, that the pacing is sometimes so fast that it feels like the side characters don't get enough characterization, if at all. The runtime is the same as the first season, but season 1 felt like it packed way more storytelling and revelations than this.

This could've been one of the best seasons of television if they gave it at least 2 or 4 more episodes. But characters die before the audience gets to know them and care about them.

Nevertheless, this episode is probably the best of the season so far and I like it a lot because it's a really chill episode with great visuals and choice of music, and of course, Loki is at the forefront of this episode.

Another big disappointment is that I Know that this isn't gonna have any real impact or effect on the MCU as a whole. It's funny that I saw the reactions of a lot of people to the previous episode saying (mostly joking) "Well guys, the MCU is over" and all that. Because back when season 1 came out, I also thought this show was gonna have a real impact on the movie side of MCU, but guess what? 2 years and many movies later, it had near zero impact on it. Like they don't even make you feel how dire and grand the deleting of branches is in this show alone, let alone in the MCU.

If they actually made the decision to let this show lead to real change in the MCU, like replacing Kang with Doctor Doom after the event of this season, or any other actual big changes caused by this, then I would be less disappointed. Like even WandaVision had more impact on the MCU and the multiverse than this show. I hope this is leading to something good, because as much as these past two episodes were good, this season didn't have enough time to deliver a well-developed plot and characters.

Nonetheless, this episode was really good and I hope they don't do the Disney Plus tradition of giving us a rushed 30-minute finale, and deliver and actually well-written and satisfying final episode instead.

I love this show. Definitely the best MCU series and it never loses its quality. CGI, theme musics, script, directing, acting... they are all amazing and Tom Hiddleston carry the MARVEL cinematic universe. The only thing I can say for this episode is that it has the atmosphere of Infinity War. The final episode will be Endgame and Loki will most likely be God of Stories or Loki who remains. This is extremely exciting because this character is definitely wasted in terms of power. Lastly He's not alone anymore, he experienced true loss, time and time again. Now he knows that caring for someone else is not weakness, it's a strength, and that's when he becomes truly powerful. BEST CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

Where to start with this episode incredible from start to finish. I haven't felt this sense of fearful and uneasiness high stakes since that of infinity war and endgame. Loki has done nothing but intrigued me from the first episode till now. This episode just proves how wrong you can be about the necessarity of a series about loki.

The story for this episode is emotional, frustrating and physiologically moving. My first thoughts of loki season 2 were "does there need to be a season 2" but after finishing this episode I am exhilarated for the season finale and quite honesty it can't come soon enough.

The direction this whole series has taken has been nothing but amazing from episode 1 of the first season to this episode, the character they have created from nothing more then a villainous side actor to the main hero of his own story.

My honest review of why I gave this episode a 10 is nothing more then nowadays It can be difficult to feel excitement or intrigue for a series as most people say "quantity over quality" but for loki it is different and I hope I can say that it was nothing more then incredible come episode 6 (the season finale)

Thank you for taking the time to read my review hopefully see you in the season finale...

Finally something that gives back this warm feeling that was so appealing in the first season. A story more based on the glue between characters than on just running around in exotic sceneries. Hopefully the last part keeps up this high level where you can really feel that lives matter. Also a fresh counterpart to the previous episode. Season 01 also had these surprising contrasts between the episodes. Luckily the actors also didn't overdo it this time with being theatrical which made them much more palatable after portraying all those extroverted characters they are at the TVA. Glad that this bunch of great actors were not again wasted on some typical Marvel Hitandruncatchmeifyoucan episode. It had some more artistic moments definitely reminding one of the last Oscar winner.
