Still really like the show, but we just got the trope of the protagonist figuring out their previously uncontrollable power at the last second in order to save the day.

one little fun thing they could do depending how the rules of this time slipping thing will work (great point from earlier about he's no longer slipping as a new person but joining his conscious self at the current time he jumps to).....

we'll all agree this is a changed loki and a WAY different person from when he was first introduced....

so what if this changed loki decides very quickly to slip back to a time in Asgard and make peace with his father, mother and/or Thor......

but not try and change anything as it would just create another branched timeline which is no good.....but just a quick little moment to try and atone for what he'd done before (even if it never happened as this loki was taken after the first avengers movie and technically never experienced Thor 2, 3, etc).....

might be a cool little end credits scene to wrap this story up.....

I mean Thor kinda did something similar with the time travel in end game, doubt they revisit it

My favorite part of the episode was Loki time slipping in sync with the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man in front of the jet ski dealership.

I also was a fan of Loki's conversation with OB about how it's impossible but not impossible to go to a place that never existed, or whatever.

That was the most marvel conversation ever.

it honestly felt like Marvels version of this….

I like how Mobius was still trying to sell a jet ski after he joined the group. Even mentioning the financing available.

this comment made me realize he's the epitome of "you miss every shot you don't take" and that is such a perfect Owen Wilson character trope for anything he does

do you think we will finally get a "wow" from owen wilson in the finale?

Good world-building episode... even if the particulars of the world they're building don't make a lot of logical sense.

The cast is what makes this show for me. The music and the effects are also excellent, but the cast really shines.

I hope the entirety of the next episode isn't them fixing the Loom. I hope they do that quickly and introduce something else that either ends in a cliff hanger or at least leaves us looking forward to something.

Is it too much to ask that he play all scientists in all movies and TV shows from here on out?

Marvel needs to sell copies of the TVA handbook

They need to work in Song of the South by Alabama

Any predictions for tonight? I'd like to see the gang feel like they've done something really important, only to realize it's exactly what Timely / He Who Remains was guiding them to do all along.

I'd also like to see Kang bogart Loki's line and mention something about his "Glorious Purpose".

+1 for recast Majors anyway because he overacts the hell out of every Kang he touches. He was pretty damn distracting in this season.

I thought episode 5 was by far the best. The spaghettification is truly horrific. It's almost like the snap but your environment is snapping around you as well.

Overall this season has had a lot of wasted time, IMO. It needs to finish strong, otherwise it's been several episodes of slowly moving the chess pieces, with nary a Conqueror in sight.

Yep. Basically eliminated the need for Majors in any future properties.

That was my takeaway as well. He is the new he who remains. I definitely enjoyed the finale and see him in a role like The Watcher now.

This was such a great series. 2nd season way better than the first.

Finally, Disney+ made a series that doesn't screw up the ending, or some other kind of letdown.

Great finale

I thought that was a great end to the series and arc for loki. In fact, with my d+ subscription set to renew Sunday at whatever ridiculous rate now, I'm Viking it a day. Glad I could get this series jn first,

So is it over? Season 3 a no go as that kind of put a bow in it?

I'd love more. Not sure what else you do with it though. That's a pretty good ending.

It would be nice if they could bring Loki back out in the next phase of Avengers movies, though.

I don't think that signifies a Majors' exit at all, completely the opposite.

Loki has taken on a benevolent, protector role. They mentioned all the Kang variants are out there and referenced the Kang on Earth 616 - which is the Quantamania Kang.

Really liked the overall message that the final delivered. You can't go back in time and fix things, and you can't change someone else to fix things - only you can change the path you're on by making the decision in the present.

Lots of homages to other great properties, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with the test of faith, stepping out onto nothingness. Loki had a real Vecna from Stranger Things vibe with the hive mind thing. And some good Groundhog Day moments. I was hoping Loki would bump into Ned Ryerson, but not this time.

I really questioned why they kept Sylvie around all season, but I think in the end her purpose was to show Loki that it wasn't about anyone but him. That he had to evolve past his Season 1, found my soul mate, bit.

Also patting myself on the back for guessing the Glorious Purpose part several hours before the episode.

I was really, really hoping for a finale that wouldn't fall flat like so many of the Marvel properties.

And this one delivered. Loki has gone from the most selfish of characters, to the most selfless.

In the penultimate episode, he just didn't want to be alone. And now he is alone, seemingly forever, to save his friends.
