The Loki on this show that has fistfights with - and is sometimes overpowered by - seemingly totally normal human mortals has me confused when I think about the Loki that traded blows with Thor and had a slight edge on Captain America.

• I kind of get the feeling that this is all an illusion to get Loki to trust Lady Loki by showing him how bad things can get, and at the beginning of next episode he’ll come out of it.

What I’m having some difficulty wrapping my head around is, it’s described that there is 1 sacred timeline, 1 universe, 1 realm. When there’s a nexus event it causes the timeline to split, which the TVA eventually prunes or erases. So where do these variants come from?

You’re saying his magical abilities are more low-key.

Laugh all you want, but my parents can’t get enough of those damn blankets! They used to complain that I didn’t call enough. Now they ask if I can call back later. And then they giggle. Giggle!

“a public announcement that should, if nothing else, throw some much-needed attention toward that often misunderstood condition.”

Like whatever the TV was saying while she was pouring herself cereal.

I watched with the closed caption on and some of the dialogue that was going through in the early portions of the episode had a very eerie feel to it (you couldn’t really hear any of it, but we kept getting the captions anyway).

I'm holding out for the far cuter BABY Stark toaster.

If there’s not a Stark Toaster available for sale by mid-November, an entire department at Disney is getting fired.

Great recap of an overall good, fun episode, but you failed to mention Mayfeld’s Office Space reference when he tried to rescue Mando from Hess:

Mando having to take off the helmet felt very contrived. I knew it was coming after their conversation in the vehicle, but it felt really dumb the way it played out. Like a face scan would be a security check to make sure you are authorized for access, not just require any face.

I was very annoyed they sent Hermine home, and honestly felt really bad for Laura! It’s like they sent her to the final just to watch her flounder and add some drama while the other two just made normal, presentable bakes. 

No matter who wins the finale, I think we all agree the real winner of this season is....

It always throws me off how long the credits are for this show.

The twins suns of Tatooine turn Ewan McGregor into Alec Guiness!

GET RID OF PAUL!
Replace him with Nigella Lawson or Lorraine Pascale.

this allows for baby Yoda to eat her spawn. How hilarious is that? Not a lot really, because we were told the eggs were very important.

I didn’t like this episode.

It really tried leaning into the comedy which seemed to be at the expense of the plot. You’ve got this reptile mom who needs transport her for eggs, and the eggs we’re told (because we have to be told) are real important. But she decides to never really be by them, this allows for baby Yoda…

This episode, while moderately entertaining, was just more proof (as if we needed any) that this series just has zero interest in crafting sophisticated, meaningful story arcs.
