Is there ever a sense of risk that the title character of a TV show isn’t likely to die?

Were those on Lamentis-1 normal humans? They could have been similarly powerful aliens, for all we know.

He’s also a big softie, who didn’t like to see all those people on the moon die and manipulated the plan so that they would try and rescue them.

what exactly makes Sylphie a Loki variant

There couldn’t be time in the TVA for it to work. If time existed there, then the TVA would become subjected to the same timeline rules it enforces, and it would create paradoxes.

Small counterpoint: if this is all in Loki’s mind, Loki should behave the way he would if it was real (otherwise he would become aware it’s not; which might well be the case, to be fair). Therefore Loki wouldn’t try to use powers he knows he doesn’t have.

So the real question is: what does Sylvie need from Loki, to make her go to such lengths to enchant him? Is it something that was always part of her plan? (Which seems strange because she couldn’t have predicted this specific Loki variant. Or could she? Or did she witness it happen somehow?)

“The Ark is a hot new club, where all the trendy rich people hang out. Come join us.......if you have a ticket.”

I think the TVA simply exists outside of time. A person is picked in 2021, made into a TVA employee, goes on to work for them two hundred years in a timeless environment. But there’s still a 2021 in the timeline they can return to, two hundred years later.

If Loki can lift an entire building with magic

I actually liked this better than the first two (so it doesn’t have a end. Duh, it’s part of a six-episode run, how episodic can any of these be?). Mostly because it was more entertaining. Great banter, great sense of adventure, Loki being an active agent of chaos rather than a resigned slave of circumstances.

at least give her some character and personality.

I thought Jessica was going to be “let in” on the adventures and be a more active character

the glaringly obvious point that Rick DOES have a nemesis.

Harmon claims he’s got the working environment under control

Man, is absolutely NOBODY watching this? That’s bool!

Her purpose now is vengeance.

Joseph Lawrence is pretty much a double agent at the highest levels, now

Only four? Wasn’t there a 10-season plan or some nonsensical such at some point? I expect Canada to be under Gilead’s rule by season 6, with Fred as their martyred prophet.

prying a handmaid away from Aunt Lydia would be a lot harder
