Loki 1×05 “Journey Into Mystery” Highlights

features, tv

For starters, I’d like to take a moment to complain about the fact that “Journey Into Mystery” is the penultimate episode and that means next week is the finale, which I just boldly reject. I want to watch and unpack Loki every week. I don’t want it to ever end. I have also decided that I just no longer understand the concept of time travel and neither does the Marvel Cinematic Universe—I say this with love. What I do understand however, is that quiet moments of character development will always be at the forefront of an excellent episode, and this

features, tv

Where does one even begin with an episode like “The Nexus Event?” Did anyone else stare at their wall for a good five minutes after the mid-credits scene?Because I did, and I would like to feel less alone about this.

“Lamentis” is one heck of an episode even in its quiet exhibition, which is what’s so stunning about this chaotic treasure of a series. In an unsurprising turn of events, Loki keeps getting better and better. We’re halfway through the series and already bummed that there will be an end in sight. Season two needs to happen. This cannot just be a mini-series, it’s too good for that. (I say this with utmost love.) Loki is chaos personified, and it’s exactly why he’s so beloved. “Lementis” might not have gotten us far in the realm of the TVA’s agenda, but

Loki 1×02 “The Variant” Highlights

features, tv

Spoilers for Loki episode two ahead please do not read further if you haven’t seen the new episode. “The Variant” proves that we have no idea what’s going on or who to trust, but that’s always been expected with Loki as a series, and it’s what makes this all such a confusing joy ride. The reality is, at the moment, we can’t even trust Loki, not really, at least not yet because he not only tells us not to, but he makes it clear that there’s still so much mischief to ensue. But still, we can at least trust him
