And just like that, we're already rip-roaring to the races at breakneck speed!
I love how this episode barely gave us any time to process what just happened and immediately dived into the consequences of Silvie's actions
and how to deal with Loki's deeply-disturbing timeslipping.
And yet the episode still had enough grace to seamlessly introduce Ouroboros without missing a beat. What an entrance for already my new favorite character (yes, with plenty of bias) with Ke Huy Quan just stealing every moment (a mean feat with the likes of Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson) in both timelines (impossible!...and yet...).
We also meet two new judges and a new hunter (what is it with Kate Dickie and potentially inappropriate relationships?), quickly filling in the power gap Renslayer left behind. While she is conspicuously absent this episode, the recording Loki listened to in the far past finally confirms her relationship with Kang (or whichever variant...).
We don't get much of Sylvie herself, but at least now we know where and when she is...my birth year! Also...I
remember that creepy-ass tree on the McDonald's wall.
One curious thing: Last season's glimpse of when Loki found himself showed that Casey is a hunter...and yet Loki finds Casey in the same role as he is in the future. We didn't see Loki timeslip from the time Loki arrived in the finale to when he encounters Casey, so he didn't move anywhen. So either the show changed its mind and wants us to forget about that suggestion or perhaps Casey had two variants running around, somehow not knowing about each other. Or something else is afoot.
I have no clue where any of this going but I'm all in for this wild and crazy ride.
