By far the best episode so far. Excellent stuff
That being said, I know I’ve harped on this before but filming these series’ like films and then editing them into episodes really doesn’t lend itself to a weekly release schedule in terms of pacing and plot development. These should really be treated more like the old school “2-3 Night Movie Event!” either do 90 minute weekly episodes or consecutive night 45 minute episode releases.

This show is so damn good and I need it to be next week already. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}My guy Mobius. I just wanted him to get a jet ski Don’t lose faith, bröther; He will. By far the best episode so far. Excellent stuff That being said, I know I’ve harped on this before but filming these series’ like films and then editing them into episodes really doesn’t lend itself to a weekly release schedule in terms of pacing and plot development.

Perhaps pacing I’ll grant you (constantly in wandavision and TFATWS) considering the last episode however both the end of last weeks and this weeks left me wanting more. I kind of enjoy having to wait. Builds up my anticipation.

{Spoiler}So what happened to B-15? It didn't look like she was killed or pruned, just knocked out, but she never re-surfaced again and it just seemed weird that after the fight was over neither Loki went to check on her. It just felt rude.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Pruning doesn't erase people from existence, we know that now, and hoping that Loki popping up in a version of NYC isn't some sort of special exception, then Mobius is somewhere out there too, but I'll bet pruning just sends you to a timeline where you have the lowest odds of surviving I'm now leaning towards {Spoiler}{Spoiler}the pruned being dumped into Limbo.
The TVA may be another version of Limbo, since Mobius says that "time passes differently" there, and Sylvie had to drag up a memory from hundreds of years ago when she enchanted Hunter C-20, confirming that the TVA workers aren't subject to ageing or death.

I'd watch an episode or two that followed this Loki, for sure.

Anyone else still wondering what the point of the timeline bombs were in episode 2 that just kinda got forgot about.

Yeah, I can sort of see how something like the TFAWS would be better as a film but this works as a weekly because it does enough to stay in your brain until the next week. Like, that post-credits scene is going to stay in my head pretty much until next Wednesday and even beyond.

FAWTWS did feel like a movie broken into six parts. This and WandaVision feel/felt like weekly shows.

So...just my theory about who’s behind the TVA and two possible scenarios leading from it... {Spoiler}Ravonna is involved so it’s gonna be Kang the Conqueror.
Since Fantastic Four is the final movie in Phase 4...maybe they stay true to his comic roots and he’s the Big Bad they face off with. There’s been rumors that Ant-Man 3 could see the FF debut with them being time displaced in the Quantum Zone since the 60’s...something that sounds like it would warrant the attention of a man that doesn’t like people messing with timelines.
The other...
Kang ends up being a foe to the Young Avengers. His big issue with Variants comes from the fact that a Variant of his own...Iron Lad...helps form the team.

I'm still convinced we'll find out that Mobius is an Owen Wilson variant in some kinda random background photo or something

Cool theory I just read {Spoiler} Sylvie was a Loki destined for good, whereas a Loki’s purpose is to push others to be good. That’s why she was marked for pruning.

So I’m going to guess that where all of the Loki’s ended up is a timeline where the Chitauri defeated the Avengers...or they never formed...and it’s why we have President Loki.
