11/7/2023 0 Comments Loki episode 3 recap![]() ![]() In the end, the woman solves their problem for them, asking them what they want and giving them the information they require. Though, again, I’m a little confused as to why Loki chooses to embody her beloved after already having spoken to the woman as himself, even if he didn’t show himself. Sure, it fails, but so does Sylvie’s brute force approach. This episode starts with them both going the physical route, but here we see Loki employ his magic in hopes of duping the woman into trusting him (disguised as her, I’m gonna say, dead husband – played by Alex Van). Uh…what the fuck was the point? We already know these two don’t trust each other, was that really necessary? Was Loki testing her? Was she testing him? And then…were they mad at each other for testing the other?Īt least the scene where they come upon the lady who won’t leave her home ( Susan Gallagher) makes more sense in that it displays the different ways these two go about problem solving. Then, to make matters even more weird, she comes back at him with how it was a stupid suggestion, telling him the temp-pad needs a massive power source to charge. But then, he seems to know it won’t work and chastises her for trying to fool him. ![]() One of the more confusing scenes is when Loki asks if a neon sign can power the temp-pad and Sylvie seems to pretend it can in order to trick him into giving it to her. As she mentioned in the previous episode, she’s not him. This leads Sylvie to tease Loki about his “consulting” for the TVA, while Loki points out that her grand plan to destroy the Time Keepers and just walk away isn’t exactly a very Loki thing to do. We also get an idea of what makes a Loki, a Loki: independence, authority, and style. Everything here is about what’s said, and there are some real nuggets dropped.įor one thing, we learn the variant doesn’t like to be called “variant,” nor is she partial to Loki – which suits our Loki just fine – instead, she’s picked up the alias Sylvie. Nothing happens, story-wise, through action. The best things we get out of this episode are in the dialog, the action that takes place is really pointless. She needs him alive because he’s hidden the temp-pad, and he needs her because she’s the only one who knows how to power the thing. The conversation that ensues establishes them as a brand new buddy-cop pair in this show. They take shelter from the falling moon debris, and Sylvie tries to enchant Loki, but it fails. The downside? The temp-pad he used to get them there is all out of juice! In Loki’s defense, his action was taken as a means of preventing both of their deaths at the hands of Ravonna Renslayer. A doomed planet with a moon hours away from crushing it. Seriously though, Loki’s attempt to join her, delay her chance to board the golden elevator (which would presumably take her to the Time Keepers), and ultimately result in the two of them being stranded on Lamentis-1. She’s a gal with a plan, but unfortunately a man fucks it all up. Though, in fairness, Sylvie isn’t all brute strength either. What he lacks in brawn, he makes up for in brains for sure. He’s a chatty fuck, which I believe is part of his strategy. I like that despite Loki not having fighting skills quite up to Sylvie’s par, he doesn’t give up. Loki arrives not long after, knives in hand, ready to confront his better (I’d say) self. She’s smart and strong, and not above using the branch sticks to kill anyone who won’t stay down. We get to see Sylvie kicking some minuteman ass. Her and the variant aka Sylvie have escaped for a little girl’s night…or have they? We witness Sylvie using her enchantment on the poor minute woman, invading an ancient memory in hopes of scoring intel on the Time Keepers. Hunter C-20 opens up Wednesday’s episode of Loki. ![]() The best laid plans of mice and variants often go awry… ![]()
