The episode starts off directly where the last one left off, with some overlaps of narrative perspective. Going at incredible pace, it promises something magnificent to come, but drops off poorly after that. Bringing Sylvie and Loki so close to the Golden Elevator, only for them to then conveniently teleport to Lamentis 1 is a very overdone and boring desicion. Was it too much for us to just get a glimpse of the Time Keepers?

Now, to extend the journey and give more time for Loki and Sylvie to grow as partners is a good idea, but this just does not feel like the way to do it. The episode does provide for some great bonding betwen the two main characters and teases a troubled past between Sylvie and the Time Keepers. And Loki talking about Frigga was also a great moment. So was him snapping at Sylvie about her 'glorious purpose', now knowing how it all works.

But there is incredible stuff too. Towards the ending, the almost two and a half-minute long continous shot is a great way to show the chaos on the moon and the fights really seem tight and congested during those moments. Once more, the show provides a brilliant color palette in purple and black, and immediately seperates itself in terms of looks from the previous episodes. Just a few lines of dialogue, are the highlight of the episode, those being the ones about the TVA workers being Variants.

While it is still on par with the previous episode in terms of production quality and direction, it takes a massive dip in narrative and pace. And even though that narrative is still important and really good, this was not time for it, considering the previous installment's promise. It leaves off at a low point for our main characters, and with a hint of a shift in power against the Time Keepers. It is all a set-up for things to come, and is really just a forgettable episode except for a few moments. Tom Hiddleston's brilliant acting cannot save this one.

As strangely entertaining it is to watch Tom Hiddleston sing asgardian songs, Episode 3 is the weakest one in the series so far. This was a pure 50 minutes of Loki and Sylvie travelling, thinking of plans that ultimately always go wrong. Sophia Martino's acting is questionable in the first half of the episode, but it's either I got used to it or she started feeling more comfortable the more scenes they filmed.

Felt a bit like a filler episode, which I didn't think we would have, considering it's only a 6 episode series, but gave a bit of back story and explanations to the Sylvie character.

Y'all I honestly can't wait to see the state of the MCU after Loki ends. A Multiverse is guaranteed but other than that, it could go in any direction.

I thought i was in control of the episode the whole time, but it surprised me, every aspect of filmmaking was great(Music, Visuals, cinematography, production design, costume, hair makeup, Action, framing ) everything you see and hear has meaning or some short of intention by director!! Sure you can dislike the choices they made but director knows the film production very well! She is fellow film grad working day job...... check her story out, she is amazing! And if you saying this episode is not eventfull(This is TV not every episode will have answers, Game of thrones was no eventfull half of the time, it was about character interactions) or boring or stalling then you all are wrong, this episode we had character development of loki that we been waiting for and there are many hidden details! Sylvie and loki's chemistry was great, Bisha K. Ali wrote it, we can see the bonding but we know anything can happen, we also learn more about TVA and how mobius can finally retire riding jetski..... loki free mobius from TVA propaganda lmao!

Unlike several other commenters, I like Silvie/Lady Loki, and think that she and original Loki have good chemistry.

But I agree that Loki hasn't asked obvious questions of her and about her, and the whole variant situation. In what way is she a variant? What common history or ancestry do they share? Is she also of Ice Giant extraction? Does she know Asgard or the other Realms, or any of the people Loki knows?

And the setting for this episode -- a doomed planet (moon, whatever) full of downtrodden, doomed people -- does feel like a warmed-over Doctor Who episode (or the setup for Snowpiercer, I suppose). This is only strengthened by Sylvie's north-of-England accent.

After the stellar first two episodes, this one is truly baffling. Loki's actions are completely out of character and, wait... Did he just move an entire building with his mind?! Forget about the fact that we've never seen him do telekinesis before this show... If his telekinesis powers are so great, why wouldn't he use them *all the time*?! He moves a building with his mind and goes for Thanos's throat with a butter knife?!

This episode was so brilliantly made! Loved every aspect of it and oh my the chemistry between Loki and Sylvie was just so beautiful! Obviously can't wait to see more of it but the most important reveal of the episode was about the TVA and everyone out there being just humans, can't wait to see where this arc leads. But definitely the most mesmerising moment was Loki singing the song and explaining the meaning of love to Sylvie, it was just wonderful! I'm so in love in with this show for showing who Loki is really is and what range he's capable of! Can't believe it's mid season already and just can't wait to be blown away by the upcoming episodes!

Very divisive episode. Some will still praise the episode for its quality visuals and intriguing storyline.

The drastic change from a mysterious, dangerous, and possibly insane version of Loki to just another MCU character was jarring. Forcing a cooperation between the two felt rushed.

Let's hope the next episode isn't devoted entirely to escaping the planet or this series will have flung off track from a brilliant and mysterious investigation that pushes the MCU to new heights- to another watchable adventure.
