Notes on Ouroboros
Big statue of John Majors. Awkward
Loki running, chased by Mobius
We’re supposed to think we’re in a different time stream, right?
Very Attack of the Clones
Why’s Casey on Janitorial duty?
Casey’s listening to a relaxation tape!
(Sound of car crashing to the ground)
Loki: I’m sure she’s fine.
Making the big crack on the floor was a very clever way to illustrate the time jump
What does ‘backwards in time’ even mean in a place outside time?
And now Casey knows who he is, but doesn’t remember the earlier meeting?
So did the branches start growing simultaneously at all times in the TVA?
Miss Minutes!
X-5?
Ah, we’re back to Mobius’ jetski desires.
What does this scene even accomplish? Just to meet X5?
X-5: Mobius. Mobius! I don’t care?
Mobius: So why’d you ask?
Who are these judges now? They mention that Mobius’ old boss is gone, so this must be the replacement figures
Cool effect with Loki ‘time sneezing’
Judges council
Renslayer
Oh, it was X-5 that pruned him last season
So Loki is in the same room, in the past, when there were pictures of Kang instead of a friendly mural
I love that the one judge is openly sleeping
*** We just need a moment to explain
I love the way that this show uses the visuals of old tech.
Who is Kang talking to on the reel to reel?
A woman. Who is she?
Is that Sylvie?
X-5: have you seen this… robot head… on the table?
X15 is not wrong about the ethics of what they’ve been doing
The most difficult part of changing is admitting that you had been wrong
X-15 and Mobius had succeeded in changing the Judge’s mind before Loki interrupted
Cool reveal of the statue by pruning the mural
X-5 and the judge seem suspiciously close to one another
So now the judges know that Sylvie is responsible for what’s happening and are looking for her
Mobius is actually being really good in his efforts to calm Loki down
The ethical dilemma is interesting
Mobius: I’d ask who won, but…
Loki: It was a draw.
Mobius: You both kicked each other through time doors simultaneously?
Loki’s considering that he who remains might have been in the right
They get their memories wiped more than once. That’s why Casey didn’t remember him
Mobius’ argument about time not flowing in the TVA goes directly against Loki flipping back and forth
Repairs and advancement?
Loki: We need to deal with He Who Remains
Mobius: In order to do that I need a Loki who remains.
Panning to reveal that someone else was in the elevator the whole time is a solid joke
They banter SO well
I love Mobius bluffing his way through the conversation with Ouroboros when he clearly can’t remember him at all.
Ouroboros never gets to sleep?
Love how Loki keeps bating Mobius into making mistakes with his conversation with Ouroboros
Morbius: That. That’s what’s been happening.
Ouroboros: Wow. Time slipping.
Mobius: Wait. Y…You know that?
Ouroboros: Yeah.
Mobius: You’ve seen that?
Ouroboros: Yeah.
Mobius: Can you fix that?
Ouroboros: No.
Loki in the past gave Ouroboros the nickname that he’d just been told in the future
We’re seeing the changes that Loki is making in the past affecting the future in real time
Temporal Aura Extractor. Fun technobabble justified
He needs to get to the Temporal loom.
Wait, Time is manufactured?
When you prune yourself you’re released from time.
The argument about who has it worse is priceless.
Mobius? Live? What’s the quality of life with no skin?
The branching is overloading the temporal loom
So all the new universes are taking more energy than the loom can keep up with.
Raw time is refined into physical timeline
Is that going to be the overarching plot for the season?
Oh, ok. Ticking clock for getting Loki re-synched. They have to do it before they can fix the Temporal Loom problem and thus save reality
Meanwhile the time judges are going after Sylvie
Mobius really cars about Loki by this point
Just realized the connection between Mobius and Ouroboros
Hoof it. Ha
The duct tape gag!
I love how unwieldy the vacuum hose connected to him is
The time loom looks a lot like the gate at Asgard
Of course the fix is to him it. Keeping in line with the old technology aesthetic
Loki, desperate to get pruned
The closing doors is a fantastic image
Great pacing how Mobius clearly isn’t going to make it to the doors in time
Glimpse of Sylvie
Loki missile coming in
Who was on the phone that was ringing?
Where are all the soldiers going if not after Sylvie?
Miss Minutes does feel like a threat

You can see how much it means to Sylvie to be back in the real work/timeline
