This week’s Watch Party is a mini-edition with just Elizabeth and Kathryn, because Kathryn’s obsessed with a big fan of Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth just likes all things Loki, so we had to watch the first episode “Glorious Purpose” as soon as it came out, and we chatted on IM the whole time.
(Warning: many many spoilers below.)
Kathryn

Wobble wobble
Whoosh
Elizabeth
Hee, that reset thing is awesome
LOVE THE ROBOT
Kathryn
Smiley face robot!
Elizabeth
Hee “glare, POINT”
Kathryn
“What if I WAS a robot?”
Elizabeth
Making Loki walk a crisscross waiting line is just one more form of punishment
Kathryn
Love the 60’s animation
Elizabeth
Gorgeous
Rather, the style of the time keepers was gorgeous. Everything else is gloriously goofy.
Yipe!
Kathryn
Owen Wilson, right?
Elizabeth
Yep!
Kathryn
Oh I love that stick person hologram
Elizabeth
Yes!
I do hope those reset charges don’t just kill everybody in the branch…
Oh that’s one of the actresses from San Junipero isn’t it?
Kathryn
Yep!
Oh boy, I was wondering if the Avengers were gonna be on the hook
Elizabeth
Same, one of those “fixed point in time” event thingees.
Kathryn

“Don’t rush me.”
Elizabeth
“I like it. It’s appropriate.”
Oooo love that background city wow
Kathryn
Nice!
Elizabeth
_thunderous applause for the artists_
Kathryn
Right?
Elizabeth
“This does feel like a Killing Me kinda room.”
Kathryn
“Trust is for children. And dogs.”
Elizabeth
Loki’s got some nice forearms.
Kathryn
He’s got nice everything.
Elizabeth
Hee
Huh, that was like a couple hours ago as far as he’s concerned
Kathryn
And this plane thing is new.
Elizabeth
Lookin sharp Tom
Hee, she couldn’t help but smile back
Kathryn
Loki’s Greatest Hits
Elizabeth
Hee
Kathryn
Ironically, Loki’s the biggest defender of free will there is.
He definitely doesn’t believe in predestination.
Elizabeth
No indeed
Kathryn
Ooh, this is gonna hurt.
Elizabeth
Oooo, the idea that he’s just a stepping stone for better people..
Kathryn
Oo, picked his pocket.
Elizabeth
So sneaky

Kathryn
They just walked through a gate to an oil field
Elizabeth
Credits!
Kathryn
Yay!
Elizabeth
Even the credits are a thing of beauty
Kathryn
Suppose there’s an end credit scene?
Elizabeth
Waiting…..
Kathryn
Eee, there are Infinity stones on people’s desks
Elizabeth
We haven’t gotten to a “skip credits” button yet so maybe…
And there it is
The skip credits button I mean
MY GOODNESS I LOVED THAT
Kathryn
Well I’M happy
Elizabeth
I didn’t know what I wanted with this series but that is definitely what I wanted.
Kathryn
Man, knocked it out of the park.
I remember someone suggested grading people on “How Attractive Are You When Crying” and it was on a scale from Toby McGuire to Tom Hiddleston.
Elizabeth
Truth.
Kathryn
I love the back and forth between Hiddleston and Wilson.
Elizabeth
His spiteful little expression when he was screwing around with the reset device
Kathryn
His charming smile when he was DB Cooper.
(Definitely think that’s going to please a lot of people, the idea that the famous hijacker DB Cooper was Loki after losing a bet.)
Elizabeth
Hee. Can’t wait to see more flashbacks.
