Binary System Podcast – Watch Party #32 – Loki Season 1 Finale

Most of the time we end up watching a show a few days (weeks, months) after it aired. But there was no way we were going to risk getting spoiled for this one. Below is the conversation we had on Messenger while watching the season finale of Loki.

(Warning: many many spoilers below.)

Kathryn
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little stressed about this episode.

Elizabeth
Saaaame

Kathryn
I want it to be good, but more importantly I want it to be a good OUTCOME for Loki.

Elizabeth
Exactly! Not really interested in “bittersweet” TBH.

Kathryn
Ready to play!

Elizabeth
Ready!

Kathryn
playing

Elizabeth
Playing!

Kathryn
I spotted that pen that Ravonna had that Mobeus looked at. Roosevelt High School. Waiting for that to come into play.

Heeere we go.

Elizabeth
Man alive I’m nervous

Weird intro

Kathryn
The voiceover here is new

Lovely visuals as usual

Elizabeth
Is that the time stream you think?

Kathryn
Mmmmaybe

Elizabeth
The colors look like that one artist we really like

Kathryn
Hmm, unsure Sylvie, that’s also new.

And yes, the colors are sumptuous.

YIKES

Elizabeth
AAA

I do not trust that clock

Kathryn
Me neither

Oo, offering Loki a chance to live AND win.

Elizabeth
Everything he ever wanted

Kathryn
Uh oh, Loki’s tempted

Elizabeth
So’s Sylvie

Kathryn
Ee, surprisingly menacing tone from that clock.

Clock’s got her own agenda

I hope we get to hear why there are cracks everywhere

Elizabeth
The front door looked like it’s been busted into already.

What’s that trope that says anyone who eats an apple in a movie is at least a little bit of an asshole?

Kathryn
A bit, yep

Oh look, unkillable?

Those windows remind me of the Sanctum Sanctorum in Doctor Strange

Mobius, coming for payback!

Elizabeth
Well that’s creepy

Kathryn
“I paved the road. You, you just walked down it.”

I really HATE this kind of predestination trickery.

Oh, we’re getting a little meta here.

Beautifully framed shot there.

Elizabeth
Very

“I love your shoes I love your hair..”

Heeeeee’s not all there, is he

Kathryn
Nope nope nope.

Oh boy. The dictator you know versus the one you don’t

Elizabeth
Who’s to say he’s one of the good variants?

Kathryn
Oh man, offering Loki (and Loki) the chance to be in CHARGE.

Elizabeth
And he could STILL be lying.

Kathryn
“We’re all villains here.”

Uh oh?

Elizabeth
“sooooo I fibbed”

Kathryn
“Let’s just talk about it.”

Craaaap

Elizabeth
No fighting no fighting no fighting

Kathryn
“Because you can’t trust. And I can’t be trusted.”

BRILLIANT LINE

Elizabeth
Lovely

Kathryn
Yaaaaaa!

That was quite a gamble, Loki

Elizabeth
eeeee my heart’s racing

Kathryn
My heart’s melting

Elizabeth
Awwwwww

YAAAAAAY

Kathryn
We haven’t ever seen Loki kiss before, have we

Elizabeth
NO

Kathryn
AND NOW I’M SAD DAMNIT

Elizabeth
Wow

Kathryn
STOP MAKING LOKI SAD

Elizabeth
Ohhh what’s he up to now…

Kathryn
Whaaaaa

Elizabeth
Ooooooooo nooooooooo

Kathryn
YAAAAAAAAA

Please tell me we get a post credit scene

Elizabeth
AAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU’RE ENDING IT THERE???

THAT’S ALL WE GET????

Kathryn
Jeeeeezzus

Elizabeth
I mean thank GOD there’s a season 2…

Kathryn
Hang on, Imma fast forward

Nope, that was it!

Elizabeth
I’m gobsmacked

Kathryn
Okay, now we get to wait for season two for WHAT DAMN WELL BETTER BE A REUNION between Loki and Sylvie.

Elizabeth
Bastards had me completely fooled with that kiss

Kathryn
same same same

Elizabeth
Heh, lot of instagrammers are gonna be bummed we didn’t get a shot of Mobius on a jet ski…

Kathryn
RIGHT

What an absolutely glorious kiss we got in this episode though, I mean damn.

Elizabeth
Oh man when he said “you’re an analyst right” and I realized what he meant my heart stopped

Kathryn
Wiped out everyone’s memory? Accidentally went to the wrong time stream? WHO THE HECK KNOWS.
