We're only a few hours out from the premier. So we need a thread. Gentle reminder that there will be spoilers ahead.

I am pretty sure I'll still be at BFFs tonight so there's a good chance I'll be watching tonight. The live blogging will be real.

So weird seeing the stones as paper weights....heartbreaking.
Also heartbreaking - Frigga, Odin, Thor. Thanos. Foresight given. The tape running out.
Please let that be a flerkin!
Time travel always gives me a headache.
So, is Steve Rogers also a variant? Or was he always supposed to 'go back into time'? Since the whole time heist was also supposed to happen? Yes, everything links to Endgame for me somehow.
Nice explanation of the TVA, though. And Moebius reminding us which Loki this is.
Yep, can't wait to see Dr. Strange 2 and how it all links up. And the Eternals.
Hiddleston is great. Owen Wilson is a great match. Marvel has the best casting people around IMO.
Quite the cliffhanger - the episode went by quickly, even as necessary exposition.
I wonder how the story works if someone isn't somewhat familiar with the MCU.

What if I am a robot and don’t know it 😂 haven’t we all had those days As if my attention has not already been grabbed. Infinity stone tie in? Yes please. Can I just say how utterly fantastic Tom Hiddleston is in this role. And I don’t even mind Owen Wilson Owen Wilsoning all over the place 😂 (I don’t mind him but he has such a specific, consistent persona lol)
Loved it. It was a good first episode, very excited for more! I’m just so so happy to have all this great new stuff.

greykitty, my understanding is that Steve after Endgame is not a Variant, or he would not have been able to show up at all old at the end. He would have been reset. Sacred Timeline and all that. I also was all "woah" at the infinity stones. Too bad the Avengers couldn't just show up at the TVA and recquisition some

I loved Marvel’s explanation of D.B. Cooper 😂 It took me a bit to get it. I was like "What does this scene come from?" Much confusion, even when she called him Mr. Cooper.

I understood the meaning and impact, I was just confused as to how there were so many. Basically, the TVA exists outside of the normal flow of things, so every time they catch a variant with a stone, they bring it back. They have ended the extra timeline, so the stone remains where it should be in the Sacred Timeline, and they now have the extraneous one. Like in the original timeline, the tesseract goes back to Asgard. That is still the "Sacred Timeline", so Loki's tesseract is a different one because his timeline branched. Multiverse theory.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one hoping the cat is a Flerken.
And I started laughing uncontrollably at the DB Cooper scene. Immediately thought of the thread we had here, on GD I think, about all the conspiracies.

I know, just with the devil on the stained glass and the guy in the hood ( who is apparently also Loki?) doing the murdering and all it was too perfect of a joke that I couldn’t pass up 😂

Have to say listening to Loki and thoughts about free choice, reminded me of many afternoons after philosophy and theology classes debating a lot of 'what if's'. I still remember a chat about is there sin without free will - with a side look at angels versus human beings, as usually considered in the faith I grew up in.

If the TVA is so advanced, why couldn’t they track Loki’s location through the collar? And they use a pull a ticket system? Lol I don’t mind Owen Wilson, but I prefer Luke. Any comic book people want to spoiler the mobius storyline?

Any comic book people want to spoiler the mobius storyline? I thought the same thing about the collar. But I try not to be that kind of viewer, skeptical of everything. I can’t help it sometimes.

I have a lot of thoughts. I really enjoyed it though! I don’t love the choice of color production - I prefer more vibrant choices but oh well.
I enjoyed Loki’s mocking of the explanation for the timekeepers, because the video did seem cheesy, though I think that’s the point. It’s crazy to think of how many infinity stones are just chilling there because of how many times they had to retrieve them.
