It’s not a bummer of an episode, but it should have been. Billions of people were wiped away and all we got were blank stares. Where’s the big budget going if not to another big SFX destruction sequence? Not to say the episode was bad, this episode of Marvel’s Loki has set up some things to look forward to. Loki is tempted to the dark side and we love to see it!

When the guys are done having fun, they ponder their own mortality. To take the edge off the existential dread, try to answer some wild “would you rather” questions.
Dr. Pádraig MacCarron joins to talk about Arya’s death genie. Then Elysia joins to discuss Edgar Allan Poe’s influence on GRRM.
Here’s your last chance to get on the lawn. Jim and A.Ron are reading your feedback and discussing Ahsoka within the Star Wars canon. Will they walk back on their comments?

There are SPOILERS ahead. Get the scoop on what Jim and A.Ron are watching behind the scenes!
This episode is a cry for help from the writer’s room. This episode reveals that the non-linear storytelling was more of a crutch than anything else. However, the emotional beats within this episode reach a depth hitherto never seen on The Walking Dead. As we gear up for the finale, we’re holding out hope that this could actually stick the landing (in TWD terms of course).
What is a squisher? And does Arya encounter a squisher in the fellow called Biter?
