New Streaming: Loki- Episode 5

 As the end (for now) approaches, what happened last week?  Let's look back and see...

Loki ends up in a strange place with other versions of himself, including a kid, an Alligator and his older (alternate) self.

What in the what now? 
He knows that he can't stay here, especially when he learns about the creature that can easily destroy him.

He needs to rally the Troops (as it were).  Can he?
More Lokis enter the fray, which can either be a good thing or a bad thing.

Aw hell- you know it's a bad thing!
Can he get even one of them to help him?

Will help from the outside come?

Will this all lead up to a big, final tease for the next Episode?

To find out, stream Episode 5 now.
A big, exciting Episode that leaves you wanting more.  It is the penultimate Episode, so that is the goal, right?  If you aren't on board at this point, this Episode won't sway you though.  It is chock full of crazy stuff for people other than me to obsess over in extreme detail.  For instance, they put a giant Yellowjacket head (in helmet) in one shot.  Someone then gets to explain how this is a riff on a bit in Old Man Logan where a Giant-Man skeleton is a landmark.  Thanks, people even nerdier than me.  Outside of all the crazy, random stuff in the background (including a Polybius Machine and Frog Thor!), there's lots of substance here.  The alternate Lokis each get a moment or two to shine.  As everyone will tell you, the randomness of Alligator Loki (or Lokigator) and the stage presence of Richard E. Grant as Old Loki steal the show.  Main Loki gets some great moments too, whether it is being perplexed at the insanity or finally bonding with his new allies Mobius and Sylvie.  There's alot of world-building here and everyone has theories about the finale.  As for me, I'm just going to enjoy stuff like the first appearance of the legendary Thanos Copter!

Next time, the big finale.  Will it stick the landing like previous Shows?
