Hiddleston and di Martino both grip the screen with ease, and along with some stunning visuals cloaked in “bisexual lighting”, a strong mood was definitely set on the beleaguered moon. To be serious for a moment, it meant a lot to me personally that Loki was finally acknowledged as bisexual when he connected with Sylvie during all this, and I imagine it meant a lot to some other people, too. You can take the prince out of Asgard but you can’t take the Asgard out of the prince! Naturally, because Loki, this eventually involved getting drunk and making a suspicious spectacle of himself while trying to charm Sylvie into opening up to him about her whole deal. The two butted stubborn heads on Lamentis-1 as they peacocked their magical talents in some hilariously ineffectual ways. Watching Loki and Sylvie trade jibes and play games with each other made for a cracking episode of television, and I can already envision the many memes spreading far and wide across the internet from their prickly banter. Sylvie’s original grand plan, which involved bombing the sacred timeline and ambushing the Time-Keepers’ hiding place while the TVA scrambled to put out temporal fires, went phenomenally awry thanks to the God of Mischief – and he may end up regretting it. Luckily, Tom Hiddleston and Sophia di Martino have terrific chemistry and it’s a joy to watch them scrap at the edge of annihilation while marooned together and forced to come up with a way off the rock. It mostly succeeded in doing so, considering its focus was entirely on two characters plotting a Snowpiercer-esque escape from a doomed moon. There was a lot going on in the show’s most Doctor Who episode yet, which abandoned its crime procedural vibe to focus on splashing Marvel’s cash further than previous installments. It also made Loki canonically bisexual in the MCU and opened up a can of TVA worms that will keep us wondering about the true nature and identity of the Time-Keepers for a while longer. The third episode of Marvel’s Loki, “Lamentis”, threw our main man and the Variant he’s been chasing into a deadly situation from which there ultimately appeared to be no escape. This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s Loki episode 3.
