Loki season 2, episode 5, titled “Science/Fiction”, was a thrilling ride that gave fans a plethora of goosebumps moments.
The episode followed Loki donned by Tom Hiddleston as he tried to save the TVA and his friends from being erased by the Temporal Loom. Along the way, he discovered new powers, met his friends in different timelines, and faced his own fears and desires.
“I can re-write the story”
One of the most exciting moments was when Loki learned to control his time-slipping ability, which allowed him to jump across timelines and universes. He used this power to reunite with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), Mobius (Owen Wilson), Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), Casey (Eugene Cordero), and O.B. (Sasha Lane), who had all been sent back to their original lives by the TVA. Loki convinced them to join him in his mission to save the TVA and stop the Temporal Loom from destroying everything.
Another highlight was when Loki and Sylvie shared a heartfelt conversation about their feelings for each other and their reasons for wanting to save the TVA. Loki admitted that he was afraid of being alone and losing his friends, while Sylvie confessed that she wanted to find out who she really was. The two also kissed, confirming their romantic connection and causing fans to swoon.
