Such ominous intro music!

I can't believe Loki let the Tesseract out of his sight!
Whoaaaaa, the TVA can slow you down O_O! Potentially bad news for speedsters.
I assume resetting the timeline means deleting that branch, so basically killing everyone in it. Doesn't sound like a reset though. So maybe that universe is just reset to right before it split off or even to the very beginning. That would mean there are other universes, but they all have to have the same stuff happening. Which would make a shockingly un-diverse multiverse.

Hunter B-15 has a tally on her helmet. I wonder of what. Variants she caught, timelines she erased?
I love the stylized hourglass in the TVA logo.

The undressing-machine disrespects the fine Asgardian leather! :O
Ha, Loki is just one of us, not reading shit before signing it.
"Do a lot of people not know if they're robots?" Ha. But also: Why are robots killed? Is that just a side effect of the temporal-aura machine or does the TVA think robots don't belong there?

Miss Minutes is a My Little Pony! :oD
Multiverse info, finally! "Nexus event"! "Branch off into madness"! Argh, stop teasing us and give the us the multiverse for which we came here!
So the TVA workers were created by the Time-Keepers for the specific purpose of running the TVA. I wonder what species they are.
I'm not sure I get the point of picking up Variants. It would make sense to collect them in order to inform them why they need to rectify their divergence from the path (if it's still possible), so that overall this timeline still adheres to what was predetermined. But since it gets reset before the Variant gets sent to trial, correction doesn't seem to be the point. And the reset timeline is left without the Variant in it, which is bound to mess things up again. Or maybe resetting also means pausing that TL until the newly informed Variant gets put back (and informing them was necessary, so they wouldn't cause the Nexus Event again). Then the question is what happens to universes whose Variants were killed off, like that ticketless guy. Are those just deleted?

Let me take a little detour to WandaVision: Okay, so far there really isn't the multiverse as we understand it, but that doesn't stand in the way of Pietro having been Peter. The TVA operates all over time and by the end of the show Loki will probably have destroyed them, some universes will be free to unfold from their very beginnings. (Whoa, maybe resets are the reason why the X-Men timeline isn't in sync with Wanda's!)
Alternatively: Maybe alternate universes already exist (and by alternate I mean really different, not just another universe that's adhering to the Sacred Timeline), but the TVA lets them be, so they can pretend they're doing their job right or for whatever reason.

Ooh, someone's murdering TVA agents. At first I suspected the kid of being Loki. But when asked who did it, he points at the devil in the stained-glass window. For no good reason at all (because at that point I wasn't making the connection to Loki's horn helmet) I thought this was a reference to Loki. Maybe because it's a time-travel show, I just automatically suspect Loki to turn up everywhere. Plus, this murder was done with knives.
I have a feeling that chewing gum will turn up again in a stable time loop. Loki will take it from the TVA evidence and give it to the boy. There's always gotta be a thing that has no origin.

"You can smell the cologne of 2 Tony Starks." XD
Obviously the Time-Keepers are Avengers fans, that's why what the heroes did is what was supposed to happen.
I have no idea what reset could mean in regard to a Variant. Does anyone else have any theories?
"You ridiculous bureaucrats will not dictate how my story ends!" - "It's not your story, Mr. Laufeyson. It never was." Loki's gonna have the last laugh and I'm so looking forward to it.

"I'm gonna burn this place to the ground." Have I mentioned how much I'm looking forward to it?
What's the nightmare department and why would a place that's responsible for time have such a thing?

"If looks could kill." Oh, would you say Loki is looking daggers at you?
I like how Loki's "song of freedom" speech actually describes his current situation.
They dare not only remind me of Couldson's death, but show it too!
I had expected the D.B. Cooper thing to be a TVA mission.
With his "cruel, elaborate trick" speech Loki is describing himself. I like that style of writing. Cool way to get some truths out of someone not ready to talk about themselves.
Mobius just shows Loki Frigga's death without even a warning that this might be hard to watch. Is that why Loki will unleash the multiverse, so there can be a reality in which Frigga won't die? In which he'll be free from the constraints of the Sacred Timeline?
Am I seeing things or is it super suspicious that Mobius is emphasizing how Frigga's death "happens again and again and again" because it's predetermined by the TVA? What if Mobius is manipulating Loki into carrying out his threat against the TVA? Mobius continues about how Loki is doomed to hurt & kill people, because it'll make other people better. When I first watched the ep, I thought the point of dishing out this information was to wear Loki down, to make him accept his situation. But Loki is very powerful and he knows there's no way out for him unless he makes the TVA go away. Mobius will know that Loki knows this. Holy shit, I didn't expect to find any ulterior motives during my rewatch. Not that I think of Mobius as a villain now. I suspect he just wants to free people from the dictatorship of the Time-Keepers.

"Hey, I know you, you're that criminal with the blue box!" DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE, OMG! XD
Poor Casey doesn't know what a fish is (Whoa, does that mean the poor cat we've seen earlier also doesn't know?). Oh god, he probably meant it leterally when he said he lived his entire life behind a desk.
Whoa, Infinity Stones just lying around! I wonder if they would work outside of their home timelines. That way White Vision could get a Mind Stone. Anyway, the revelation of the Stones being powerless in the TVA has robbed him of hope for now.

Aw, it's so nice that Loki gets to see the good things that happened to Sacred-Timeline!Loki. But he also sees the death of the rest of his family and himself. That'll be such motivation as soon as he finds hope again that he can beat the TVA.

At first Loki's "I don't enjoy hurting people" felt like a retcon. I mean, it's okay, he could be an asshole and maybe later get the character growth that shows him there are more satisfying things to do. I can enjoy a good villain. But apparently, because Tom Hiddleston had always said so, even in 2012 Loki hadn't been a full-on villain.
Well, I wouldn't call the Tesseract useless. He can still teleport through the TVA, that is totally worth something!
"The Variant we're hunting is... you." I mean, obviously. But also YESSSS, this is gonna be good. But Loki forgets to ask what he's getting out of it. What happens when he succeeds? Would he have to live in the TVA forever? I can't imagine he'd like that.

There are time machines?! As in more than just the one the Avengers have? Okay, I guess it was supposed to be expected. In the future they'll be more of those. I can't believe I hadn't taken the future into account yet.
Is this Loki wearing a cloak so we don't see the TVA clothes or something else identifying him as the 2012 Variant? Because I'm pretty sure we're dealing with the same Variant here. Or it's another one and he/she/they will be in league with our Variant? Because how better to end the TVA then to team up with your other selves?! Loki did say that you can only trust yourself.
