Great episode. I loved the end. I seriously thought they’d killed the two leads in episode four.
Like most folks, I figured the time keepers were fake but still liked seeing it come true. As for Sylki, it didn’t weird me out at all.
It seems to me that the TVA prunes both ‘nexus points” (Loki escaping the Avengers) AND potentially Alternate Universe versions as well (Sylvie’s timeline being just a bit too close to the Sacred one maybe?).

So ... anybody remember when that one Nebula heard the other Nebula's cyborg implants, then took her prisoner, replaced her as a time-travelling Avenger, then used the deception to help Thanos get an Infinity Gauntlet way earlier than he should ... leading to his own death and that of his entire army, before he could ever do the Snap in his own universe ... which, you have to imagine, was a hugely impactful event for the entire universe?
Yeah, none of that was a nexus event! Because reasons!
I guess, seeing as we just found out the TVA was built on lies anyway, looking for some consistency about nexus events and timelines doesn't really make much sense, at this point.
Whoze the real, behind-the-curtains bad guy? It's gonna be a Loki, you guys! Because it was never about keeping order or protecting any Sacred Timeline, it was just about creating Multiversal Mischief, as only the evilest of Lokis could do. And young Sylvie never did anything to create a nexus event, he basically just decided to **** with her for the lulz.
Series ends with heroic protagonist Team Loki taking down their worst-version-of-themselves counterpart, and they all get to ride off into the multiversal sunset.
And whatever, for that 'narcissist" stuff! You really wouldn't want to do a hot alternate version of you? Okay, fine -- guess I'm just weird! :P

It's self care! You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else...(just don't ... love yourself...)
In retrospect, Renslayer asking Mobius if he could go anywhere wasn't a friendly question - she was testing him to see if any latent memories were resurfacing.
If Loki being teleported at the end wasn't just him, and it transports anyone who's been "pruned" does that mean there's a mail cart full of Infinity Stones sitting around? (or was it just Renslayer's stick that does it and that's why she wanted Sylvie to "stick" her?)

This is my opinion as well. A Loki that grows up idolizing Valkyries is more likely to grow up to be non evil ( she already had more empathy than our Loki does-check her horrified reaction to that guy getting pruned) or way less evil than our Loki. I think that's what set the TVA on her.

Given how long they have dealt with time travel and alternate universes you think this would come up more often for the TVA with some horny time travelers. XD I don't mind the idea in theory but I also would like them more in a brother/sister style relationship.
I also love the Sylvie idolizing the Valkyries to make her more heroic theory for why her timeline was erased. That makes a lot of sense.
Is it that weird? I mean comparatively we've never seen something like that, a person in love with themselves. It's not like they're siblings or anything, so it's not GOT levels of messed up. Just 2 people who are each other's counterparts who have caught feelings. It's the next level of self love, I guess.
They're really not very similar at all, not in looks or personality, imo.
