REVIEW: Loki – Season 2, Episode 4, “Heart of the TVA”
There’s a moment in “Heart of the TVA,” this week’s episode of Loki, where Loki tells Sylvie, “I promise, this will all make sense.” He’s talking to us as much as he is to her, assuring the audience that there is an explanation for the weird, confusing events of the episode. But after ...

“Journey Into Mystery” adds insult to last week’s injury, further derailing this once-promising show and acting as a poorly-fitting puzzle piece that’s been jammed in where it doesn’t belong by people who want to end the game and go to bed. Like the similarly truncated The Falcon and the W...
