** Frank being captured and brainwashed by the TVA to serve as one of their workers makes a lot of sense if one takes into account that he and the two prisoners he escaped with were never seen again after they got off Alcatraz. It's incredibly likely that the TVA were more than happy to take advantage of his missing status to capture and brainwash him into their perfect obedient worker.

* Why are Loki and Sylvie the only people who weren't reset to their original selves after failing to stop the Loom from imploding in the previous episode? Because their branched timelines don't exist anymore, having been pruned by the TVA years prior. The other members of the group that Loki brings together all come from timelines that are currently branching and haven't been pruned, meaning the TVA failsafe was able to send them to a place to be reset. Because Loki and Sylvie don't have branched timelines to go back to, they remain exactly as they are.

* Sylvie choosing to spare Timely when she made it her mission to kill any He Who Remains variants makes since when she found him, he was on his knees and pleading.

* Miss Minutes being mistaken for a ghost or monster when she still looks like a cartoon... ''to us.'' Cartoons didn't exist in the 1800s, and people were going to see her the way today's people see the biblically accurate angels meme. (And if anyone would know about the history of animation, it would be Disney!)

* Brad trying to to quote Galileo or UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill while in the TVA's holding cell with Dox seems like a funny little way of trying to rouse people up, but it also makes sense to some extent. After all, Brad's experience with movie making likely had him memorize a couple of monologues or play different roles before he was caught by Mobius and Loki, and he's trying to recall what he may have said while performing.

* After the events of this episode, you realize why the first episode of the season is titled "Ouroboros", and not just because it's named after Creator/KeHuyQuan's character: Loki pruning himself is just like the snake eating its own tail!

* Why does the TVA bother with all the bureaucracy and nonsense? Why do they care about whether someone's a robot? Why put someone through the pointlessness of grabbing a ticket? Why put them through the farce of a trial when they already know a variant's a variant because of their magic divergence detectors? Because they're looking for the more compliant variants who can make it to the end of the path and become new agents for the TVA. Protest too much at any stage and they'll just zap you to the end of time.

* Victor Timely refusing to partner up with anyone interested in his work seems somewhat dickish, but it's entirely justified given the time period he lives in. After all, the 1800s were not exactly accomodating for African-Americans in US society, and Victor probably knows all too well that a wealthy white man can and ''will'' take advantage of him to line their pockets and steal the credit for his inventions.

* Considering what [[GeneralRipper General Dox]] had her agents and Hunters do to bomb and reset all of the branched timelines against [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Judge Gamble's]] orders, just to try to get to Sylvie, the sheer scale of the instantaneous carnage of so many parallel universes and ''all'' of their inhabitants dwarfs even Thanos' Snap from ''[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]]'', which was only a temporary (although five years long) CessationOfExistence that affected ''half'' of the inhabitants of a ''single'' universe. Even in light of the single timelines seen being pruned in the first season of the show, this might well be the single most destructive act or event witnessed in the ''entire'' MCU so far (or for a while to come).

* Why does O.B remember events that happened hundreds of years ago when the other TVA employees are implied to have been memory-wiped? Because the TVA itself probably forgot he exists. With how vast and busy the organization is all the time, combined with O.B himself being tucked away in the lowest parts of the building, it's possible he just slipped through the cracks when He Who Remains or whoever was in charge was listing all the workers who needed their memories wiped. Adding to this is how Miss Minutes is much easier and more practical to access for technical questions, meaning O.B being overlooked by the organization is entirely plausible, especially with how few visitors he receives.

* The next series to be released after ''Loki'' is ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'', a series of one-shot hypothetical scenarios (including one where Loki used Thor's death at the hands of Hank Pym as an excuse to conquer Earth). Except after the finale of ''Loki'', it is far more likely that they could be the exact immediate ''branches'' on the Sacred Timeline caused by the fallout of the Season 1 finale.

* Does the TVA know about the Zombie universe that we see in WesternAnimation/WhatIf?. If so, have they attempted to prune it, or did they think it would be too risky because if one of the members gets the virus, and knows how to work their tempad, then the virus could spread to other universes? Perhaps they even knew about the universe where Ultron won and if they tried to prune it, and Ultron found out about them...

* Why is the TVA headquarters' technology and culture so rooted in the 1970s, and not some era with faster office equipment, better animation, and so on? Just possibly because, if it were based much later than that, the cultural memes and tropes by which its operatives think might inadvertently wind up contaminated by those of the following decade's ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' movies. And we saw in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' just how hard it was for Tony and Bruce to shake those films' misconceptions (by MCU rules) about changing timelines from the other Avengers' heads.
