Watch Better, Write Better
Characters and whiteboards: When we map out a season, structuring episodes to make the most of our characters is central to the success of the narrative. And right now, Loki is losing its way. Let's look at how.
B13: Watch Better, Write Better
Loki: "Breaking Brad" was... rough. Yet I loved some of the thematic exploration. Topics covered in this episode:
• Pace Problems
• Massive Narrative Gaps
• The Absence of Antagonists
and
• Awesome Thematic Content (Identity; The Nature of Existence; Fate vs. Free Will)
Topics this week include...
• Possible meaning of the title (is OB who he says he is?)
• A lot of thoughts about the Time Loom
• If Loki is the God of Mischief, why doesn't he smile more?
• Who wants to see a Loki/Mobius buddy comedy? ME, THAT'S WHO.
• Don't trust Judge Gamble.
And a lot more...
Enjoy!

An overstuffed, yet short, episode... couldn't limit myself to 13 talking points (I ended up with 20)... there were a lot of odd choices this week.
Time for some development notes on the third episode of The Book of Boba Fett, "The Streets of Mos Espa." A twist for you: For most of the podcast, I'm being positive, offering praise for the choices the production team is making. Shocking, I know.
