[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9188929, member: 22779"] Sure, Loki might be stuck sitting on that throne forever. He might not. We don't actually know. He is holding and observing all the timelines filtering through his hands, so, it's not like he's got nothing to do. One of the constant refrains in S2 is "what is the point of free will if everyone dies?" I cannot imagine that Loki would be simply content to do nothing forever. Heck, as the "Time God" couldn't he just spawn a version of himself at some point in time, meddle with things Timelord style, and then yoink himself back? We know he can affect these timelines - he did somehow power them to create the system after all. It's left rather up in the air. Is this a "Tony Stark has a Heart" moment? No. It's not at all. Bittersweet is exactly the right word. Loki has to make the impossible choice and then finds the third option where everyone lives. I dunno. It really worked for me. Now, the "he should be insane" argument? I can buy that. The endless iterations should have had some impact. Fair enough. That's something that's explored in loads of time travel stories. OTOH, sometimes it's not. Meh. Having Loki go insane for a couple of episodes would have been great fun, but, it runs into the constraints of the medium. The truth is, we're given very little time with "iterated" Loki. We have no idea how sane he actually is. Which leaves lots of room for future stories. [/QUOTE]
