This episode is the highest rated on Imdb for the series. I was too tired and the technobabble too convoluted, so I have to rewatch the season later.

Episodes 4 and 5 were better. The finale seemed like the writers just kind of gave up.
shareit feels like they had no explanation or did i miss it. how and why could Loki time slip? how and why were the time lines dying? so if the container expanded they died. if the container was destroyed they died. so what did time do before Kang came in and harnessed the time lines and pruned the branches?
How and why could Loki keep entire timelines and branches alive? i mean a season before in the TVA infinity stones were shown as nothing and even a god like Lokis power could easily be supress TVA dampening machine. making him seem weak and powerless. yet has the power to keep the entire multiverse and all timelines? it seems odd someone from a single timelines and "lesser than", could have the power to do that to something far greater than himself, which wuld be power the multiverse.
was Kang and the TVA just not that powerful? they had some cool tech (like dampening powers within the tva) but ultiamtely werent that strong?
EDIT: reddit seems to have some decent explanations

Thanks for the link. Interesting discussion. But even with some possible explanations, it still seems convoluted and the way it left Loki was unsatisfying.
sharei kind of feel the same. But i am pretty satisfied with their explanations it seems coherent even though its silly we had to search it out. but i just wish they showed/explained this in the show instead of making others do it.
BUT basically loki is powering it and ascending to new god level. and the TVA's role now is to track down Kangs and stop dangeorus Kangs and prevent a multiuniversal war.
I might watch the finale again to see how it all works within the script.
shareI was sometimes a little bit confused in the start/middle of the season,
and i found the last episode to be very emotionally satisfying and i slowly felt that i finally kinda get the story)
