The Big Picture The second season of Loki has seen Tom Hiddleston's titular God of Mischief in a literal race against time, as he deals with being literally dragged through the space-time continuum as well as his feelings for his alter ego Sylvie . It also saw a change behind the scenes: series creator Michael Waldron stepped back from showrunning duties while Eric Martin shaped season 2, and the majority of the episodes are now directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead.
While most movies involving time travel tend to have a set of rules that bend or outright break, Synchronic is fairly solid with the way its titular drug lets users travel through time. It affects the pineal gland in your brain; younger users are able to fully travel through time while older users appear as a ghost-like figure. You can also pull objects from the past back to the present with you, and travel to different points in time based on your location.
