Ke Huy Quan’s O.B. is one of the best parts of Loki Season 2, but is the character headed for a villainous turn?
The Big Picture This week's episode of Loki, "1893" takes place mostly in Chicago at the end of the 19th century and finally introduces us to Victor Timely , a variant of Kang, the Conqueror whom we had previously seen in the Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania post-credits scene, but while all eyes may have been on him, the series might be setting up someone who barely appears in this episode as a future obstacle for the remainder of the season — the quirkiest technician in the Time...
Who Is O.B. at the TVA? It hasn't been all that long since we first met Ouroboros, but he has already won our hearts. He's the spirited and quirky technician who works at the Repairs and Advancements department, the person whom Mobius asks for help to stop Loki's time-slipping in Episode 1, "Ouroboros". It's immediately established that he's a character with an arc spread through past, present, and future, as we see Mobius calling him "O.B.
The most important thing O.B. has ever done at the TVA, though, is writing the TVA Handbook. That's the orange notebook that every TVA employee has to read as part of their training. It contains "a detailed index of every mechanical classification and maintenance routine, in each sector, on every device, and inside every computer program at the TVA"; pretty much the blueprint for every machine and device someone may ever handle working there.
Victor Timely had 25 years between 1868 and 1893 to learn what the TVA Handbook had to offer and reproduce many of its designs, including a prototype of the Temporal Loom. Meanwhile, the Loom at the TVA is currently in danger of collapsing, not being able to support all the branching timelines created by the killing of He Who Remains by Sylvie back in the Season 1 finale.
