"Both Loki (https://www.primetimer.com/shows/loki) and Lost are trying to grapple with themes of fate, free will, elemental evil, redemption, reality-altering love stories, and the question of whether someone can ever truly change their fundamental nature," says Joanna Robinson. "Both shows also happen to involve time travel and a character who, thanks to a document (transcript or journal), knows everything that’s going to happen…right up until they don’t. I could keep you here all day making Lost allusions, but that’s not the only famous time travel text that seemed to influence the Loki finale. An iconic episode of Doctor Who, 'Blink' also features a transcript from the future (or is it the past?)—and while you may not have watched that episode, you may have heard a nerd or two quote its most iconic line: And even those who are not nerds enough to have watched Doctor Who or even Lost will probably have dabbled in the most audience-friendly on-screen time travel story: Back to the Future. (Head writer Michael Waldron also cited Back to the Future as an influence on Loki. Steal from the best!)"
