10 biggest questions for Tales from the Loop Season 2
8. What happened to the robot on the island?
In George’s story, we left him on the island facing the robot. He was sorry for attacking the robot out of fear and gave the robot his arm.
Okay, this was fine, but then we just seemed to ignore the fact that this happened. In Episode 8, it looked like George had his arm back. Now, they could have been the upgrade that had been offered during Episode 7, but there wasn’t really an explanation.
We met “The Second,” but there was nothing mentioned about “The First.” Did George tell Loretta the truth? Did Loretta read Russ’s work and find out about it? Will Cole visit “The First” and check up on him?
7. Where did Young Loretta end up going?
The show opened with a time loop. Young Loretta’s mom, Alma, went missing and that led to the older version of her finding out that Alma really had just gone missing. Young Loretta and Adult Loretta were able to have a conversation, with Young Loretta putting the piece of the Eclipse back.
Adult Loretta shared a little of her story. What we didn’t get to find out about was what happened to Young Loretta. Did she leave the town and go to live with other family? What about social services? Did Russ arrange for something after finding out the truth—did he even know the truth?
Let’s be honest; there are a lot of questions about this. Cole mentions Young Loretta once in an episode but that’s it.
