Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Time Bandits'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kevin's (Kal-El Tuck) daring escapades across time with a motley group of outlaws took another wild turn in the recent episodes of Apple TV+'s 'Time Bandits.'
The show, a reimagining of the 1981 film of the same name, follows Kevin, a young history enthusiast who accidentally becomes part of a gang of nefarious time-traveling bandits.
The recent episode of the show delved deeper into Kevin's adventures, while his sister Saffron (Kiera Thompson) continues to journey through time portals in the hopes of reuniting with her family.
What happened in 'Time Bandits' Episodes 5 & 6?
In the opening moments of Episode 5, Jasper (Roy Iro) warns the robbers about the intentions of the Supreme Being (Taika Waititi).
Aiming to reach the year 2024, they accidentally land in Georgian England, right at the Earl of Sandwich's gathering, where they end up consuming his famously scarce sandwiches.
As a result, Penelope (Lisa Kudrow) engages in a battle with the Earl, while Alto (Tadh Murphy) participates in a theatrical performance. Meanwhile, Saffron relentlessly searches for Kevin across various time portals.
Casanova (Alex Gibson-Giorgio) and Bittelig (Rune Temte) are enamored with Judy (Charlyne Yi), while Detective Katherine (Francesca Mills) and Sergeant Lewis (Imaan Hadchiti) consider rebelling against the Supreme Being.
Meanwhile, Alto and Fianna (Rachel House) humorously interrupt the duel, injuring the Earl and forcing the thieves to escape through a portal. Unfortunately, Saffron is stuck in the Ice Age, presumably to be rescued by Neanderthals.
In Episode 6, the crew travels through a time portal and arrives in Northern Africa in 1324 CE, only to find that Judy has vanished. Kevin marks the ground to guide them back in case Judy returns.
The robbers attempt to steal from Mansa Musa, but their heist fails spectacularly. Despite their failure, Musa graciously offers Penelope and Alto gold bars.
Kevin stays with Musa due to his historical significance and expertise but arranges a theft opportunity for Penelope to lift her spirits.
Later, Kevin misses the time portal and risks ending up in an unknown location. Meanwhile, it's revealed that the Supreme Being has kidnapped Judy to find the map, potentially threatening humanity's future.
