Kenny is an absolute reflection of Cobra Kai.

For sure Mike Barnes is coming back, They need to bring back Snake and Dennis and Michael Ironside from another Karate kid (I kid I kid)

Silver stating that Kreese is his weakness as the cops were showing up was awesome. And yeah, you could see his fall happening, and how at first he wanted to pay back Kreese but in the end destroy him, Kreese showing compassion doomed him.

They really rounded out Torri nicely,she's a really sympathetic character, she answers the question of what happens when a fundamentally good person gets driven into the ground continually. On the other hand, I don't know if its the acting or writing, but Sam is really unlikeable most of the time. Nice nod back to the original KK except Miquel doesn't come out, and even Johnny knew he crossed a serious trust line with him.

Nice to see Eli get his moment, I did enjoy the two championship fights, I really liked that they resisted the good guys win ending.

Yeah Tori is great, been one of the better characters the whole time. I was happy to see her win.

Surprised Hawk won, that's two big losses for Robbie, who is very obviously the best of all of them. I wonder where he goes from here. Was half expecting Miguel to see him and Johnny hugging at the end. Pretty heartbreaking when Johnny responds to Miguel with "I love you too, Robbie."

Yeah not a huge fan of Sam either, but I like that her "not getting her way" is becoming a thing and is pushing some decent growth for her. I was expecting her to high-road Tori after her chat with the old friend and thought we'd see Tori leaning towards Miyagi after seeking help from the Larussos.

Found myself laughing a lot in this one. Johnny's whole persona is just pure hilarity. Heart of gold, but man he says some stupid stuff.

Was really hoping for a throw-down at the theatre. My favorite part about the show is as soon as the teen drama gets a bit much, they start kicking the s*** out of each other. Not as much of that in this season. But the final fights were great. The top few (Miguel, Robbie, Hawk, Tori, Sam) obviously have some pretty high level training. There are doubles in the wide shots sometimes, but they are definitely doing a lot of it themselves and I think that's cool.

Machio has also improved dramatically. The fight between him and Johnny actually looked pretty decent.

I could probably go on for a while. My dad came in an watched a few minutes of the 2nd last episode. Showed me you really have to get into this from the beginning or it all probably feels pretty lame and cheesy in short slices. But damn, they lean into it in such a perfect way.

Except the Underwood part. So bad. As soon as she showed up my head was just going "please dont sing please dont sing. Okay maybe just the anthem? Oh...oh no....ffwd."
