Shit is about to go all Count Dante up in hurr

The beginning of episode 3 with Johnny discovering the internet is absolutely hilarious.

It's great because Johnny is actually the 80s but in human form.

Other shows are going to steal that riff and ruin it but right now it's beautiful man.

You were absolutely right about the acting standard in this by the way Dale. Hawk and Dmitry are fucking great right now. Dmitry was so annoying but I get it now, I was blown away by the way his story got rolling.
Hawk's back story is well played too, the smiling parent who doesn't have a clue...

I love this. I really can't say it well enough.

i saw a podcast where a guy complained about Hawk being one of the worst characters of season 2. I think he was just a mark that got worked by a good heel. Hawk was kind of an underdog antihero who discovered himself in season 1. Whereas, in season 2 while he's not without a couple of redeeming qualities, he's moreorless a prick. But he's good in the role and it makes perfect sense within his arc.

Hawk's one of the most realistic characters in the show, his story is common, not over done by any standard and played totally straight. The actor has chops man. He really has a great future ahead of him.

Dmitry is like every good friend I had at High School. We were all nerds.

Christ I even love Sam a bit despite her naivety having worse results than a person that actually tries to cause trouble. Still, totally accurate as far as the people I grew up with were.

Robbie looks like he could be yet another Franco brother. This kid is going to get some unbelievable poon in his lifetime.

Probably is right now.

Sam is v cute. And I like Robbie as well... I feel really bad for him. But their acting chops are far inferior to the rest of the teens on the show.

Peyton List is poor too. Miguel has been written into a tiny spot in this season. I'd love to see how his screen time compares between the two seasons.

Paul Hauser was a great addition to the show. Fucker is a month younger than me but looks awful. Funny though!

Hausser is a great addition. Very much indicative of the creators' style.

Why can't everything be this simple?

Kreese is still a real Jerk!

There is a certain kind of wonderment I feel watching Cobra Kai. The scenery is beautiful, the characters are lovable/engaging, and the storylines feel logical.

I should have joined when I had the chance

Peyton List totally screws the pooch on that "hard knock life" type speech.

That was doggerel and dreadful exposition already but damn, she sucked all the life right out of it.

Yeah. She definitely has her struggles. She serves her purpose as Miguel's boner-fodder though.

Wish I could see a computer generated image of my average facial expression while watching this.

I bet it's the dumbest smile in the world.

lol that was literally me yesterday.

Every five minutes I'm watching and I think "Nope, now I hate this person forever." Then another five minutes go by and I think "Ah thank God they did that, what a great thing to do."

It happens like clockwork and it's always with enough different people to keep it fresh.

Music has been tits this season.

Two huge songs stand out as (surely) hugely expensive to license for a show this small.

Johnny Lawrence is asking questions about modern life that I myself needed answers to.
It's a public service.

Honestly, I think Ralph Macchio is great in the series and he is undeniably loveable. BUT William Zabka blows me away. I didn't think I could root for a character so much. It's kind of like if Bronn was the main character of Game of Thrones.

Google Robson and Jerome - "Saturday Night At The Movies".

Zabka and Macchio are dynamite together on screen. Episode 9 is the tits.

Sam kinda looks like Emilia Clarke

Wow...

Emotional freakin roller-coaster right there.
Lightning in a bottle.

did u watch the last ep?

Yeah

hectic as fuck, right?

The second last episode was the business but the last one was a fight choreographer's wet dream. Kicked off exactly like Begbie in Trainspotting. Ah but the bad thing... The bad thing was fucking crazy.
Saw it coming but vice versa so was caught wildly off guard when it went that way.

Have a theory or two about season 3. I will lose my God Damn mind if Terry Silver shows up.

Read your rep.

I think that is a valid and potentially popular opinion. I certainly know what you mean, the build towards it was so brilliant and keeps us all guessing.
The look of shock, shame and guilt on his face was everything that that other franchise got so badly wrong. Unsurprising to think that one of the ingredients in a perfect show really is love.

It's weird how people won't watch the show when I tell them about it. I guess people just need to discover shit on their own.

If you hadn't seen it, it would be very easy to disregard as yet another pointless reboot. People aren't prepared for it man.

I genuinely didn't even remember how much I loved The Karate Kid until I got bored enough to watch it so I do get why people might find it hard to get up for.

I mean all they need is one little taste and it all comes flooding back.

I enjoyed the first episode, but I could also see how people wouldn't be hooked by it as well. I mean, you're establishing a whole new premise so it's difficult to show what you're going to do in that one ep.

I advise you to give "Weird City" a shot.

Of COURSE he goes for porn first... but figures out how to stream Iron Eagle second. Priorities.

Except Samantha. See my earlier comment. She's been a bullshit catalyst since the car accident. She's like Winnie Cooper, but Winnie had the decency to only fuck over one boy's life, not the lives of half her school and two grown men, one of which is her dad.

You're putting too much on Sam. Robbie caused just as many problems for Daniel and Johnny.
