Movie trivia: the song during the beach fight in ep1 is the song Antonio Banderas plays in the opening scene of Desperado.
Honestly, I had no expectations but enjoyed the new season a lot. A lot of laughs, the show doesn't take itself too seriously, most of the kids are surprisingly mature, adults are pretty comedic.
They made a couple of the relatively newer kids way too irritating and dumb, same with the new bad guy sensei's, but you can skip over those parts and miss literally nothing.
The way they kicked off the inevitable final battle royale was absolutely hilarious. Hard to believe, but another really solid season. Can't wait for the next one.

Dang! Didn't realize a new season was out! I delayed watching season 4 until recently so this is a nice surprise.
WOW, I was like "why is the Cobra Kai thread getting bumped?" I had no clue the new season was out. Figured it would be end of the year. Nice!

Minimized all the High School drama in the first two episodes. Ergo, very fun.
Ep 3 is Miguel and Sam crying. Miguel emotes like he's never had an acting class before.
Only 3 episodes in, but I'm really coming around to that theory from the first Karate Kid...LaRusso is the bad guy.
Dude can never leave well enough alone. So he constantly goes around stirring up **** and antagonizing other people into fights and to top it off he then drags other people into his **** when they were just trying to mind their own business!

I'm on episode 6 of the new season. Some really good stuff but a lot of REALLY bad stuff. They really contrived some utterly ridiculous scenarios this season.
I am enjoying the cameos from the Karate Kid universe of the past. Not many people left to sneak in now except for Hilary Swank.

Three words. "Dungeons and dojos"
My sides!

Worst character of the season I think is actually Sam. She is a self centered ***** to Miguel and then gets made when he is kissing someone else? Wtf.
Also Larussos in general are horrible at forgiveness and letting things go.
The Johnny baby training montage was hilarious

That's been pretty much every season.
Season 5 so far has a 100% Rotten Tomato score by 28 critics. Wasn't expecting it to be that high, but not too surprised either.
Larusso has a crew now! Well, more like a bungling group of comedic senseis. No doubt they doing vigilante work next season.

I was surprised by that. This was easily the worst season. One bright spot: Johnny was hilarious as always.CondensedFoggyAggie said:

I don't know why Chozen didn't fight Silver when he took down his senseis.
BTW, Chozen hitting the senseis on the ground was great. He signaled he has no mercy.

I don't know how you could differentiate the bad things from this season from any other season. They all have at times different kids that are the absolute worst and bond like villain moments and adults that just do idiotic things.
That said this is easily my most bingable show I watch.
So watching the opening to episode 5 and Amanda is playing cribbage with her mom and her mom has 3 cards in her hand and Amanda has 2. Good Lord you idiots cribbage is played with FOUR cards in your hand. Where is the cribbage consultant? This is ridiculous!!! Don't desecrate the time honored sport of cribbage you fascists!!
Ok I might just be taking the Aggie loss a bit harder than I expected. But seriously, I've played cribbage since I was 5 years old so it's like they were spitting in my face.

Finished the season last night. The show definitely does NOT take itself too seriously, but there were so many episodes and scenes where I felt like I was Joe Biden - "Oh, c'mon!' It was way over the top ridiculous, but definitely entertaining.
How is this show able to be so ridiculous and yet so awesome at the same time?

Didn't pay attention but maybe they already played some cards?
The change speech from Rocky…hahaha.

Binged the 10 episodes over the course of the past two days. After the first couple of episodes I thought to myself "Man, they really upped the cheese factor even more than previous seasons as if that was even possible".johnnyblaze36 said:
Man they've really milked this show for all it is worth. That said, I'm still IN.
By the end of it I left thinking it was my favorite season since the 1st one or a close second to season 2. Tough to tell if there will be another one. Seemed like they wrapped everything up until the very last second.
Sidenote: I started a thread awhile back on the show "Kingdom" but if you have never watched it seek it out. The actor that plays Stingray is fantastic in it and the show is one of the most underrated ever imo.

100% there will be another season. And we already know which direction they're going to go.
Larusso, Lawrence, Chosen and Barnes are going to be the bungling adult version of teenage mutant ninja turtles. Chosen already has a sai, we saw nunchucks and a japanese sword. The writers are basically shouting to the whole world their intentions of the 4 becoming a crew.
Besides we know one of the bad guys is going to become some criminal ganglord. So Lawrence and crew are going to go vigilante.
Probably should be a lot of fun.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I just laughed out loud at "karate adjacent".

And Hilary Swank will be their April.

Binged it a couple nights this week. Was on a flight back home last Friday and the folks next to me were telling me it was back on. Didn't expect it so soon.
I've pretty much lost all interest in this story and just have it on as I work to get through it. I hope there isn't another season after this.

Agreed. They've taken the kids storylines beyond what they should have - their plots are just plain stupid and redundant at this point. The only somewhat interesting plotline is the adult Miyagi-do vs Cobra Kai.
This season should be the last if the writers are being honest with themselves. Daniel's actions and failings are getting redundant, and my son and I both agree the real villian is Daniel. We're actually kinda rooting for Silver now.

Can't decide who's a worse actor: Daniel or his wife??
This is just one of the reasons I love this show…

He's pretty terrible. But I don't watch this show for the performances 
Am I wrong or did Barnes not really do much fighting/stunts?
It was obvious that young Kreese was used to deliver a fight that the actor couldn't physically do. Do yall think Barnes is still capable of stage fighting?

Mike Barnes apparently was dealing with a rotator cuff injury before filming:
"I was dealing with a pretty significant shoulder injury, which did make things a little more difficult. But we worked on the choreography. They saw what I could and couldn't do and they came up with the best solution. I got the chance to mix it up a couple of times. So it was a lot of fun."
