Really thought this was it.
Until they showed him rolled back and instantly knew it was Hannibal.

Finished a couple days go.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this show is FAR better than it has any right to be. It's just so unabashedly fun and entertaining it's ridiculous. Loved the finale, and it could've potentially served as a completely satisfying series finale if not for the final little scene right at the end.

Movie trivia: the song during the beach fight in ep1 is the song Antonio Banderas plays in the opening scene of Desperado.
"Trivia".
Because it's got a ton of heart.jamesf said:
How is this show able to be so ridiculous and yet so awesome at the same time?
Is it over-the-top at times? Yeah. Does it have a lot of cheesy/campy moments? Oh yeah.
But they do such a great job of making the characters redeemable and likeable. And in the end it leaves you feeling good. And it's nice to see a show can be edgy but still have "family" at the center of it.
They've knocked Johnny's character arc out of the park. And I love the way they incorporated Chozen for this past season.
I think because it is super self aware. It knows exactly what it is, and what the audience wants.jamesf said:

Chozen is my favorite character in this show now.
No idea where they take this next season unless the focus is on the international karate tournament they gained entry to. Maybe a new dojo becomes their rival in that tournament. How does Cobra Kai dojo stay relevant next season?

Finally finished season 5, and I gotta say while the first 8 episodes felt like just more of the same but without the humor, episodes 9 and 10 knocked it out of the park: an emotional cheesy rollercoaster with jaw-dropping twists.
While Ralph Macchio and most of the kids still can't act, Johnny, Chozen, Silver, and even Stingray gave solid performances to make it all binge-worthwhile.

Master Kim was always leery of Terry Silver, but she was getting paid. She trusts Kreese more.XXXVII said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Just reading some S6 stuff online it doesn't seem like a S6 is a foregone conclusion.
I mean to other than Kreese escaping , which I guess is kinda big there was a lot of reconciliation and closure to storylines.
On the other hand, I'm guessing CK makes a struggling Netflix a lot of money so they'll figure something out.

Finally got around to finishing this season. Thought the first couple of episodes was just, "Meh," but then it kicked into high gear once they brought in the international tournament thing. I love how everyone acts like "All Valley Champion" is on the same level as "World Champion." I really hope they have another season, and the international tournament is on some remote island, and is like the tournament from "Enter the Dragon."
and it better have international teams led by Jean Claude Van Dammage, Steven Segal and Jaden Smith.

And they have a thing if you remember the sparring scene where she knocked over the pot and Kreese took the blame.
Just bring back Elizabeth Shue. If just for one scene. And season 5 will be awesome.

We finally finished season 5.
LOVED IT.

Is it concerning there's no official Season 6 announcement yet? You'd think it'd be a no-brainer but the next season is usually well into production at this point.
Is it possible it has a significant drop in viewership based on when it was released compared to season 4?
I mean it was #1 for weeks but I suppose that's possible.
I can't imagine them cancelling it. Even if it peaked with season 4, season 5 had like 270 million hours viewed in its first 5 weeks. Considering the seasons only have like a $20-$25 million budget, that's insane return on par with Stranger Things.
Honestly I'm not sure where they'll take the show from here. Each season had a pretty good cliffhanger or open ended storyline. Season 5 kind of wrapped everything up. Silver defeated and everyone except Kenny are friends. I guess Krease is still out there. But other than Hilary Swank they have kind of used up the cameos.
Love the show and hope it continues but there isn't a clear storyline moving forward.

Kreese and the Korean chick run Cobra Kai and try to get revenge on Miyagi Do. If you watch where young Kreese and Silver are sparring in Korea, you'll notice they have a thing. Kreese also has a vendetta. I bet he talks his way into the Sekai Taikai.
ETA would be pretty great to see a Hilary Swank cameo

I was trying to do a little digging and see how the viewership was. All I saw was that it was down from season 4, but that was released on January 1 when people typically have more time to sit at home.
It was down about 10% in the first 5 weeks, but still a wildly popular series. The release timeframe could be a big reason for the disparity. It's easier to get into a series when you have time off to start it
Just finished S5 and loved it.
It's just so incredibly satisfying when these characters get along. Every scene involving Daniel palling around with Johnny and/or Chozen makes me happy. It even works to a lesser extent with the kids. It was nice when Miguel and Robbie became friends. Heck, even though they're two of the worst characters on the show I enjoyed Sam and Tori working things out. Can't believe the actress that plays Sam is 26yo.
Johnny is the show though. I hope Zabka continues to find work when this is over.

He really is. That montage of him as an Uber driver was one of the funniest things I've seen in any show in a long time!SJEAg said:

It is amazing that Zabka is in a hit movie, effectively disappears for over 30 years, then comes back and carries a hit show for five seasons.
He really got screwed. He did such a good job in The Karate Kid, all he could get cast as is as a bully.rynning said:

Just one of the Guys...Bully. He actually turned down Better off Dead for this role. He would've played the captain of the ski team and the dude Beth leaves him for. I'll get back to that.
European Vacation: Not a bully, but an ass.
Back to School: Bully and *******.
Then he really didn't get cast a lot.
A few small roles here and there, really not enough to make a living acting.
He directed the video for Sweep the Leg Johnny.
He also co-wrote a short film that got nominated for an Oscar.
in 2010, he was cast in Hot Tub Time Machine written by Josh Heald. Josh was a huge Karate Kid fan, and wrote that part specifically for Zabka. Zabka took it of course, but one the reasons was he always regretted not taking Better Off Dead and having ski scenes. Just one of the guys was filmed in Arizona during the summer time and it was hot.
Anyhooo...the internet starts talking about how Johnny was the real Karate Kid, and the kick was illegal, etc.
He then gets that part on How I Met Your Mother as himself as the real Karate Kid. Audiences love it.
Josh Heald and his buddies Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Shlossberg are looking for a prioject, and they're all huge Karate Kid fans. Josh reaches out to Zabka and pitches the idea. Zabka convinces Macchio to do it, and the rest is history.
Side fact...the actor that plays Chozan was in Better Off Dead playing the guy who learned to speak English listening to Howard Cosell.
Side fact 2: Ralph Macchio's son is named Daniel.
Eh they have an adult version of the teenage mutant ninja turtles now. They even had a katana, nun chucks, and sai show up this season. Next season will be the 4 becoming bungling adult vigilantes against Krease and his thugs.BoydCrowder13 said:

Also probably bring that girl back to be Chosens GF, and Johnny will attempt being a dad.
The kids will help out here and there, along with prepping for the world tournament.

Nooooooooooo!

Glad for one more and it's probably time.
WTF man. Don't scare me like that!ABATTBQ11 said:

This is great news, btw. Not only that the next season is confirmed, but that they got the ending they wanted. It's what every showrunner can only hope for.
Are they going to try to work Hillary Swank in somehow? Who else haven't they brought back yet? Will Smith's kid doesn't count.
They better bring in Julie somehow. She needs to be a part of this too.
