I really like the direction of Robby being more adult and even keeled over the last few seasons. I actually would say Tory has been more adult as well. You've got to be kidding me with Cobra Kai backing into the semifinals. This show. Come on. They just weren't that good mano a mano. I'm glad Chozen realized the kids needed some actual strategy and coaching for a change. Even though it took Miguel to knock sense into them. I'm glad the tournament is on tv, but I guess it only airs in the Valley. I actually was hoping Zara would lose off the bat. I just don't like the character though. It looked to me like Miyagi had the better of the rumble because of the defense first m/o. Others here made similar comments about their teamwork, and I also agree. Miyagi just being better at holding their own is completely in character. Are we supposed to be feeling bad? A not that great fighter picked up a knife because he wasn't that great of a fighter and couldn't handle it right so he got got himself? So what? Also getting the drop on Robby on a cheap shot because he can't beat him face to face. I think it's hilarious if TPTB think this is some huge cliffhanger. He was a bad fighter; he was badly trained. Bye. I'd like to see if the show had guts, to really use this to dig into Kreese's massive trauma. But I know what I'm watching. This is ridiculous now. Realistically, there's going to be police at the tournament in general. Policeman fires a gun into the air immediately and all this stops. I would like to see the kids actually just call off the tournament. Tory, also acting more like an adult than the adults in charge of her asking if it's all worth it, and Sam just refusing to fight and walking away. I mean, I'm not saying I'm not enjoying the show. I do hope when it finally ends Amanda gets the last line - 'No more fucking karate'.

That's entirely fair, but I don't think the show is really leaning into that as much as it could if at all. They handwaved Silver in the 80s as just doing a lot of coke.

There's other milk products you can consume though. Given the environmental concerns and conditions for mass milk production, seeking or exploring alternatives is fair. Regardless, people get sick from raw milk. That's what used to happen before pasturizing.

I'm really surprised. Zara was the one who looks like she's overdoing it. Maybe that's the point of the character.

I've been at professional meetings where we have breakfast at a regular restaurant, not catered, and grown men ordering milk.

The tag team didn't have the extra player, no? Miguel hadn't returned and Kenny was the replacement. Though he would have been fresher. Were they both in the raised platform match? Cobra Kai just wasn't good in the tournament format.

I wanted the free ride though.

I thought there were player limits to each dojo. Wasn't that the whole plot of the first part of this season? But both Kenny and Miguel competed. Maybe you can just designate an "active roster" for each event? I know I shouldn't think too hard on this.

I thought the regular actors at least are doing the fighting.

Ah. Go watch OT. The doctor's brother is tight with RFK. What I wouldn't give for anyone to just act on in good faith. They should be 5150-ed upon exiting the studio immediately if they think Trump is going to be a 'disruptor' and fix health. Isgur said last week and has been saying, it's not a mandate and there's going to be overreach on the election. Raw milk is not good for you. Also, stop drinking milk.

We're certainly not a healthy society in general, and it's not nearly the policy importance it should be. Neither is the environment. But, it's a lot complex than that woman was making it out to be for sure. Additionally, she's flat out delusional if she thinks personal health was even remotely on anyone's mind who voted for Trump. Or anyone. I wish we could have a serious conversation about health. I don't think that's RFK. MK is right though. You can't go to 11 on everything Trump does. Are these people in the cabinet qualified? Mostly no. I don't think they'll get much of anything done simply due to ineptitude. Frustrating, certainly. Don't stay home and not vote.

I'm going on a plane in about a half hour and I want to know if I can do karate. Really though, the guy in the towel could have been her cousin.

Stingray is the worst witness of all time. I do like the senseis, but they're absolutely terrible coaches. There's been zero strategy for any of the challenges. I do have to agree about keeping it on the mat. I like that she was the villain, but now she's completely put upon because literally no one is focusing on actual fighting. And good teamwork, with zero coaching, to keep tagging in and out. That was critical to the win. They also came up with the defense of preventing the other team from tagging in. That would have been my first strategy. I like the show, but in this tournament, the students shouldn't have been thinking that out on the fly. Kreese can brandish his knife all he wants, but they lost. Robby had the better of their champion both times, so how good were they really?

No way. The flight attendant would have just given Johnny the drink unless she was going to have it herself. That's rough for Anthony. It's kind of his fault, but he actually didn't do what he was accused of. This seemed kind of filler. I was hoping for more fighting. I did like Chozen teaming up to track down the kids though. And that was coming a mile away. The sight gag of the sand out the sleeve was brilliant. "Fucking karate". Amanda sums up the entire series. I like how all these top karate kids can't actually run anywhere. It's not that hard to run from the cops to the beach. Shut up. Silver. That was ridiculous.

I think all the losses here were a bit much. Miyagi Do did fight fairly well in the protect the captain round. The Iron Dragon caption looks like you'd call him Jenkins at work who is nice enough to make coffee before the meeting. Terrible choice to only have Amanda occasionally on the phone and not there to even it all out. I don't like that they're making out Johnny to be *totally* wrong. Yes, they needed points, so you do need to strategize. Also, you're on raised platforms. You do need balance. I'm not someone who performs better getting yelled at though either. Harder than you think. I just think there could have a little more nuance. I'm not buying the actor playing Zara. She's over doing it. I don't think I would have led with both the captains on the platform to start. to be fair, Dmitri fought well and just screwed up knocking Hawk off too. I wanted Robby to hand off to Miguel. I'm coming back in to call bs on Dmitri with MIT. Yes, he's going to put 'everything behind him'. More motivation for him to go out with a huge bang. He's going to MIT; he's never going to be doing karate tournaments again. Go big. You'll have tons of stories to tell them all at MIT.
