Welcome to every movie or show ever.
 
Season 3 is pretty good.

love the nostalgia brought back and how they tied the movies in. You kind of knew that alli was going to be key for Johnny and Daniel to bury the hatchet in some form. And she points out the obvious, that they were more alike than they wanted to admit. In a world where alli didn’t exist, it’s entirely possible him and Johnny would’ve become friends anyway.

and you waited 30 years for the karate scene near the end of episode 10.

what I don’t like is what they did with Robbie’s character, since he was the one I was most interested in the first 2 seasons.

I guess I should add this to my watch list. The original Karate Kid didn't really work as it should for me because of Miss Shue. It was ok, but I could not feel the least bit sorry for him once he ended up with Ali.

I don't remember them if I did. I just just somewhat smitten by her back in 1984 as a 17-18 year old.

I mean by the time that really happens it’s time for the tournament anyway.

Karate Kid from Johnny's perspective is great. There is YouTube Vignette that illustrates that the real bully was Daniel and Johnny rehashes it for Miguel in CK Season 1.

This is great. My daughter loves watching things like this about other movies.

I merely had a memory of the original that was more or less "would I accept getting beaten up if I end up with Elisabeth Shue of 1984? Yes, I would". Small price to pay.

Must have been getting a refill. Be that as it may, I am rewatching the entire series, so I'll get to it again soon.

Fair enough.

I mean if we’re picking 80s chicks I probably go the chick from weird science, but fair enough

She's older. I think it was just me being a HS senior in 1984.

Anyway, I'll try the show!

yeah. I wasn’t born in 1984 so I saw both well after the fact

Yup missed most of it, but I did hear the voice in the background calling Daniel out.

Thank you for the information, but this is the third time you've posted this. Is it so out of the realm of possibility that someone who is already tipsy, trying to "maintain a buzz," with kids making obscene amounts of noise, while also trying to follow the CFP on New Years Day doesn't have perfect recall?

The timing of bringing back Ali and how they reintroduced her character to tie together Seasons 1-3 and set up Season 4 is brilliant. They avoided the easy play of having her antagonize either Danny or Johnny or ruin either one of their relationships. They gave her the let bygones be bygones and remember the good times not the bad to bring together Johnny and Danny.

Season 3 SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

They also did a helluva job with Kreese's background from Vietnam. The POW scenes could easily trigger anyone whose been in those types of situations.

yes. It looked like they were gonna do that (even though it would’ve made no sense with Daniel married).

but they nailed it.

and yes, those kreese scenes were fantastic.
 
I really enjoyed season three. At the end of season two, I felt like the eventual transition of Johnny overseeing Danny's Dojo was obvious (dealership was struggling etc) but it did not materialize yet. They made Japan work and Elizabeth Shue's return was well done.
 
Late to the party, started last night. First 2 episodes were rough, I just can't take any more of the self destructive behavior/addict/digging a deeper and deeper hole plots that Hollywood seems to adore so much. Got thru that and it started getting better, although both Johnny and Daniel aren't particularly sympathetic to me. Got thru 5 episodes in one setting. Will definitely continue.
 
Most of the way thru season 1. Johnny and Daniel are both such...well there's a word I want to use, but I can't, so I'll say jerks. Not sure how much more of those two I can handle. Do they actually grow as human beings and start to act like adults at some point?
