Bad Eggs

Great episode, but i find it hard to believe that in 1980 Kreese looked young, then 4 years later he is the rough man we see in karate kid 1. The timeline just doesn't add up. He doesn't get the dojo until 4 years before the fight? I thought Johnny trained for years and years there. It would make more sense to have them buy the dojo in the 70s, grow the name and popularity for a few years, then have Johnny start training in '74 or '75. A good eight or nine years more than Daniel has of training. But other than that, i enjoyed the background of the characters being built out more. Wish there werent a continuity error.

I love the early seasons, but they've trapped Johnny in a permanent shtick where he knows nothing about anything that happened since the 1980s, which is a pity, because William Zabka has done such a great job hitting all the emotional points in growing out of his past.

The writers needed to get someone for Terry Silver to talk to, so they import the superfemale badder-than-bad, who chews the carpet & is such a parody of a Japanese dragon lady that I'm amazed no Asian group has called Netflix to complain of their use of a degrading stereotype.

Fortunately, Yuji Okumoto has a sure sense of comedic timing to balance out some of the problems with the writing & acting.

Things are heating up now... Even Daniel is taking low blows now, never thought I'd see the day. Did not think this show still had the ability to surprise me after 5 seasons but I was wrong. The difference between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do is becoming more apparent with each passing episode. Chozen is a perfect addition and he's steadily growing on me.

Watching him teaching the kids in his own unique way was awesome! Personally I think this is the best episode of the season so far. Made me curious as to what's gonna happen next. Not gonna spoil anything but the last 30 seconds of this episode was absolutely brilliant.. You had it coming John, you had it coming!
