It seemed like something weird was going on between her and the show, but I’m glad she came back at least for an episode. Maybe she’ll be in it moving forward, but I doubt we’ll ever know what went on.

BiggerBoat posted:I'm still confused. I’m sure you could find info but from what I recall it amounted to a single social media post where she indicated they weren’t having her back for season 3 and that sucked because she needed money for her car. I don’t think there was anything more definitive released, but now that she made an appearance in s4 maybe she will come back with a bigger role again next season.

Happy to see others loving the Saved By The Bell reboot; its doing a similar sort of riff and clearly takes inspiration from Cobra Kai. The biggest difference is that Karate Kid is still an absolute banger of a movie and SBTB has always been terrible.

I like the idea of the cast rotating in and out. We really don't need a giant dramatic arc for Season 2's attempted-wacky in-practice-creepy comic relief manchild, and getting away from the Valley is clearly the best thing that could've happened to Aisha. Their roles in this season were perfect in my books.

The Netflix’s aftershow out but weirdly it’s a summary of season three, not season four.

I liked the actress but that scene was acted terribly and it read like a first take, like she swung by the set for ten minutes and they just had to roll with it.

Really enjoyed this new season. At the end, did anybody else assume at first that Silver had poisoned the Champagne? They toast, Kreese drinks, but Silver doesn't.

I felt like it was a double twist, since they signaled the champagne being poisoned in every genre-way possible. Kinda like a "would we really go there" affair.

Sockser posted:S4 felt like it was just treading water, and none of the S5 hooks really landed for me. I was honestly okay with this. Previous seasons ended up with such thundering cliffhangers (Daniel opens a dojo! Miguel is hospitalized and Robby is on the run! Johnny and Daniel combine forces!) that downshifting a bit isn't necessarily bad.

I just started watching this by chance while clearing up after my NYE party and I love it. The goofy soap-opera/sunday morning cartoon styling despite the presitge tv format means that it has an earnestness to it that's appealing.

Party princesses are big in LA, although they typically go to events people host and aren’t in a central location. But I haven’t been to a lot of children’s birthday parties in the last five years.

I fell for the stripper fake out too and just assumed Tory was 18 or close enough for a skeevy strip club owner at least. I couldn't imagine anything else she'd be doing in that make up room and was happy it was a Chuck E Cheese thing. Another example of the show defying my predictions. I thought of another one since I was sure that Demitri's girlfriend was running a con on him somehow and made up the trip to wherever she went and would double cross or cheat on him with Hawk but nope. She honestly digs him. Demitri is hungAlchenar posted:I just started watching this by chance while clearing up after my NYE party and I love it. The goofy soap-opera/sunday morning cartoon styling despite the presitge tv format means that it has an earnestness to it that's appealing. Have you seen any of the movies? Show is very addictive and the 1/2 hour format combined with the cliff hangers really adds to it. I bet you're back in the thread giving our review for the whole series by the time I finish this post. It's loving crazy how well it all works because on paper it's a disaster. I know the writers (deservedly) get a ton of credit for pulling this show off but I think a lot of heavy lifting is done by the actors too. I have a hang up about lovely acting and never really run across it here - at least any examples that just totally take me out of the show - and I've said it before but Zabka is a real standout and needs to get some more high profile movie roles. I could see Tarantino, the Coens of someone like Paul Thomas Anderson putting him to good use. I'd like to see what he could do in something like True Detective, Deadwood, The Wire or Six Feet Under where he can break out of his typecast and the show the range I suspect he might have. I mean, even though he's playing the same Johhny Lawrence character from the movies, the performances in those films compared to this show are totally different but still tonally consistent. What I'm saying is I'm gay for William Zabka and want to party with him at a Twisted Sister concert. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Jan 4, 2022 |

I don't know if he ever talked about it but I am curious what happened to him as the 80's ended. He did Karate Kid and Back to School, which were his two most well known movie roles. He had a reoccurring character on The Equalizer and then just a pile of poo poo movies and guest bits on TV shows. I was just as surprised as everyone when I found out that he can act. He has a good sense of timing. He can do some of the dramatic bits Cobra Kai needs. Wondering if he can leverage this into some higher profile roles once this show is finished.

I also find any show incredibly endearing which clearly has a budget per episode of $10 and just makes it work by looking real rather than cheap.

One thing people don't think about nearly as much as they should is this whole machine we live in runs on plausible deniability. Most people just don't want to be held responsible for a thing, so if they covered their rear end, that's all that matters, and a dancer presenting you with real-enough fake poo poo that you can say you made a good faith effort to obey the law is pretty much enough for most to be going on with. It wouldn't at all be a stretch for a character in a show that takes place in this bizarre universe to fake some documents.

Stingray sucks. He adds nothing to the plot or story. They could have had Terry get rid of Kreese some other way. My guess is Kreese will have a Darth Vader style heel turn and Silver will go to jail for the assault at the end.

Robobot posted:Stingray sucks. He adds nothing to the plot or story. They could have had Terry get rid of Kreese some other way. Stinkray does suck, but that's always been the point of the character. He adds to the meta narrative about nostalgia. Every adult in the show is dealing with a history of trauma, and they're trying to guide the children around them away from the same traumatic life, but in doing so they're inflicting new trauma on the kids around them... and then here's an adult audience insert who thinks the trauma is cool as gently caress. I love the character of Kreese, because his motivation is noble (to guide kids away from being used and hurt the way he was), he just can't heal himself. I think Terry is right that Kreese's weakness is Johnny, not because he has simple paternal feeling towards him, but because Kreese knows he used and hurt Johnny the same way he was used and hurt. Also Terry's to rich and powerful to go to jail, he's going to get roundhouse kicked off a cliff.
