I'm on episode 9 now.  Quite a few twists and turns.. good stuff!

I have seen the six and seven, going to finish 8-10 tonight!

Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, sitting next to each other, were in attendance at the Paul VS Tyson fight tonight at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.

There were some great moments in episodes 6-9, but then in episode 10 it fell apart for me.  It got over the top ridiculous and it feels like the show might be hanging on too long.  Five more episodes are going to be released, rumored in February but this has not been confirmed yet, and then the series will be over.  S6 E10 was not a bad episode, but just too much.  I hope the show ends strong because, it would be a shame for the show to be great for so long then have a lousy ending.

With the way episode 10 ended, I anticipate that concluding the series in just five more episodes is going to feel rushed.

It took a whole season for things to get back to normal after Miguel broke his back.  But a death occurs in a tournament on the Cobra Kai team, and we're gonna wrap up the whole series in just five more episodes?  No, just no.

Yeah, the events in episode 10 were way over the top, and now I'm trying to figure out how they address the fallout after the last few minutes of episode 10.  It wasn't one of the core characters, but it definitely will have serious repercussions to all of the storylines.

Tons of fun! Can someone get Tori out of Robbie's line of sight?! Always here for the Daniel/Johnny team-ups. Daniel's tunnel vision on Miyagi's past was a little frustrating. And how long were they going to let the kids fight it out at the end? 

[sensei8]

I agree with Patrick...Tons of fun!

Never thought I'd ever say that about the Cobra Kai Series, however, Season 6, Part 2, changed my mind about its entertainment factor. It did help me a tiny bit that there are some valid MAist's in Part 2.

Had not what happened to Kwon, that brawl would still be going on.

KorroddyDude alluded to the fact that there WILL be a Part 3 (TBD) with 5 more episodes. I didn't catch that until I looked at Cobra Kai on Wikipedia tonight. where, indeed, Part 3 with its 5 episodes return to Nextflix on February 13, 2025.

Sounds like things get crazy!  I'll have to tune back in.

Spoiler alert

 

It was disappointing to me that Robbie won the fight and eliminated Cobra Kai, then in the next episode Cobra Kai was gifted another chance and stayed in the tournament.  In hindsight I guess it should have been obvious, but it felt to me like the perfect way for CK to end their reign.  Robbie Keene, the son of Cobra Kai's best student, puts them to sleep for good.  That is how it should have ended.  There was a lot of buildup during the episodes about Silver and Kreese fighting, a fight I was looking forward to, but we never saw it fully conclude.  

I am interested in the background of Miyagi fighting in the tournament, and hope that this is explained further in the episodes, and in the potential prequel.

Went back and watched it again, and I guess the purpose of the all-out brawl was to see everyone fighting everyone, especially the sensei's.  Makes sense but I am kind of played out on the massive brawls that take place over and over in the show.
