That season was amazing {Spoiler}- Wasn't expecting Jessica to be related to Amanda, but they did it in a way that makes sense and doesn't fell shoehorned. She stayed in touch with Daniel, and when Amanda moved to Los Angeles put her and Daniel in touch. And she brought mac and cheese.
- The final battle was perfect. Miyagi-Do's got the better fighters, but Cobra Kai has them outnumbered big time. Demetri finally got to kick the crap out of Kyler, that was satisfying. Eli/Hawk showed growth when he said the loss to Kenny is life, you win some and you lose some. And we got Devon joining back up with Johnny's dojo.
- Then there's the Daniel vs Silver fight, or should I say squash. Silver got his ass beat, and the end was the Crane Kick. Nobody on this show is on Daniel's level when it comes to defense. He can be outmatched on offense, but on defense, he's a whole other level.

Just finished episode nine - {Spoiler}So the show did the one thing I was really really hoping they would not do, they decided to pair up Chozen and Kumiko. I've been enjoying Chozen this season, I'm glad he got to have a redemption, but this is just going too far. It's like a woman winding up with a former stalker or would-be rapist. It just feels wrong and gross. And done with the season - {Spoiler}Great finale. I've got to say, for as much as I felt the Daniel-Terry Silver thing was uninteresting at the beginning of the season, it really developed into a riveting story as it went.
As for a sixth season, I don't know. The show feels like it's kinda hit its high water mark, although there still is obvious story left to tell. Fugitive Kreese, the Saikai Taikai tournament, crazy Korean lady sensei, Kenny needs something of a redemption, the birth of Johnny and Carmen's kid, we still don't know the details on Tory's Mom. There's enough small things unresolved to get a season out of. And I still wouldn't mind a Julie Pierce appearance.

If Stingray confessed, what are the charges against Kreese? Should he just have stayed put and he would have got out.
Also did anyone think the green screen with Johnny and Robbie in the car in Mexico was really baaaad?
Although, the scene with all the people in the phycastriats chair with Kreese was really good espically the young Johnny.

Well Kreese thought his plans with Stingray probably were up in smoke. And with what had happened probably thought he was out of options. Not sure where they go with him now though considering he's a wanted fugitive now.
As for season 6 and beyond, apparently the creators have quite a few more seasons planned. Guessing the next big arc is the world tournament with new villainous dojos from another country perhaps. Curious what their combine dojo name will be. Miyagi-Kai?

Should he just have stayed put and he would have got out. {Spoiler}If I remember correctly when Kreese was arrested he did not go peacefully and intentionally elbowed a police officer. They probably threw resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer charges on top of the original charges (assault and attempted murder against Stingray I believe). Most likely the DA would've refused to drop those charges if only to appease the local PBA and Kreese would've remained in jail awhile longer.

Btw what was with the timeline this season? Last season ended with the All Valley. That's December if I'm not mistaken. This season starts right after that, and it's summer vacation?

Best season yet, hands down. The only real flaw was I could have used a LOT more of Karate’s Bad Boy Mike Barnes.

They actually did a great job of {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}making Barnes a face And as much as I'd like to see him in future seasons, I don't really see how he'd be a big part of the story going forward. Then again, I also thought Chozen was one-and-done after appearing in Season 3, but not only was he back, he was the best part of this last season. As far as where to go from here, {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I kind of see Season 6 being the end of the series as there's only so many loose ends to tie up. The big one is obviously this new international tournament which the Miyagi-Do students will likely be preparing for.
But on the other side, with Silver in jail, Kreese as a fugitive, and all the Cobra Kai students souring after seeing the footage of Silver bribing the ref, I don't know how Cobra Kai would even fit into things anymore. Kreese would probably still be going after Johnny and Daniel, and Sensei Kim has her own issues with them, and with Tory in particular, but I can't see them running a full dojo anymore.

Only thing that could possibly stretch it {Spoiler}{Spoiler}As a fugitive, Krease sneaks into South Korea with the female sensei to start a Cobra Kai dojo down there to enter the Seitai-Taikai. I think the only satisfying ending now would be Krease’s dying a heroes death and finally having his face moment. Also, in a show that showcases attempted murder, arson and infinite amounts of assault and battery committed by adults, it really says something that the biggest douche in the whole show is still Kyler. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}It's a tie between Kyler and Penis Breath.

Looking back at the finale, because something's been bugging me {Spoiler}The painting that Mike took from Terry's house is The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, which was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Garnder Museum. So, Cobra Kai linked Terry to the biggest art heist in the world. Mike better not try to sell it, just turn it in for the $10 million reward.

Finished the last episode tonight I love how they play it so goddam straight laced over kid karate clubs I mean the amount of serious crimes committed in this season alone {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Attempted murder, dismemberment, arson, assault with a deadly weapon……Over I repeat kids karate clubs! I have to say though, I think I read the plan was for 6 seasons and they could go that route but they’ve done the kid gets brainwashed, turns into a legit psycho but then sees the light enough times now so if they do another season I hope we avoid that The show is so f'ng corny.... and I can't get enough of it!

Also, I'm with you on Chozen and Kumiko... but Chozen was the highlight of this season so I'm overlooking it. He got me by coming out of the limo at the end of the last episode saying, "It's just a flesh wound" and then saying "I should've had Short Island Iced Tea" as he was getting in the ambulance. LOL

Escape from custody. Also, when he was arrested, he elbowed one of the cops in the face, so even without Stingray, he would have assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.

Over last 2 days got all of season 5 watched.
Loved how in the Kreese prison fight,triggered over red jello,one of the bad guys is Deep South Indie vet Luke Hawx.
Plus how that jello turns out to be a plot point.
Good season. But the first one I didnt finish in one day. Since Season 1 I have gotten the show and watched the entire season in one day. This time we got 4 watched Sunday night. Then the rest done over Monday.
Hoping season 6 is the end. It is odd while I did like the first 2 Karate Kid movies,I never was a huge fan of the franchise before this show. 1 and 2 I saw like maybe 2 times each until the DVD days. 3 was watched once and never bothered with the 4th one.
But this show,damn this show got me hooked from episode 1.

Since I discovered how good this show was after buying the season 1 and 2 DVD, I've gone into every new season with the mindset of "Well last season was balls to the walls insane, what can they do to top it?" And they always manage to find a way, with this past season being no exception to that.
Next season they should wrap up all the tournament stuff and going forward just have the entire series be nothing but Daniel, Johnny, Chozen and Mike Barnes getting into drunken shenanigans' every single episode.
