So happy to see “One of Us is Lying” got renewed for a 2nd season!!! :D I love Karen’s books and I really did love this adaptation. Interesting to see Deadline confirm season 2 will not be adapting the 2nd book in the series “One of Us is Next” but do it’s own thing, which a lot of us realized as season 1 went on and how it ended. That’s totally fine with me and the writers did say they wrote all of season 1 before that book came out so they had no idea what was going to happen in the now trilogy (the final book is out next year) and Karen gave them the ok to make this their own thing so it’s fine with me. Very curious who all will come back and if they’ll cast new characters either from the book or exclusive ones to the show. They will film again in New Zealand too in a couple months, so for like Annalisa and Barrett if they’re in a possible 6th season of “Cobra Kai” it won’t affect it and likely why I think they’re still in season 5 too as this show finished just in time for them to be on set.

Cobra Kai 4.8-4.9 Thoughts

Now through episode 4.9 of “Cobra Kai” and this season has been great!!! :D I still can’t get over so many of the twists and surprises. Lots of spoilerly things to discuss too and will watch the finale either tonight or tomorrow. Also I did post yesterday about the other episodes but with the tags having been messed up it didn’t show up till it was fixed but still on my blog for those that want to read it.

OMG so much happen in just these 2 eps!!! :o First I want to say I love how they’ve done the tournament and it’s so much like watching wrestling in a good way, and doing the kata and skills events being more like how it is in real life and how it was last summer during the Olympics.  That was so cool to see. I didn’t mind at all seeing Carrie Underwood either as I’ve always liked her music and have been a fan since was on “American Idol”.

But first have to talk about that scene in 4.8 with Johnny and Terry!!! :o That was terrifying and yes I do still think they are father and son which makes this even more sinister and that he knows Johnny is Kreese’s weakness.  That was tough to watch and reminded me not only of JJ on “Outer Banks” with his abusive dad but sadly my own cousin who had a terrible father and thankfully we’ve all cut ties with (my parents sheltered me a LOT from what he did til I was old enough to tell but I’ll still never forgive him for it). Makes me feel even more for Johnny and Robby, and knowing that reveal about Terry being Johnny’s dad is likely going to happen in season 5 as there’s too many hints now that Johnny’s going to look into his own father.

Still doesn’t mean I don’t like Terry as I do. He’s being written so well as such a diabolical villain like The Joker, Darth Vader, etc and Thomas is doing amazing. The only thing is I don’t think there’s anything they can do to redeem him so likely means like Vader he will die next season. The thing will be if it’s similar to what happened to Vader.

Then I liked seeing Stingray back. I know some don’t like him but Paul’s hilariousj and I knew him from “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” before “Cobra Kai’ and now all the movies he’s appeared in the past few seasons. That’s why he wasn’t in season 3 as he was filming “Cruella”.  What happened to him was so sad too.

Also awesome seeing Ralph’s daughter Julia play his cousin Vanessa!!! :D She looks so much like him that I knew instantly it was her. Also still fascinating he has a daughter who’s only 5 years younger than me.

Loved the junior prom too and seeing everyone dressed up. And sounds like Johnny’s own junior prom led to him and Ali breaking up. Though even more tension with the teens now. I actually like Robby and Tory together, and have always been a Miguel and Sam shipper. Curious to see where this goes as we’re at least getting a 6th season so likely will keep changing. Am happy Eli reunited with Moon too and Yazmine/Annalisa was able to film a bit again too with her other show.

Then poor Miguel with that scene with Johnny and him mistaking him for Robby. All he wants is a dad too and thinks Johnny doesn’t care for him enough now and curious about his own dad (who I posted before seems to have been cast for season 5) and now the issues with Sam (who I’m glad did use more of Johnny’s training to get to the finals). And then he’s possibly injured!!! :o

Can’t wait to see what the finale has in store and what it’ll set up for season 5!!! :D
