Oh, I loved how they made Daniel and Mr. Miyagi look like total douchebags just by using original clips from the movie! I'm really enjoying seeing things from Johnny's point of view, he makes a great anti-hero.
«You may know the moves, but none of that matters unless you have balance. I means balancing your life. Look, Robby... I know it’s hard growing up without a dad, believe me. But when those bad feelings all weigh you down, you gotta... you gotta search inside for the good stuff, you know, and just... Because then you can find some balance in your life. You understand? It’s not easy, but you’ll do it».

«Puoi conoscere le mosse, ma non ha importanza se non hai equilibrio. [...] Intendevo quello della tua vita. Senti, Robby, so che è dura crescere senza un padre, credimi. Ma quando i cattivi pensieri ti schiacciano, devi... devi cercare dentro di te le cose buone. E solo così puoi trovare un equilibrio nella tua vita. Lo capisci? Non è facile, ma ce la farai».
Weakest episode of the season by far. Has been a great season, but this episode was all very predictable. Misunderstandings don’t make for great drama, only cheap writing.
"I'm her boyfriend" WTF!?!??! SINCE WHEN? YOU IDIOT.
The karate kid from Johnny’s perspective was great
Another great episode. But what is this...Romeo & Juliet???

Oh dear, there we go with the drama :o :D Not sure if I like it or not but I probably do since it'd likely be boring without it. The drama can certainly be entertaining but also so frustrating because I care about the characters and they'd just need to listen/communicate more.
Apart from the rivalry between Johnny and Daniel things were looking very good (ok, Hawk is also getting too overconfident and turning into a bully and Johnny must change his teachings a bit but that seems doable). But then Robby (a ticking time bomb) and especially Daniel's brother Louie manage mess everything up.
Anyway, Daniel is a really good influence for Robby and Miguel and Carmen are changing Johnny for the better. Some really nice quotes too:
