I apologize for making this thread, but I couldn't find the thread on TV that someone originally posted. I have finally started to binge Cobra Kai over the past two weeks. It is really, really good. Especially for me. Or guys my age. Basically, I am those guys, I was in HS when it came out, I am the same age (well thankfully a few years younger than the actual actors) but essentially it is guys who graduated HS in the early mid 80's and are now in the early to mid 50's. So all of the flashbacks, I mean bring you back.
But I caught an episode tonight that just really caused me to pause. Season 2, Episode 6. "Take A Right" is its title. Basically, Johnny Lawrence goes back and has a night out with some of his old Cobra Kai mates. And they had all the actors that played the guys from back then. Almost unrecognizable in many ways, of course, it is 35 years........but they focused on "Tommy". If you all remember the original movies, he was the "get him the body bag" kid. My god, the dude looked 80. He had terminal cancer. His character anyways....and in the episode he died. I looked up on IMDB, and he really did have terminal cancer and died shortly after making this episode.
It effing freaked me out. One line, one line and I am serious it brought me to tears......"where did the time go..." Where did it go? Now seeing this, attending former childhood friends funerals from heart attacks, cancer, OD, whatever.......it goes so fast. It really goes so fast. I really haven't had anything effect me like this in a long time. I guess this hits me harder because I can see me then, and I can see me now in the mirror. It goes so fast.
