Since we discussed it in this thread, Big Shot season 2 is also coming, October 12th.

An amazing double cameo straight away

Spoiler: A little bit spoiler, and a little bit prediction

Cole jr becomes friends with the Ducks is a given. They either make him a better hockey player or show him that there is other things one can do in life. AJ turns out to be a nice guy (not likely). There was NO mention of the players who are not there, continuing the tradition or will we hear about them later?

 

[mattihp]

Still following the tradition of not telling us what happened with the missing players.

Season 2 first episode on Disney+ today.

I didn't really enjoy it. No Emilio is going to kill it for me.

The first episode was so-so, feels like it is getting better. But so much less lighthearted without coach bombay

 

[mattihp]

Well it is a high school girl's basketball team... And John Stamos is 182 cm. But I recommend watching the show. It was entertaining and somewhat heartwarming.

On finishing the second season..

The worst place to be in showbiz and in fictional sports... Is the Sirens' bench. Poor girls. As soon as a starter is ineligible they get someone new...

Disney+ is doing a Silver Surfer project!

This season is not good.

 

[mattihp]

This season is not good.

I do like it, but miss the players who disappeared. There's also pretty much no hockey and the characters except for Nick are bleaker.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Yeah, and its pretty much guaranteed that the Ducks are going to roll over this tournament with team work and perky spirit.

They really need them to get caved in by a team of really talented players coached by a former NHL player.

 

[mattihp]

So the ducks who went toe to toe with good teams were not that welcome.. But an alaskan kid who hasn't played against anyone.. Ever? Is a good fit?

 

[mattihp]

Worst episode by far. It felt.. Empty. There was some hockey at least.

As much as last season hit all the right notes, this one is failing miserably.

It is like it has become a parody of itself. I like the premise, but the execution is lacking. Like Jace finally embracing the team, great idea, bad execution.

Totally agree. I also feel sad that they're going the same route as the movies and ignoring the kids that didn't come back. Psyched for the result of the cliffhanger though.

Genuinely curious.. why not try and cast actors that can actually play hockey? Really can’t take this seriously when there are people who can not even raise a puck suppose to be the “best of the best”.

I know it’s the same in the OG series and maybe that’s their goal but man it’s rubs me the wrong way and is too unrealistic to care about as a non-child

In the OG movie series they used the same three or four stunt guys for all of them. It was annoying when Luís changed handedness back and forth for every cut in his scenes..

This show is actually quite bad but I can't stop watching it.

And how much longer can they go on referencing Bombay as if he is still involved with the team until they have to finally acknowledge his character is gone for good?

I don’t really miss Bombay. EE felt like he was collecting a paycheck and being forced to reprise the role.

Josh Duhamel is doing a kick ass job of making me forget about Bombay and gives Cole a very authentic vibe.

Him getting caught with the ice cream and trying to escape was funny as hell.

 

[mattihp]

Was that a setup for mr Knucklepuck?

I was hoping that...

Spoiler

Charlie Conway was going to be the head coach. They kept hinting at someone big showing up only for it to be Zegras and Terry. I was disappointed

That being said, it was the best episode of the season by far. The got some of the right tone back and it worked.

Jace's arc is interesting, but before yesterday, the execution was bad. Same for Evan's arc. The rest, meh, supporting characters without much substance, but that's fine. Oh and...

Spoiler

Coach Cole kissing Alex was soooooooooooo predictable. I would have hope they did not go that way. Them becoming good friends, fine. A couple? Meh.

I hoped the same thing, but it does seem that the other cameo is coming instead.
