I like it much more than the old SP. I think it needs a bit more mileage - and I also think I need to rewatch it a few times too, to make up my mind about it. Anyway, I think it has potential.

I believe they should be cut some slack since they were forced to come up with a brand new program at the last minute. I liked it, though. And it will be more effective with actual costumes, I'm sure.
I really like the first part of the steps sequence, for a 3 weeks old program it's not bad.
And I like the music contrary to the Onegin' SP.

Well surprisingly I was most impressed by the Australian team! They seemed very comfortable and confident. My sis-in-law thinks that the only pair to have any clear connection to their music was Cain LeDuc, and I kinda agree.
After many years of thinking Astakova/Rogonov were robbed, I now see why they score what they score. So different in person.
Thrilled for the Aussies!

Hmm, that was an unfortunately rare 3Lz pop from Meagan.

This event, though short, was actually a lot more competitive than the scores reflect. Even with mistakes the Canadians were the class of the field and when they're clean, I can't see anyone beating them. I'll say it again that the Russians were a pleasant surprise, especially him. In fact, I can believe he doesn't skate singles. Lastly, I loved seeing Patrick in the audience and I swear that was Nathan sitting next to him. Is that right? Anyway, if it was I think it shows just how cool Patrick is because, IMO, Nathan is only skater in the field that can challenge him technically. Artistically, he doesn't really have competition at this event.

For sure, better there than anywhere else she'll be competing this season!

What I said. For two years I've wondered why they scored so low, I just couldn't understand it. But now I've seen them in person, I understand it bit better. They just seem better on video than many of their competitors, but in person they are about equal. They are by no means bad! Just different from what I expected.

You don't think there might be a bit of a difference in performing a program that one has trained a few months - to a few weeks? It just seems odd to make a judgement of them as a pair in general based on a program that is only a couple of weeks old. (They scrapped the new SP they had prepared after the test skates in September because it didn't work.)
