This board seems really cranky today. What's going on?
Lack of sleep due to 4CC being on the 'wrong' side of the world for many?
Coffee and a huge pastry may fix things a bit...It helps for me.I'm living a nightmare right now. I'm severely jet-lagged and I haven't even left my city... and I need to go back to work tomorrow morning.

BTW, I'm so glad that you share your vids with us here. The live streams were pretty bad for a lot of people, so getting to see the vids so soon after broadcast was a treat. So thanks again.
Maybe tomorrow morning. Right now, I need to figure out how to get to sleep (and not keep throwing off my schedule for the rest of the week).
I never get sick of hearing the 'thanks', even if I don't reply to each one individually. If I ever stopped hearing from folks, I'd probably eventually cease the effort. As long as people are watching and are appreciative, it continues to be a worthwhile endeavor for the time being.
I will stop replying to you RIGHT HERE so you can get your sleep. Oyasuminasai (have a good sleep)
Galas at each competition have home skaters no matter how they placed, this is not something exclusive to Korea. GPF gala had Hurtado/Diaz, who weren't even competing (and I'm glad they got invited, they were great!)
Why do you feel the need to justify yourself? As far as I can see nobody jumped at you for your comments. In the end, you expressed your opinion about Polina's EX and others (including myself) did too. Some agreed with you, while others didn't. It's all just our individual perception, there is no right and wrong. If we all liked the same programs for the same reasons, then what would we be talking about?
Yes but this was a little overboard and when Oly will be in Korea I think there should be more of a balance. Invite an MVP type any place that is cool but that was a lot of skaters and seemed not balanced. That said I worry about NBC covering a major event with a skater that is from Korea or another country that places 18th or? instead of a place much higher. I love that local skaters or others were invited and if it were a more comparable comp. like Sectionals? not an NBC worthy one it would sit better. I think it is great but I also worry about getting coverage for NBC if this is going to be happening. Just a concern. Invite the top 4 plus one from each discipline and maybe 4 other special performances. Good balance and also gives the athletes something to shoot for in a major competition while also encouraging NBC coverage we need more figure skating on NBC!!!hwell:
