I usually like Julia M's choreography.

I don't think there's a single moment in that program that I like. Not one.

I do not enjoy watching Michael lift Kristen.

Some rough elements there. The lift dismounts were cool.

Musically, not really doing it for me. I was hoping for something with a bit more energy out of a Pink Floyd program.

When it was over?

 

[Step Sequence4]

I feel like they used really monotone pink Floyd music cuts

Please...I'm doing my best to repress it from memory.

Anything that gets government money would be under a lot of pressure to provide bilingual services.

A shaky outing for Moore-Towers/Marinaro. I did like the combo spin and the ending death spiral. The opening triple twist was almost scary low, the fall from Marinaro on the sbs 3T, the fall on the throw 3Lo, and a very rough 2A+1Eu+3S attempt. It's true that they seemed undertrained and lacked the speed and glide I tend to associate with this pair. The second lift was a little bit scary too with a double hand hold that didn't seem secure.

Overall, I didn't really understand the choreography and music choices, but maybe I'll get when they've gotten more mileage behind the Pink Floyd program.

:agree: I love this program. I couldn't take my eyes off them!!!

The captivating factor is surely there and this has nothing to do with tech difficulty or landed jumps, at least for me - it is how consistently alluring their style is, how emotional, seductive journey they are giving us.

I did like the Death Spiral fist-pump!

But the music seemed to have weird sound effects on it? What's the deal with that?

Awww Ted loves us all watching around the world!

I'm a Nu Yawker. I'm contractually obligated not to do that.

I think she’s still recovering from her injury, they missed training time as a result. I’m sure it will look better with a bit more polish.

ETA. Why would they make poor Dylan interview them

 

[ancientpeas]

And everyone is thinking "I wish Kristen and Dylan were still skating together".... Well..not everyone. Just me.

In other news...why are they making this poor announcer suffer through French pronounciation? Is it a legal requirement (I remember reading somewhere that in certain parts of Canada you have to have French and English - like on signs and stuff).

I still prefer this announcer over the men's SP announcer in terms of French pronunciation. He at least sounds like he's trying. The other one sounded a bit like a robot who has heard that a language such as French exists but has no idea what it actually sounds like.

I see Dylan had to get wired.

Also Dylan reminds me of someone else..but I totally can't figure out who?! Unless it's just himself...my memory is terrible

 

[Colonel Green]

and a very rough 2A+1Eu+3S attempt.

Speaking of which, I don't understand why they keep trying a 3-jump combination that has an Euler in that. That's almost impossible to do in sync.

 

[ancientpeas]

Awkward. That is the word you are looking for Ted. Not charming, awkward.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That interview wasn't awkward...much.

It did cross my mind that maybe he's reading a phonetically spelled out card or something. Poor guy

Aww, I wanted to hear what Ted and Diane have to say, but there's ads playing over them!

Wow...Skate Canada is on Snapchat? That's kinda hilarious.
