Yeah. They look like they're dressed up for a Star Trek convention. I've seen worse though. Unfortunately.
I might be wrong but I think K/O did in their 1999 free dance although that might have featured other African instruments as well. I can only really remember the drum beat.
I liked S/K's program. But everything seemed just slightly "off"--the lift, the throw, even the footwork (I think he put his free foot down at one point, where he wasn't supposed to?)
(On the other hand, I probably should've changed my prediction about Park in the ladies discipline)
I should've stuck with my original prediction of Tarasova/Morozov in second... Was a bit too swayed by Denney/Frazier's clean skates at SA.

Lift mistakes can be quite costly, especially if they lose levels, which Stolbova & Klimov did (it was only Lvl 1). They can do a better 3F throw than that, too, I think. Tarasova & Morozov were no slouches today either, so having Stolbova & Klimov ahead by just a bit looks right to me.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?!When I saw Ksenia and Fedor's costumes, I thought they were going to be skating to "The Jetsons"!!!
Absolutely brilliant skate! They should be leading by a country mile, if not two!
That was so better than their routines last season.
After seeing that, I can't wait until the GP Final!

Oh, that's it. I couldn't figure out what her jumpsuit reminds me of, and it's the Jetsons. It gives off a very futuristic vibe, but other than that, their skate is mesmerizing and powerful.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I can see it. I guess I overestimated their pcs, given their status and all.
You were right. I found it here: http://youtu.be/xLwSDFgBm0U. It's not 100% pure drums, though.
Japanese Taiko might also make an interesting music for FS.

I actually was going to do a SP to "Night Fight" from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. So glad to see S/K tackle that -- that step sequence was sloppy but by the end of the season it'll be amazing, I'm sure. Between that and Addam's Family, I really appreciate them trying unconventional music.
Shaking my head at the Mortal Kombat symbol emblazoned on Fedor though.
And Ksenia's outfit looked like some weird space age thing. Otherwise solid skate. T/M stole the SP for me though... lovely program!

Wow, Tarasova/Morozov were great! I was really impressed with them in SC (it was my first time seeing them), but here... just wow
Same! It's their first full senior season and they're already so impressive, I hope they can skate their LP well though, at SC they were a bit off but they have so much potential

What a great afternoon to showcase the strength and diversity of Russian Pairs Skating. I really like A/R, they have got real pizazz and sell the heck out of their programme, judging by his reaction I think he expected to higher score. Still doesn't mean I have forgotten M/R. It would be great to see them get on the podium but I expect D/F to challenge them tomorrow.
A really strong performance for T/M to be a very close second. I loved all their technical elements but I found the music a bit overpowering towards the end. They have adjusted to Seniors so well and look right at home in this environment. They had a slightly disappointing free in Canada, hopefully they do better tomorrow.
It's amazing to see the level that S/K now skate at, moving to Mozer has brought them to a whole new level and they have continued this season where they left off last season. The steps at the end didn't quite work with the music. It looked she fell out of the lift and only got a level 1 and that hurt there mark somewhat. The costumes could do with some reworking, hers looks like Romulan(Star Trek) or Dynasty inspired and his definitely is Mortal Kombat inspired.

I'm happy for S&K. Tarasova&Morozov will become a strong couple, I like them a lot.
With Robin's help they will really become a danger sooner than I thought.
Not surpirsed with the 3rd young russian couple. They are talented and they did very well at volvo cup.
Good start.

Michal Brezina's programs had lots of drums with little music, same as S/K's program I think.
Looks like S/K have always looking for something different. I like the program but not her costume. As a pair, they have strong single skills. They seemed to run out of steam and sync towards the end.
I am not sure if it is the choreography. Except for the jumps and side-by-side spins, they are skating to different choreography?

Dont really like S/K's program.... they hit the big elements in the first half, which i believe is not a good balance........
kind of boring with the drums going through the whole program...
plus,,,, I wonder who is the designer of the costume.........looks so cartoon
