I hope Jason makes it, but there are are actually a few scenarios where he could miss out. Since Misha and Evgeni are skating at home next week, I wouldn’t be surprised if they skate well and go 1-2 in some order, with high scores.

Sure, but in my country we have a saying, "Hope dies last." And he does have a chance. If not, I hope he kills it at Golden Spin.I hope Jason makes it, but there are are actually a few scenarios where he could miss out.

I am so angry about the popped salchow in that combo god damn it!!! He was so close to making GPF and now we have to wait an entire week to find out 
But still, a rotated quad, no missed levels on spins or steps and good PCS. Plus, a silver and bronze on the GP circuit is the best grand prix season he’s had in years! I hope he does make GPF but I still think he’s on the right trajectory for the Olympics

He has now officially landed a fully rotated quad with no argument. It will get better. It took me by surprise. I hadn't realized that they relocated it and was shocked when that first jump happened. It was so well rotated, I didn't actually absorb that it was the 4S until the score block came up. Whatever they did to reorganize the program did help. But his emotional content is still not there. It will also get there. Today's overall score was his season's best. He's going in the right direction overall.Although he got negative GOE on the 4S for the two-foot, he actually got full credit for the rotation! So really it’s the best he’s ever done!
ETA kan01 beat me to it!
Folks, has Jason ever medaled in both GPs before?
I don't remember it, but it could be a senior moment.
This is the first time he's medaled in both GPs. When he made the GPF in 2017 he had a 2nd & a 4th.
Congratulations to Jason on the rotated quad and medal!

I'm very proud of him. I made lots of loud squeaks at a very ungodly hour when he stood up on the 4S and when he hit both 3As.
I'm not going to lie through my teeth to my fellow Jasonites and say that of course the 4S was rotated. It wasn't. Our beloved Jason got an incredible present today, but after some of the gifts this season other skaters have received, I'll take it every day of the week. Or we could view it as karma for that 4T at 2016 Skate America being called UR when it was clean.
I'll be honest: there's no amount of clean jumps that could make me think this version of Schindler's superior to the old. I've come to that conclusion last night. The first version was superior.

And how many people said that Jason would never be competitive internationally without a quad. Oh yes he can. And now he's got a quad! He never gave up!This is the first time he's medaled in both GPs. When he made the GPF in 2017 he had a 2nd & a 4th.

I agree. There was something special about that first version. I can't put my finger on what's wrong. It's definitely better than earlier in the season. But it doesn't go as deep for whatever reason. It's not Jason's skating. There is some heart missing. He is doing his best to resonate, but something is missing. We'll see what the next outing looks like. I think if he can find the piece that's missing, it will all come together.

I think I want to watch the versions back to back, but I know I miss the little bit with the traditional Jewish dance moment.

Yes. During that section, he would lift his chin at the judges - it spoke of defiance, strength, you cannot make me die. It was both the defiance in the theme - that the Jewish people would not be destroyed - and the defiance of Jason - that he would not be destroyed. So much told in that small movement.
The new section just does not have the same feeling, to me. I can't see those details any more.

An excellent description.
That was so well said. Being Jewish and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor I completely agree with your interpretation. That dance called the hora has survived so many generations and is so meaningful to the Jewish community. I miss Jason's dance and subtle defiance as well. It used to bring me to tears.

I think the whole point of changing that section was to change the feeling. I know he’s trying hard to say something but it’s not coming through. Perhaps he’s trying to convey someone who has lost everything and is wandering around in a daze…ie less literal storytelling and more emotion. But if that’s what they’re going for, I think David Wilson should have given him more to work with in that section, because it just seems empty and the ending section is overly crammed with too much movement that doesn’t match with the music. His Ina B is lovely but it really isn’t as effective as the long spiral was. I miss the old program.

Thank you for reminding me what the dance was called.

Why would the technical controllers review it and decide to give a present to Jason? They see it from different angles and it was clearly rotated to them or at least more rotated than the second axel who got a q? Why give the quad to him and give a q on the axel? The public seemed to think the quad was under and both axels clean while the technical controllers saw it differently. What makes people think we know better from only one angle than three experts who look at it from multiple angles and in different slow motions? I, for one, trust the specialized staff. Jason also got a ! on the sequence lutz and there was no reason to gift him anything. Jason already has a lot of haters who desperately want to minimize any victory he has, we as viewers only get one angle and even from that angle it looks q at most to my untrained eye.
There's also a trend I see with journalists and commentators and the general public to automatically assume Jason's quad is under just because it's Jason. The whole event had bad camera angles and closeups so I wouldn't be quick to call out the controllers on gifting him anything.
