The fashion police will again hate Caroline’s costume this year

And Michael’s vest needs better.tailoring!

Rhapsody in Pale Blue.

 

[zebobes]

Has anyone ever had the idea to use Rhapsody in Blue as a love story between a flight attendant and pilot, dressed in United Airlines uniforms? Because I think it's such a bad idea, it would be amazing to watch. In fact, this is kind of my head canon for G/P's FD...

 

[litenkyckling]

the spin was really pretty?

I'd like this on another team - but I think we all have higher expectations from Gr/P now?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Nice but not great, and it pales in comparison to their last season's FD

 

[norwegianfairytale]

A lot of reviews, but I like this program a lot and with more practice this can be fantastic

My immediate reaction? I bet Tanith Belbin choreographed this. Whenever I listen to her dance commentary, it is clear to me that she has very conventional taste

It's too conventional for these two. Last season's free dance was phenomenal, this one blends into the background.

What did G/P get? I was refreshing and missed that (the "live"scoring page isn't updating).

104 for the free dance, I think, and 177 in total

177 overall score.

Thank you, Ruthypegs and norwegianfairytale. The scoring page updated now (or perhaps there was a problem with my internet).

And now for a PSA brought to you by the Taschlers

 

[IceDancingQueen]

Gotta say kinda disappointed with Green/Parsons free dance. It makes me sad cause I love these two, but it was just very bland for such a dynamic pair. It's good they are going for a different style but even with this style there could have been more innovation. It didn't feel like they really believed in what they were skating to either? Felt very much like they were going through the motions but not connecting with the music which they are normally very good at. Hopefully just teething issues from a move to a new coaching teaming, but I expected more from Tanith and co for them. After last year, I thought they would sky rocket over C/P and maybe even challenge H/B for the US second spot but not so sure now.

At least the music, On the Nature of Daylight, is beautiful

It is, all the music used in the program are beautiful, but we don't like PSA programs and apparently neither do the judges, I don't get the Taschler's choice

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Well I kinda like it, it´s intense and creative

 

[litenkyckling]

I really appreciate what they're trying to do here - but the voiceovers - I can't take them seriously

What does PSA mean? Political?
