What are your favorite and hated moves in figure skating?

Excuse my lack of skating terminology!

Favourites:
"Flying" 3 Axel
A nice step sequence (electric or soft) without too much curving-blade-work
The spin position that looks like a diagonal pearl-drop held with one hand
YuNa's 3-3's (teehee)

Least liked:
Fan spiral (it's always looked kind of stupid to me :frown2
The spin position with the leg held up in front of the face, a common finishing move
--neither of these moves look graceful at all!

What's a fan spiral? Is that the one where the skater sort of sticks their rear out and leans to one side and lifts their leg up? If so, not one of my favorites either.

I think the second one you are trying to describe is the I-spin. As I've said, for me Sasha is the only one who I think pulls it off.

I mean I know what it physically looks like...but...what is it supposed to convey or paint a picture of? LOL It just reminds me of a dog getting ready to pee.

I know this speaks volumes about my immaturity...
