Well, I love the theatrical, dramatic direction. They never repeat themselves from year to year, so I anticipated something like this could be next in their repertoire. To me, the concept isn't contrived, it's poetic. A lost soul (Zach) calls upon the angel of death (Madison) to end his misery, but she decides it's not his time to die.
It's apparent that they were still getting used to post-Champs Camp changes at this competition, but I'm excited about the way the choreography is developing. I think the program is a great vehicle to show off their interpretation and power especially, but also complexity, elegance and beautiful quality of movement. Their skating skills are put on display, gorgeous glide and deep edges.
As far as who will rank where at Nationals, I have no clue how to have an opinion about programs I've yet to see. I just know that H/D look to be on a good path, healthy and on track in terms of preparation.

I'm a big fan of these two, and I really love their SD this season despite all of its controversy. I tried to count and it does seem to have a Ravensburger beat... do you think they'll get a music deduction at TEB?

THere has been a lot of speculations about music deductions, but to my knowledge only one team has gotten a deduction this season, and it was for their FD not for the SD.
I remember three teams: Kim/Minov, Nazarova/Nikitin and Ippolito/Preiss. However, Kim/Minov and Ippolito/Preiss received deductions for their second rhythm, and Nizarova/Nikitin got only 1 pointe tempo violation deduction. As far as I know, no one actually received a music violation deduction for their waltz, despite that many teams skate their RW patterns to very questionable music.

Poor Kim and Minov were hit twice and are on their third SD set of music. And they are trained by Svinin and Zhuk, the coaches of Stepanova and Bukin, who should be well-informed.
It does look like they are being lenient with the Ravensburger, but not with the second rhythm
Chock and Bates and Weaver and Poje were warned about their music at post competition reviews.
I know with Chock and Bates, it was the second rhythm, but I am not sure what Weaver and Poje were warned about.

Looking forward to seeing H/D .I really like their programmes and I hope they can rise in the rankings this season.:thumbsup:
I know it will be difficult but they have a more mature look on the ice than S/S and H/B .
Are they a couple off ice too?

I had planned to but unfortunately a professional obligation that I can't get out of has come up
I still hope to at least be able to watch a stream live for most of it though 
Months ago, but now Madison is with Adria Díaz.

With Díaz and Hurtado split, will Díaz perhaps return to Spain.

Probably not. I think the Spanish Federation's coaching team choice is still Montreal. Following the split, Sara wanted to spend some time home in Spain. But she's said that part of the criteria for her new partner tryouts is that the guy is willing to train in Montreal.
