D/W were amazing! They really worked on closing up the some of the gaps in the choreography since SLC.
If I stick around on the stream, do you guys think they'll show the medal ceremony?
Also I thought Meryl and Charlie looked pretty tense/nervous in the kiss & cry, as well as before the performance started. I guess there is a lot of pressure this season, what with it being the Olympics and them being favorites.

The problem with D/W is that they are performing too well too early. They are peaking too soon. I hope they do not leave their best skates on the grand prix circuit. Thats what happened with The Bat program. I think if they make a few mistakes early on it may actually help them in the long run.

WOW!
This team...they are the reason I became interested in ice dance and I haven't been sorry once. D/W continue to amaze me and the improvements they have made just astound me. This is not the same team from Vancouver, not at all.
Strong, dynamic performance for so early in the season. And it can only grow from here. It wasn't totally perfect, either; there is still so much potential in this FD. I can't wait to see them develop this dance with further choreographic detail, emotion and technical strength as well.
ETA: I do hope they continue to add to this. It's already so strong, that I too worry a bit that toward the end of the season there won't be anything new about it (not that it wouldn't continue to amaze me as is). But in comparison to The Bat, there's already much more choreographic detail. I'm hoping for little touches to continue to be added, help keep it fresh.
Love this FD.

No kidding!
Big improvement just since the Salt lake City B event.
I thought it was good at SLC. Tonight was draw-dropping. I think I've spotted a couple of places with upgraded transitions/choreo... but I'll have to watch the SLC and this back-to-back.
But, wasn't the leadup to the first lift more complex, and the last spin was a rework, wasn't it?
Edit: I meant didn't they rework the last LIFT... not spin.

I worry about this too! I want the world to see their brilliance!
Is it true that Tanith Belbin is dating Charlie? TSL's tweet makes it seem so!

As for the Shibutani's, I think the fall took a little of the sauce out of Alex. There was not much Michael Jackson in their Michael Jackson. Everything needs to be sharper and crisper. I do think their dance had greater technical content than Hubbell and Donohue, though. It will be a dogfight for the second and third Olympic spots, and don't forget Lynn and Logan.
They've been dating for sometime. Several years. I always admire that Tanith keeps it professional during her commentary.

To be fair to D/W they didn't peak 'too soon' with Die Flaudermaus; that was amazing from its first outing, and stayed amazing throughout. I'm just thrilled they turned in a fantastic performance, especially considering how many family and friends they had in the stands
... If I say any more about the program I probably will lose coherence haha. I loved it!
