I haven't had any problems lately with Peacock either.
Off to reset my router!

Agree on both. No problems with Peacock here. If freezing, it's likely your internet connection.Same on both comments.
I watched Peacock, and it didn't freeze once, so maybe it was another issue with yours.Oh lovely /sarcasm.
Peack has frozen so many times I feel like I never got to see the program. Even the scores were delayed due to the yellow spinning circle of death.
Me. I get so tired of frenetic and jumpy in ice dance. I really sink into the slower tempos, and appreciate each move. All the more so if there's intensity ... like H/D and G/P, to name but two.But who was hoping for ethereal and peaceful?
It was a fluke fall today, but I still LOVE this team and this program and would not count them out. There is still a lot of skating to be done!I don't know who choreographs Green/Parsons' programs, but s/h/they seem to like making geographic shapes- especially with their arms. Clearly not their best skate....I guess them getting to the Olympics is a long shot now.
But I still think their rhythm dance is far and away better than Hubble/Donahoue
I like that they start their twizzles from a complete stop and in one push they already have the speed, and near perfect unison every time. Not sure I see anyone else even able to do that. There is a degree of difficulty in this program, and their RD, that is impressive (very few crossovers, lots of transitions, etc.). They should be USA's third team.Caroline and Michael's FD is original and absolutely gorgeous, with their movements. But my favorite thing about it is that the music is slow, and they match their movements to the music from the beginning. It shows something unique and sets them apart from any other dance team. You can see the intensity and passion in each move. I love it. Fall is just a fluke.
I mean, we haven't even seen H/B (who are arguably faster) yet, so thats a little prematureI like that they start their twizzles from a complete stop and in one push they already have the speed, and near perfect unison every time.

Gasp! I'm sorry to say I didn't look closely enough at Shane's height to tell! I'll keep my eye out next time.Is Shane Firus a member of @anonymoose_au 's Small and Mighty Club?
This is a true fact.he is very tall and handsome sorry... i had to say it
For sure!Michael Parsons - what a fantastic ice dancer he is. Wow. Just amazing!
And surely another key member of the Small but Mighty Club, @anonymoose_au ?
Ivan clearly! Although he's more cute? But I definitely love his faceAnd the first hottest????
I could buy Ivan as Russia's greatest love machineyeah, yeah, Rasputin? Really!
Indeed! Lucky for them I dare sayWhat about Zachy? I'd give him any score he wants.
OMG...is that an actual costume someone wore while skating?! I kinda want to see it if so!You rang?
I really like Parsons and Green and found their free dance to be the most innovative and interesting of the competition. The fall was so sad., How often do you see ice dancers at the elite level fall! Just a bad edge I guess. Papadakis and Cizeron were magical. Not impressed at all with Hubbell and Donahue's skates - especially their rhythm dance. US Nationals are going to be interesting this year!!
My Mom's Parkinson's has progressed to the point where taking care of her is pretty much all I'm doing, so figure skating has had to take a back seat to that. However, I did manage to catch NBC's extensive (yes I'm lying) coverage of the FD with the usual expert commentary by Tweedledum and Tweedledee (yes, that is a bigger lie). Wow, NBC...TWO whole performances.Hubbell/Donohue #GPItaly FD H: "We made a mistake at the end but sometimes you jump in the air and you hit your partner in the crotch (thank you for not falling over, Zach!). We are disappointed with score today and our combo lift only getting +2 (from judge 2), so we need to get the feedback on that. Our connection to the program is growing."
This was the other program NBC covered, and I'll calls it as I sees it: this is a remarkably adult and sophisticated program. It certainly does need polish, and they've toned down some of their more tres moderne impulses (it is, after all, An Olympic Year), but I was genuinely curious and genuinely impressed.Papadakis/Cizeron #GPItaly FD
"We're very happy with our performance today. We've made some improvements since Finlandia Trophy. We really pushed ourselves in the last few weeks to get our levels up. There a lot of things to work on at the next GP. We know there's lot of improvement to be made and we're looking forward to seeing this program evolve."
Just saw this message, WA. Best wishes. Love to you and your family.My Mom's Parkinson's has progressed to the point where taking care of her is pretty much all I'm doing, so figure skating has had to take a back seat to that.

As far as H/D, the combo lift is easily the most impressive lift they've ever done (considering how many times they relied on her stepping on his boot for a "lift" over the years, this was A Low Bar To Hurdle). The program is dull as dishwater, but they skate it well. Their honesty about the crotch mishap is far more entertaining...
Hope y'all are well. I miss my UberDanceFans, but I AM reading the comments when I can.
