I'm actually quite happy right now because I did get to see a pretty steady live stream and for the most part really enjoyed the whole thing
but boy
do commentators
have to be so annoying? at first they say that they wouldn't talk too much and we could all just enjoy the performances - and then they won't shut up! Do they get paid by the word?
And I agree, the camera work was really bad. Of course, show me the clapping ladies while the guys are on the other side performing. Genius. We would actually have seen more of the choreography if there had been only one flippin' camera.
anyways, my unqualified opinion:
Pang/Tong: that was just beyond awesome and beautiful to watch
Kostner: I loved her SP and FS costumes but, wow, that one was bad. Not a fan of that color and the gemstone arrangement was just all over the place... and why would she want to make it look like she was not wearing any underwear? it was really distracting from her performance
Javier: saw this for the first time today and literally LOLed. You gotta love people who are willing to be the class clown and want to make others laugh.
Adelina: I knew those wing-thingies were a bad idea as soon as she stepped on the ice. I'm just really glad she didn't actually fall, I could already hear the spiteful comments
Yuzuru: just loved it, that's it (though I will admit bias because I simply adore this music)
Trankov: there was not much of a fun factor during the last few performances - until that hair entered the building. fan-tastic.
And the group hug in the end really was very sweet
