I like S/S so much, and I really love their SP. I think the LP is interesting, but will have to grow on me a bit - for the first half or maybe more, I was like cool and felt a sort of musical/choreographical/element building - then I was surprised just how much was left. Will have to see it again to understand it better; but no doubt in my mind they are up there in a league of their own.
About the costumes: it's not that I dislike them, and in fact, kind of think they are cool. But I don't think I like such similar designs - or use of color I should say - for the SP and LP; what distracted me was the lack of differentiation and the thought that: hey, I might see the LP costumes in the SP sometime this season....
But, congrats to them and the other medalists!
ETA - meant to say that I quite liked D/R too!
I'm a huge fan of S/S, but ITA re the too similar use of graffiti design from sp to fp. I thought the sp costumes were cool and different, but was not expecting the same thing with the flamenco theme in fp. I liked Aliona's skirt, but I feel they need to rethink the fp costumes, especially for Robin. Agree also re Bolero music. I didn't like it when I heard they were using it, but felt it possible they would bring something special, but so far, no. ITA with StellaCampo that Torvill and Dean interpreted this music to perfection, and for S/S it simply did not build in the way the music calls for. They did perform all their wonderful elements well (I think they doubled some jumps, don't know if that was planned).
I would like to see S/S go in a completely different direction for the Olympic season. And change this season's fp costumes and rework the choreo. Too bad they found that they couldn't expand on Pina in the way they would have liked. I do enjoy their
Kismet sp. Also agree that V/T don't have anything special with either their sp or their fp this season, although their fp may have more potential than the sp.
ETA: I simply dislike the repetitive nature of the Bolero music, and I don't think the flamenco flavor helps at all. They really need to do something extra special with the choreo to make the repetitive music work. S/S are special, but I'm disappointed with fp at this point.
Having problems with posting; not sure why ...

Unfortunately too many mistakes in fp, but I enjoyed their sp; they do need to up their difficulty. They are a new team and need to develop further. Hope Lindsay isn't feeling too much pressure to live up to Mark's success with his previous partner, Amanda Evora.

Vise/Baldwin fp:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezSiq1iVVaU Loved their music and they performed well. There's a cool move where Vise is positioned upside down with her hands balancing her on Baldwin's skate boot.
Looking at Popova/ Massot in the fp, I thought they skated very poorly; V/B skated much better than them.
Not saying I'm not enjoying the view re Robin's skin-tight "body suits" (not so much "baby crawlers" 
). But just why the same type of graffiti style outfits for both programs? One outside the box idea for sp is fine and interesting. But OTT and not in a good way for fp, especially re flamenco theme.
