I've been living in Shanghai's seamy underbelly. I’ve moved on to the point where I now find the nudity hilarious and the unwanted sexual advances comedy. How often does your rival pat your butt and ask for a 3-way?
I’m still waiting for the sensual eating of Pork Cutlet Bowl. Instead, coach gets drunk, strips and throws himself at Yuri in public,
Victor has no filter, does he? Victor: “Do you want me to be your boyfriend? I’ll do my best!”
Amazing gender-bending, as when Baranovskaya states her intention for Russian Yuri to be a “prima ballerina” (instead of “principle danseur”).
One thing I liked was seeing Russian Yuri was landing a jump and I was like "the animation of that free leg could have been better" and then the Russian choreographer yelled at him for having a sloppy free leg.
Agree. R-Yuri needs to fix that swinging free leg.
I think we saw a Jason character today, but with a little splash of Josh in him. He was fun. (And no-one can tell me his coach is not Rohene. NO-ONE.)
Rohene sighting at 16:15 in Ep6
Yurio's braid, like Jason's hair in Tristan.
And I assume that Chris’s butt cleavage was modeled on Emanuel Sandhu.
They left out one of the best reasons: leaving aside the Giant Scoring Plothole from episode 7, it's actually reasonably realistic in its portrayal of the sport. Well, it's more realistic than anything else we've had so far, anyway.
Quite realistic: My feed froze on the triple axel.
The crayon drawing depicting the top 6 in the world: 5 have Asian faces. Hehe, yep. #2 I bet is Patrick Chan, based on his powder blue sweater and white shirt collar.
Less realistic:
Butt stroking is the new face-stroking.
Interestingly, there seem to be no other Japanese top-contenders in this world. How did Yuri get assigned to even one GP event, let alone two?
Junior competitors: "Hey, he did a quad! I think I'm gonna try a quad!" "Me, too! I never did one before, but now I’m gonna try one, right now!"
Love:
When Victor pretends the doggy tissue box is barking.
That there is a movie called The King and the Skater -- with a sequel.
Georgi, the skary hilarious tortured skating villain. With the bird broach and go-go boots.
That the subtitles correctly spelled “All right.”
Yuri, the hyper-sexualized 15-year old, drinking from a juice box, muttering “I'll make you into borscht.”
At the press conference after Yuri professes his love for Victor, all Victor says is “We have to burn that necktie.”
Here is an interesting analysis:

It was impossible not to notice that Yuri wrote English "Yuri on Ice" on the CD and that Yuko and many others are receiving English texts.
