The original from season 1 is still the best, but this one is acceptable.

Yes, sometimes you have to let go of your historical knowledge to enjoy something for what it is. The first season of The Tudors almost killed me, but once I just acknowledged it as a bonkers romp through Tudor history I came to enjoy it.

I think Ron Howard did a fantastic job in creating a sense of danger and concern for a story where you already know the ending. That's an incredible skill. It's one of those film I will happily watch whenever I see it pop up as an option on TV. I was shocked and surprised when someone told me it...

I ended up having it on one screen while I worked in the other - that way I could pause to look at the videos. Worked well. Also answered my quetions as to whether the panel can only replay in real time. I'm skeptical some of the calls that are being made can truly be seen without benefit of...

Ah, this explains why I couldn't find part 2 when I went looking for it today. Wanted something to listen to while on the exercise bike. If I'm doing something suitably mindless I'll listen at work tomorrow instead.

Fear and Gibson had an exhibition program which was a waltz a few years ago. Not the same as a competition program obviously but it was nice and they handled it just fine. They also would have had to pass all their compulsory dances under the UK system, and that includes a number of waltzes...

I actually listened to this latest episode twice. Thanks for linking to the document with the Ice Dance levels as I had wanted to review that before the big events. Also thanks for mentioning the (in my opinion) misplaced nostalgia for the 6.0 system. People seem to have forgotten the weird...

No, not just you. I also heard that on The Runthrough (this judging controversy is driving me to listen to multiple podcasts and not have my attention wander) and was surprised. Good teams were always going to miss out on GP Final and the results don't always go the way we expect at the start of...

I think it's even stranger if you are outside the US and rarely see Ma's skating. I read on here about how he does these awesome programs but on the rare occasions he skates in something available to view outside the US I don't see anything in them at all, and whilst in the past I've been able...

Thanks for explaining how Piper Gilles' twizzles ended up being called Base. I went from thinking I had a reasonable (if potentially a little out-dated) grasp of the levels to being mystified, but now I at least see where it came from.

I am appalled. Having talent should never be considered as an excuse for poor (and in this case illegal) behaviour. Yet another example of the how much sporting prowess is valued in Australia. This is not an isolated example of sports people being treated favourably in comparison to others, and...

Why did you have to remind me of that? The memory is going to make me twitchy for the rest of the evening.

I'm going from memory, but I don't think Weaver and Poje were weak at compulsories, and doubt they'd have had the success they did had that been a problem. In comparison to your Virtue and Moirs who were very good at patterns maybe they would suffer in comparison but that would be the extent of...

I suspect without the botched lift Gilles/Poirier would have won easily. I'll be surprised if they make the same error again. I think it's too early to write off any top teams based on a single comp. There's still plenty of time for them to catch up to those who started their comptition...

I feel like if you have to explain the program/costuming that much to those wwatching then maybe it's not working as intended.
