The quotes in Bev's article appear to be from the teleconference this week. This news roundup from last Tuesday has some extra quotes. http://www.twofortheice.com/news-for-tuesday-march-17/

You have several times in the past. I would never go into the G/P thread to praise P/I while criticizing them, so I find your pattern of doing so here a bit odd. You pretended (or misremembered) that the discussion where people disagreed with you strongly was mostly about P/I and their...

I should have been more clear, I was referring to the career, not within a season. Fantastic and successful first two seasons together. Terribly inconsistent second senior season when they were hampered by injury - even then parts of their skating improved, even though the whole was a mess...

Unfortunately, add me to the list of those underwhelmed by the FD. I love how charming it is, and I think there's definitely something workable there, but I worry that it's too open for a team of their capabilities, especially when, as lavenderblue pointed out, close skating is one of their...

Thank you! I'm quite familiar with the rule book (it's the rhythms themselves where I can get mixed up), so I'll share what I do know about the situation. If music used in the program is not in accordance with the allowed rhythms (accents and such, like you were describing), a deduction should...

My pleasure! I also managed to record part of their warmup, unfortunately not the whole thing. (Why are warmups never archived? Not cool.) http://youtu.be/qPy9Ql3pvkM And thanks again for the clarification re: music. If you have anything further to add about the characteristics of the...

Looks like a great program! That lift will be incredible once they smooth it out. The music is out of sync on all the stream videos - I'll be fixing the sound as best I can and posting them on youtube. Here's P/I http://youtu.be/w-6VKN-376c

Finally!! Thanks for informing us lavenderblue. That sounds like an absolutely fabulous choice for them. Something they can use all their strengths, but enough of a new direction to show some real growth too. How exciting! And thank you once again because that is exactly what I was trying...

Excellent response to such a dumb comment. And I agree about Paul's posture. It's not bad, but it doesn't look natural IMO. While Mitch is not as natural as projecting at Alex, I agree with skatingfan04 that to suggest that his expression is nonexistent is silly...

You're welcome, lauravvv and skatingfan04! It's really impressive how much content there is for a gala program. I wish more teams did difficult dance programs like these. I's why many of us are fans of the sport in the first place, we want to see more! Looks like some people had trouble with...

Loved their ALS challenge. One of the best ones I've seen for keeping the focus on the disease. And cute, obviously! Man, this is turning out to be an incredibly long off season! It's the middle of August, and still no FD news, still no Senior B assignment confirmation... feels like we're in...

Thanks so much for your pictures, Danielle, and skatingfan04 for linking them. A gloriously in-depth interview/article! http://www.twofortheice.com/lifted-by-success-paul-and-islam-hold-to-foundations/ I just love how much these two care about things like using dance holds and skating as one...

Agree with this so much. Blues would push them to perform more confidently, while still relying on their connection that focuses on each other more than the crowd, but it would also showcase off all of skating/dancing skills they already have beautifully. And as has been discussed, they...

I was lucky enough to see this new number, too, and I also second everything that skatingfan04 said. Very much looking forward to your photos, Daniskates93, thank you!! It was steamy but classy, mature yet adorable... just perfection. I'm laughing that we just had a conversation here about...

I agree with many things you just said, Emdee. K&C deserve much credit for the leaps and bounds by which P/I have improved over the last two seasons, not the least of which is consistency. They had three competitions this season in which there was no major mistake in either segment, and I'm...
