P/I have pulled out of NHK. :( http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat00028343.htm No word as of yet as to what's going on.

The FD was stunning. There are still several things about the program that bother me, but I'm coming around to the overall idea. My main complaint was always that the footwork sequences are too open, and evidently the judges thought so as well (although why they got higher levels for the same...

Oh yeah, there was definitely a twizzle problem. It dropped them from L4 to L3. It wasn't nearly significant enough to explain the score, though. For example, even with the lost twizzle level, their technical base value was almost identical to Guingard/Fabbri's (I f I recall correctly, the...

Well, that happened. :confused: What a beautiful skate. I don't think I've ever seen them look more confident. This program really brings out the best in them. They looked so thrilled at the end, which made it twice as heartbreaking when that stupid, stupid score flashed across the screen...

It's that time of year again! Skate Canada is going to be streaming all practices starting tomorrow morning. Who's excited?

So glad to hear that, tonkatwofeather.:) I can't say I'm disappointed, exactly. The FD is beautiful in the way that shows P/I off at their best. It highlights their elegance, their beautiful flow and lightness, and everything lovely about their skating. There's nothing wrong with it. (In...

Congrats to them for the silver medals! :D As for the FD, meh. I didn't hate it, didn't love it. It's cookie cutter, but unoffensive. I have absolutely no confidence in D/L as choreographers, and haven't likes a single program of their this season, so in all honesty I thought this would be...

I'm also confused. I've always found Alex's ballet styling to be exquisite, and especially so in this program. (That being said, I'm hardly a prima ballerina, so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt. I did study ballet and jazz for ten years myself, so I like to think I'm not a...

I already loved the program (I'm a huge classical ballet fan, and I think P/I bring it to the ice in splendid fashion), so I was pleased to see the progress. There's still much refinement needed, of course, but they already looked more solid than they did in August. It's a complex program, and...

Here's a great interview from Nebelhorn: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x37lsgy_alexandra-paul-mitchell-islam-interview-nebelhorn-2015_sport Also, there is a fantastic article from Two for the Ice about their gorgeous SD...

We have a FD music announcement! (Finally!) http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2015/08/20/144282388 Being a long-time lover of Yentil, I'm inclined to be excited about this. I guess we'll see at Nebelhorn.

Yeah, the skirt's too fluffy. This program absolutely demands a tutu, but I think Alex should go with one that's shorter and not quite as full. It was distracting from her leg line rather than enhancing it. Mitch needs something more fitted than the baggy shirt and trousers that he was...

I haven't had a chance to rewatch yet, but on first viewing...gorgeous :D. It's a work in progress, for sure, but wow is that going to be stunning once all of the kinks are ironed out. It looks like a ballet. They've succeeded in bringing a difficult genre to the ice and making it look...

P/I are registered to skate the SD and FD at the Quebec Summer Championships the first week of August! http://www.patinage.qc.ca/uploads/Competition%202015-2016/CQE/Liste_Part_CQE2015_juin19_11h00.pdf It won't be long until we see their new programs!

Skate Canada & NHK for P/I! :40beers: http://isuprod.blob.core.windows.net/media/207786/gp_dance.pdf They've also stated that they'll be doing either Thornhill, the Quebec Summer Championships, or both in this lovely article...
