And Peacock is live.

 

[jamesy]

Peacock couldn’t have waited for this Eye of the Tiger cover to be done before starting?

 

[Spun Silver]

I thought it was 10 ET? Per the original schedule thread.

 

[Matryeshka]

Peacock scared the crap out of me! I was dozing off with my doggie, and then all of a sudden the strangest version of Eye of the Tiger comes on--I think it tried to incorporate itself into the dream I was almost having. I SCREAMED and Gatsby yelped and now he's left me to go under the bed. Chewy is snoozing belly up, oblivious to it all.

I blame Eye of the Tiger.

 

[Aceon6]

I thought it was 10 ET? Per the original schedule thread.

Broadcast is 10, starting with group 2. Group 1 should begin around 9:20 on “the bird”

 

[Karen-W]

I thought it was 10 ET? Per the original schedule thread.

NBCSN starts at 10ET, so expect to miss the first flight if watching on that instead of the Peacock stream.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Starts about 8:19 CT on Peacock. NBC must be chacking the first group.

 

[gkelly]

The cardboard audience does not stand for the national anthem.

 

[Tinami Amori]

Here is a Russian link to watch, if anyone is having problems with their feed. It should not be geolocked, i can watch it from USA (don't know about Canada or Europe or Asia). There is no commentary and it re-streaming of Peacock.

The cardboard audience does not stand for the national anthem.

Playing the anthem for a couple thousand folks on Peacock seems a bit strange.

 

[Matryeshka]

I like this existential choice the camera has made to show the ice as a metaphor for things and juxtaposition for stuff while introducing the names of the judges (ironically of course).

Or maybe the camera dude is just drunk. Take your pick.

 

[flyingsit]

Is this Glenn’s third season using this SP?

 

[once_upon]

Cardboard audience has polite applause and is just as interested in judges introductions as live audiences

 

[tony]

Is this Glenn’s third season using this SP?

No, but we got Gravity back to back after she switched it from an SP to an LP

 

[floridaice]

Cardboard audience has polite applause and is just as interested in judges introductions as live audiences

The sound person should remedy that with some recorded applause -- or booing, whichever is needed.

 

[Matryeshka]

Finley Hawk and Violeta Ushakova sound like the protagonist and her mysterious maybe-evil maybe-good mentor in a YA fantasy series.

 

[beckab81]

Since it's a figure skating competition, shouldn't they be playing Kolyada's long version of let's get loud?

 

[Aerobicidal]

The announcer did a decent job pronouncing Violeta Ushakova and Rena Ikenishi.

Ted Barton would say "Viola Usova" and "Reno Knish."

 

[pinky166]

Let’s see how long I last before falling asleep!

 

[pinky166]

Radionova called and wants her 1990s Jlo music back!

 

[insideedgeua]

Is this starting late on NBCSN?

 

[pinky166]

Violeta is giving me Polina Edmunds vibes. And those gloves are straight out of Russia!

 

[Aerobicidal]

Is "Vengeance Portals" from a soundtrack of a science fiction film interpretation of Tonya and the whack?

 

[annie720]

Is this starting late on NBCSN?

Should be on the next hour.

 

[alchemy void]

Ushakova is very first/second group at Euros

 

[Rukia]

Whew Ushakova was like sideways in the air for that first jump, but then her combo was lovely

 

[Karen-W]

The cardboard audience does not stand for the national anthem.

disloyal patriots!

They've done a better job with the cutouts this competition than SA - less of the distracting white around the edges of most of them.

 

[rfisher]

No evil cackling. Fail.
