Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir, #46 : Until the End of Time

[bbkenn]

I totally am in love with the ending.

Me too. Tessa's arms as they are so happy together, the way they speed up and then as she practically falls, but doesn't and appears so lifeless at the end...tears!!!

There's an article (and some videos!) about Tessa and Scott on TSN:

I'm not sure if the videos are geo-blocked or not (if so, hopefully someone uploads it on YT). They talked about their pre-skate hug and on passing the torch onto their fellow Canadian teammates Shane and Carolane. It always makes me smile seeing so many skaters looking up to Tessa and Scott!

Even though they didn’t change the choreography of the ending I feel like it was somehow much more powerfully executed here. I didn’t like the final position before and felt like the music they used for the ending was a missed opportunity, but this time around I feel like they delivered it with a lot of emotional impact and really made me believe in Satine’s death. Impressive. Can’t wait to see them in competition tomorrow!

The hug one is cute.

In the "Perfection" video that lift at 0:20 it's not in either the SD or FD. It looks almost like the Carmen, right?

I thought that was the lift that was going to be in the SD, but I guess they changed their mind?

They probably got told to can it after HPC. Usually when they reuse lifts it's because their original idea didn't work out.

Everything is blocked here for me .. even when I go directly to YouTube it has their names but different skater and it says not playable. I don’t get what’s going on with YouTube this year but it’s frustrating. I’m in Canada too.

I’ve had trouble on my iPhone and iPad but on a desk top computer it worked.

Good eye! It is similar but different! Oooh I love it and maybe they are saving it for if something doesn't work....

I like it too. I think it might be the rumored SD lift some thought they would go back to. I like the current one too though. Maybe we'll see it in an EX.

 

[supergirl573]

I like that lift! They could replace it with the rotational lift in the free dance so people could stop complaining about that.

Everything about this article is adorable. LOL at Javi playing tricks on Brian with Patrice.

That FD practice looks amazing!! Please, pretty please, Tessa - keep this blue dress for the competition as well. Or let it be a red version of this blue dress, it looks so great on you. The same for Scott - when he wears a black outfit, the whole free dance looks more intense, serious and perfect for me. (I hope that makes sense )

PS: Probably I am the only one but I always look at other teams and the way they look at the top team performing during practice... Can't help it

 

[Maddie Sparks]

Seems to me the blue dress and the all black ensemble for Scott are their "official" practice outfits. I like them as well, however, we saw the designer making alterations to the red dress over the past week on Instagram, so it appears she will probably be wearing that for the actual performance.

TBH, I just want them to skate and execute this program the way they've practiced and envisioned.

 

[Emdee]

Their FD practice was amazing...so intense and sharp. I really felt each mood of the FD.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Blue dress is nice, but it really doesn't evoke Moulin Rouge or Satine.

 

[sap5]

Just from the practice vid, the FD ending works better this time than it did at ACI. Like Maddie Sparks said, I too hope they are able to perform it the way they have envisioned.

Scott's SD costume is growing on me. I think the shorter hair gives it a more streamlined look. Tessa's dress though? I'm convinced there's another dress lurking for later on in th season. Don't get me wrong, she rocks it but the prints throw me off.

 

[puglover]

Great run through of the short dance. Perhaps not as flat out as yesterday but then - today is competition day. No sense leaving the best on the practice ice. No twizzle issues but nobody was along the boards there this time. Main impression - they seem very happy. Tessa, in particular, seemed to be smiling and animated. I am so glad they returned!!

 

[Rafter]

Scott's in a new costume I think.

Virtue/Moir's SD run through this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CTbbyareg

 

[Isabelle.G]

Scott's in a new costume I think.

Yep, it seems to be a new one. The old one was more grey/blue, I think. Also, Tessa's ponytail is shorter, at least in the run through.

 

[Shayii]

He's in a black top now and his bling is gold so it stands out more.

 

[Anyasnake]

Yep, it seems to be a new one. The old one was more grey/blue, I think. Also, Tessa's ponytail is shorter, at least in the run through.

It's her hair I think not the extension.

 

[chantilly]

Looking good.
Twizzles need to have a bit more attack, but like the shape of the programme.
Think the expression which feels a bit toned down from ACI is right.
To me this programme is a cut above most of what I've seen. Though I do like H and D.
Haven't seen the shibs yet.
Love Scott's new costume.

 

[Goody2shoes]

Awesome run through...yeah, this time it's more sparkly embellishments (for both of them). I like how they matched this time. Pretty sure at Olympics, knowing Tessa, she might put on a different but still similar dress style for SD.

Waiting to watch full MR in competition. Read somewhere they tweaked music slightly? Can't say since practice vid i (finally) got to watch was silent.

 

[Sonata]

I'm really hoping there's another costume change for the SD in the works. The fact that they are together in very dark colours, her hair being dark plus the print to me takes away from the program. There is too much dark on dark on dark in what is supposed to be a fun program. Hope they go to another costume designer for this.

 

[DFJ]

V/M...wow.
