Exactly.

I like the choreography and that's all I hoped from this outing. There's work to be done on it, of course, especially the 'Come What May' part. One thing I've noticed is that with the Tango at the beginning, there's a lot that hinges on the performance. If they miss out on selling the first half, that will make the entire program look a little flat. Their movements have been choreographed to follow the music with precision. Something went wrong in the beginning that threw Tessa off.
They did look far better in practice I think. That third set of twizzles had a larger gap between them then I've seen before. They didn't have that issue in practice. I do love, however, how the twizzles sequence starts at one end of the rink and ends at the other. Actually, the entirety of 'Roxanne' is wonderfully choreographed IMO. They need to find a way to connect it to Come What May better, else it ends up feeling like two different programs.
If they can build this program to its full potential, I think we'll all get that masterpiece we all want. The pieces for it are all there. I think VM knew it didn't go the way they wanted it to as well. They didn't look entirely satisfied in the K&C.
As for the costumes, I would like to see Tessa in red, but then Scott needs to bee in black. The red with the gray against the white ice, makes them look a little peaky. Not a look you want for this program.
They best thing about this FD is that they love it. It's so much easier to focus on something and make it work when you love it so much.
ETA: not getting all the concern about recycled lifts? As far as I can tell, only 1 lift is really the same as before (in the SD). All the others have variations to them. Why are other teams allowed to do exactly the same lifts year after year but if V/M do one that is only half same, it's an outrage?
Same here I read somewhere that some mentioned about the percentage of torso to be covered. As Though it wasn't enough. I don't see it. It's pretty covered up front. The back (curved) open shapes. That's it. It looks stunning her. And works for MR.I like Tessa in red but I don't like the cut of the deckline..I does not do anything for her. I like the lines of the practice costumes.

But what's the requirement? Do they expect people to have seen the movie (the source) to get their program or should the story be obvious with their performance alone. If that's the case I don't think they need to replicate costumes from the movie verbatim. Or how about the shape of the blue dress in a shade of red and embellished? I agree with Barbara not feeling the neckline of the red one.I don't like the blue dress because it has nothing to do with the characters they are playing. Satine in that dress?
Also I hate Scott's outfit for the FD. It seems to have little to do with what the Ewan McGregor character would have worn. I like the the costumes to be authentic to the source. It helps establish the characters and tell the story. I think Tessa's red dress is perfect.
Go head and open a new thread!"Until the end of time" could be a good title for a new thread : ) got the idea from Elina Paasonen's twitter.

A red dress just like the stunning blue will be wonderful. Or even a red dress like any one of her Carmen dresses will be great as well. We are always used to stunning outfits from T and want the tradition to continue.I love a blue dress so much in fason (not sure in my English, in how does it looks by form), but if it will be the same look but red - i think it's fantastic.
But to be honest for me it's not so important which dress is, much more fantastic how do they skate, how fantastic technique they have and how connect it with emotions.
