I think Chock/Bates are ones to watch this year love both programmes!

S/K's FD is an insult to our collective intelligence, no fault of their own it's just Zhulin's tactlessness per usual. How can you skate to programme that is so empty and repetitive and still score so ridiculously high?
"Our" collective intelligence? S&Ks FD is my second favorite FD this season out of the three actually watchable FDs this season.
Replace S&K with Ponomarenko and partner, and Zhulin with Shpiland. If they were from like, Germany, that FD would struggle to break 100, and no one would be pretending that program was any good.
I agree with your first sentence - no one can speek for other people like that. I even like S/K's FD, although it's definitely not one of my favorites."Our" collective intelligence? S&Ks FD is my second favorite FD this season out of the three actually watchable FDs this season.

I also don't find Carreira/Ponomarenko's all that great, but, even in ice dancing, skills (skating skills, elements etc.) count for something, so it's not all about the program itself and whether you personally like it.
From my past experience working with the guys, I realized a very important thing: if Katsalapov skates very emotionally, as he likes and can, sometimes this leads to unpredictable consequences in competitions. That’s why, from the very beginning I was looking for such a music for the free program in which Nikita wouldn’t “jump out of his pants” and wouldn’t rush.
I think Zhulin looked at 24 classic Montreal Mush programs, told himself this is what people like in Montreal, and choreographed the program for the audience at Worlds.
I don't see much of any resemblance between Z/K's free programs and Gadbois.I think Zhulin looked at 24 classic Montreal Mush programs, told himself this is what people like in Montreal, and choreographed the program for the audience at Worlds.

if a program that would be viewed as thirty seconds to a minute of good trashy fun but that no one would consider a medal contender if some random OES team was skating it and skating to an Instagram poet’s poor man’s bukowski impression is pushing the sport forward...
I wish Zhulin would do something more interesting for S/K too but it’s irritating to see increasingly hysterical comments by one poster that are more motivated by insecurity over P/C than a sincere interest in S/K and what they are doing.

Who is the one poster you keep referring to?I wish Zhulin would do something more interesting for S/K too but it’s irritating to see increasingly hysterical comments by one poster that are more motivated by insecurity over P/C than a sincere interest in S/K and what they are doing.
If you're so irritated by Bigbird's comments you can simply put her/him on ignore. This is what the function is for.
By the way, I see the Uber Matrix are working again!
Sexy CrossoversEdit: Literally, people have been complaining about Zhulin's choreography since he coached Navka. And how can anyone forget the WTF Sexy Zombies Long Program he made for the Zhangs?

That would be all kind of awesome. My own matrix would explodeYou are all going to regret encouraging Zhulin to indulge himself, next season he should have S/K tell the story of his own fateful love triangle, with Nikita as himself and Victoria as both Usova and Pasha.
Or they can just skate to Swan Lake and Norma in the free dance and invite Ruslan and Elena to sit with them in K&CYou are all going to regret encouraging Zhulin to indulge himself, next season he should have S/K tell the story of his own fateful love triangle, with Nikita as himself and Victoria as both Usova and Pasha.
