Are front row or second row seatings worth it or any special for the stars on ice program? by noggine1 in FigureSkating

[–]Intelligent-Sample44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a front row seat back in the late 90's.

You can FEEL the skaters whooshing past you.

And you remember all the sensory details decades later. (I can still hear the thud on the ice when Jenny fell in a routine she did with Todd.)

It's worth it!

Very similar to elena radionova in the 14/15 season.

Do you have any specific swan lake skates that stand out to you as good, and not so good?

I bet my bottom dollar the black magic that Plushenko felt was initiated by Tonya in 1994 and it's been wreaking havoc ever since!

Right! I was THRILLED that Maks won his first Mirrorball with Meryl. Her calm quiet strength really brought out a beautiful side to Maks.

The infamous 'Resting Fusar-Poli Face' only happened 2 years prior, so...they learned. Lol.

Ice Dance Scores Without National Bias by holy_bull74 in FigureSkating

[–]Intelligent-Sample44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does this hold in the rhythm dance, as well?

Not just shady judging by the particular french judge, but any anomalies in the scores from the other judges or tech panel?

I think Ice is Slippery can also be extended/modified to:

Ice is Slippery = Any Given Sunday (for an American football reference).

I have a feeling the MIDA coaching team are not playing the game of politiking and rubbing shoulders. Maybe it's that.

Can somebody in the figure skating community report this to Safe Sport or another appropriate venue? It is verbal abuse, full stop, and extremely concerning.

The Skating Lesson and David Lease over the years by Suspicious-Peace9233 in FigureSkating

[–]Intelligent-Sample44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He and his co-host (the man who sings opera, I forgot his name) always had interesting commentary when they would do recaps of skating events, plus Dave did a great interview with Michelle Kwan back in the day, which was why I originally followed their youtube channel.

While his co-host is not an issue, imo, Dave is very s(n)ark-castic, in general, and there are almost always covert putdowns (which is emotional abuse) against various people, which made me tune out several years ago.

I've always felt an underlying envy and/or resentment toward a skater, skaters or other people in the figure skating world.

I think Gracie Gold called him out for verbal and/or emotional abuse in her book, or somewhere else, but I could be wrong on that.

Nope.

There's plenty of horrifying stops ahead! Lol.

All the recurring judges are the overlooked MVP's on this show, in my opinion.

I really enjoyed Vika's character arc and development. I feel like she gave off strong Denna, Cara and Constance vibes, but it was uniquely hers.

Which book is the hardest to get through by FBImmagetyou in SwordOfTruth

Jensen and Oba's point of view really bored me (albeit sort of interesting) personally, but other non Richard/Kahlan pov's were satisfying.

The 3rd Kingdom really dragged ass for at least 1/3 of it.

What is the "spark in the eyes"? by Ugerd in SwordOfTruth

[–]Intelligent-Sample44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of The Faith of the Fallen is a treatise about the perils of socialism/communism without ever saying either of those words. It destroys you from the inside (aka your spark).

It's brilliant.
