Is he doing Harry Potter? Or does he just look like Harry to you, lol. -

There have been more? I'll admit most programs with lyrics are so badly done that I just hear the lyrics as "mumble mumble". Or "ROOOOOOOOOOOOXAAAAANNE". -

I don't see it working, but it doesn't matter anyway. Still waiting for the top men to announce their music. Kolyada already has, what about the others? -
Good luck doing International Economics, Tsurskaya! I never even had the chance to shorten your last name into a Russian Lady nickname.

Probably, but she could have gone to an external choreographer and it's their rink. -

Yes, perspective matters.

No one I've seen has called it accurate without discarding human error (although I'll admit I don't know Russian). The "method" of calculating is based off simple high school physics -- and some were pointing out how close the results looked when compared to some ice scope data. That jump being around 65-70 cm (but closer to 70) makes sense to me.

start at 1:50:08 I counted 22, out of 30. Could be 23. It's pointless to do it without 60 fps, though. These will always be overestimates. I'd say that's between 65-70 cm in height, so about as high as the ones in 2017 (which makes sense; the angles are different so it might look larger the way it's filmed here).

Or this, I think:

My only problem with Rika's music is that I don't find it to be a skating song, at least not for singles skating. The choreo does nothing special, either. -

I felt she was uncomfortable with the style, although maybe only because of its being relatively fresh. I also found the choreography to be quite generic. -

I don't know if I have a problem with the "egyptian" hands... They are not being used to make offensive references, IMO, and I would probably not notice them if I didn't already know they were "egyptian" hands. My main problem is that their main reference to a fusion seems to be 1. having some vague references to middle eastern folk dances and culture via some of the hand gesturing, the music, and her make-up/braid 2. not actually making it a fusion with barely any hip hop in it. It just seems like they could have done it with any other music, and called it <insert culture here> "hip hop". It's somewhat undercooked, knowing what they were going for. I'd be fine with it had they not said if it was a hip hop (which will be my stance going into the season; it looks more like "funk"). But it's currently really not what they said they were going for. I like some of the slinkiness she's bringing to her movement currently, and some of the character, though. -
I think people like to draw connections where there might be none... I don't think Jason influenced Yuzuru.

The Shibs won't be back this season, either. I like them, and they are very skilled, but I am fine with it. I didn't always care for their skating.

I always end up reading "satton" as "Satan", and so I went "Well, that's your own fault". -

I, too, wish more had taken part Especially because I want to see more "older" ID and Pairs to learn more about it, because ID as it currently is I find insufferable, and S/H are currently the only ones I like watching in Pairs (although I hope again Boikova/Kozlovskii develop well).
