Nooo, the exhibitions have almost no commentary! Especially anything where you see fancy lighting because that'll be a pro performance.

For dls your best bet is this forum: http://www.fsvids.net/forums/index.php? but I don't know what it's like getting membership these days. Also a lot of the links aren't working right now - we're so far from the last olympics that interest is probably minimal. If there's any pairs programs that you really want, or want in better quality, I have a pretty good collection for most of the people I linked to above - especially Sale & Pelletier, Gordeeva & Grinkov, and Berezhnaya & Sikharuldize. Plus I have a lot of the Stars on Ice group numbers. So I think I can upload those if need be.

I did take a pass to see if I could find some links that actually worked - although some stuff just downloaded automatically from mediafire without giving me a link, which was unexpected! (Let's pretend I'm not spreading these links around >.>)

But this looks amazing, I think it's Brasseur & Eisler and I have never even seen it: http://www.mediafire.com/?lzhtwdmtjg2

Then these Shen and Zhao videos promised no commentary! But I know nothing about the programs

Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze. . . I'm a little in love with Elena:

http://www.mediafire.com/?0wrfmd3yyz0 I think this is their gold medal winning long program
http://www.mediafire.com/?d4pow4uymtt can't remember what this is but it's from Stars on Ice so there shouldn't be commentary

Gordeeva and Grinkov:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bdhv12xjzmw if this is the performance I think it is, it's ridiculously adorable. . . I'm in love with Katia too
http://www.mediafire.com/?gdtynnzzztw I think this is to Gershwin songs? I can't remember

Ina and Zimmerman:

Ugh, I could not find Sale and Pelletier videos that worked. But I have loads. . . in ipod format if nothing else.

Also please love Jeffrey Buttle with me even though he's not pairs! He's super cute!

OMG. If I'd known you knew so much about figure skating, I would've been picking your brain A LOT SOONER. And here I thought I was giving you cool youtube links you'd never seen!

*downloadssss*

I'm glad to hear about the exhibitions. XD I'm especially excited for the gold medal performances since those are pretty much guaranteed to be amazing.

Hahaha oh my god, three years ago, figure skating was my Johnnys. My ipod is still half JE, half figure skating. And pairs is my favorite! And I never get to talk about it with anyone and my brain is stuffed full of figure skating knowledge! Who's good at which moves, who's married to whom, what events are good, which were the best years for particular skaters. . .

S&P's gold, Love Story, is definitely a stand-out program, as is S&Z's Turandot - those are both the "performance of a lifetime" type of thing, total perfection in the technical stuff but also the expression and performance. But if you want "guaranteed to be amazing" it's gotta be Gordeeva and Grinkov! There's always a feeling of, like, comfort when I watch them, because they're perfect. Occasionally there's a bobble, but they're always perfectly in unison, Katia always has the perfect form, their gestures, their choreography is beautiful. . . you can just watch it and know that everything that you're seeing is exactly as it should be.

Also I just realized Triple is Korean! So sneaky!

Oh, also speaking of figure skating and johnnys.

You have to start somewhere! *no guilt*

XDD If you ever find yourself having an opinion about any of the skaters or programs or anything that you want to share, please let me know! I will be happy to discuss it with you. :D

Also it seems I will be watching Triple before Bara no nai Hanaya because each episode is one dl link as opposed to 8 parts. O.o

*hunts google* How about four parts?

Scroll down, that is, for MU.

Are those subbed, though? I generally prefer hardsubs cos I like being able to watch things in quicktime rather than VLC.

If I motivate myself to get the first couple episodes I should be able to motivate myself to get the rest. . . and I'm actually not dling a lot of stuff just now (except for the skating) so it might not be too much of a pain.

Also I haven't gotten around to posting this at je_macros yet but I need to share it with someone:

BaraHana is hardsubbed. (Triple isn't, though. Unless you want to go streaming.)

WHAT THE HELL IS SAKAMOTO WEARING? XD

Yeah, I got the softsubs for Triple already. (I always worry that MU will tell me I hit my limit even though all I want is a tiny sub file so I got them all beforehand.) It just looked like the 4-part Barahana might not have had subs because I didn't see it mentioned on the site.

That scarf ruins so much of the Voyager promotional materials for me. XD Although it is hilarious. Also, strangely enough just before I got your comment I was reading porn by someone with a scarf fetish, so he kept having everyone wear silk scarves on their heads? Not having such a fetish, it kind of really hampered my enjoyment.

Did you check the MU links? If they say Love Song (the fansub group) you're good to go.

I always worry that MU will tell me I hit my limit even though all I want is a tiny sub file so I got them all beforehand.

AUGHHH that used to happen to me all the time when I had like, 20mb of a split file left. The very last part, out of my reach. *shakes fist*

For future reference, if you only need the subs, most groups post to d-addicts or a personal blog where you can get them without needing MU.

Not having such a fetish, it kind of really hampered my enjoyment.

XD XD I once saw a drama where the writer obviously had a foot fetish. Everyone was always walking around barefoot or taking off their shoes or touching each other's feet/ankles. It got kind of entertaining after awhile. Like a personal war against socks.
