CPom Golden Skate interview at Budapest Trophy:

Christina and Anthony congratulations on winning the Challenger here in Budapest. how did this competition go for you?

C: it went well. we skated pretty clean, but there's a lot that we want to do better. we've been skating a lot better at home, we had more attack and more speed. so this week felt a little bit tired, but overall we're happy about how it went

A: like Christina said, we've done a lot better at home, and we have a really good training block coming now before NHK to refine and work on details and push the program even more

you have the late Grand Prix - was that why you decided to do a 2nd Challenger in order to prepare?

C: yeah, we wanted to get out early. we get a lot of feedback from these competitions, so we have time now to go home and to adjust whatever we need to adjust and train hard and be ready for NHK

A: every competition we learn something new, so it's to get as much as possible before the Grand Prix, even during the Grand Prix. it's always a learning experience. so we love competitions like this to grow and learn

you have 2 Grand Prix in Asia, that's a bit unusual. are you going to stay in Asia for the whole 3 weeks?

C: no, we're going home- we talked about staying in Asia, but we wanted it to feel like 2 separate competitions, and staying there would feel like one big trip so we're going home for a week to reset and then we're coming to China

A: Scott really pushed for the two separate weeks - come home, regroup, get some laundry done, get a little bit of work done on the programs, and come back stronger, so we're following the advice of our coaches, and we agree that this is the best option for us, and we're looking forward to the challenge

do you have any specific goals going into the Grand Prix?

C: we want to skate really strong programs, and we want to try and make the Final (laughs)

yeah, i mean with your good result at Worlds this is the next goal

A: winning a medal would be awesome - we've been 4th now for 5 straight Grand Prix, so breaking into that podium would be really special, and if our good performances lead us to more medals and make the Final, we'd be really happy with that

want to talk a little more about your free dance to Carmen - let's start with the outfits. because they are not really usual - with Carmen everyone expects this red dress, and you chose yellow - how come?

C: we wanted to bring a freshness and something new to the program. and red was done a lot, and this has been like - everyone around us, US Figure Skating wanted me to look a little different. and when we brought the idea to Mathieu, our costume designer, he automatically thought of gold, and that's kind of the only thing he saw. he was really open with all the changes, but he saw gold. and we really trust him, and whatever he chooses usually turns out great, yeah, that's why i'm in gold, and he's a soldier

A: this concept has been done quite a bit, and we wanted to still keep the traditional feel to it, it is a classic, we wanted to keep the classic, but add our own twist to it. with the costumes, with the structure of the music. everything, so we just wanted to play around with it and see what we could come up with. we wanted to skate to this for years, and having this now come to life it's pretty special

i remember you said at Nebelhorn yeah you wanted to do this for years. why do you think now was the right moment?

C: we got back from Worlds, and Madi was like so what are we thinking for next year? and we were both like - nothing other than Carmen, like that's all we wanted

A: from the day after Worlds i just knew, and i think Christina had the same train of thought. we knew that it was time, it was time to push it and do Carmen. it took a lot of convincing

perfect, thank you so much, congratulations and see you at the Grand Prix

unfortunately i've climbed aboard the 'we have to fire sully' train. it took me a long time and i hate being here but. if they want to actually do something with this season and aren't just doing a sneaky tank to try and get a good pick at the draft, it has to be done. they are no longer listening to him, not necessarily because they don't like him anymore, but because he's been saying the same stuff for almost a decade now and they know what he's going to say.

sometimes it really is as simple as a fresh voice and a jolt of change as a wake-up call.

Me, realizing there’s no way I’m going to finish this Pharma meta tonight:

I’m at 3k words and counting, and I still haven’t collected all the canon screenshots I need to fortify my arguments.

Regardless of what JRO or anyone else in the fandom might say, I have determined that Pharma is Just That Deep. The more I read and write, the more I discover and the more I speculate.

Unfortunately, this means you all have to wait at least another day for this blend of analysis, speculation, and personal notes.

May all my excitement and suffering be worth it when I finally release this post into the wild.
