Aha! Now *this* is Rodney skating.

Hoo-rah, someone posted the performance that, well, it is Rodney skating (in Out Of Bounds, in case that isn't clear):

This. This is Rodney McKay, skating champion, right down to the slight chunkiness.

wildernessguru and I went out to dinner tonight (oops, we overslept and missed bowling) and I talked out John's summer training with him. Illuminating.

Oh, heck yeah. Especially in those slightly shiny pants. *eyes a-gleam*

Of course, these are two totally different types of programs. John's-- er, Lysacek's there is a competitive program where he's giving it all he's got, while Rodney's-- er, I mean, Bowman's is a lazy ice show, all about the audience.

On the other hand, Rodney -- I mean, Bowman -- was always about the audience.

And such nice camera angles. *smiles dreamily*

Huh, that's what I thought, too, though I thought maybe I was wrong - I know next to nothing about figure skating after all. But the way you described young genius skater Rodney McKay, and the way Bowman is flirting with both his audience and the camera, it really did seem like a very neat fit.
