Has the chance for a Soyuz flyaround been nullified? I heard there was a tiny chance for a flyaround.

Was never on after it was carried out during 134.

Whats the story with the video from the last soyuz flyaround...never heard anymore after a no show.
 

The video and photos have been released, And I believe they called it a 'flyabout' rather than 'flyaround'.

Evening cryo config read up a bit ago.  FD2 winding down. 

Flowers arrived early (yesterday for ascent)! :) What a great tradition.  PAO read a note from the families that have sent the flowers for so long (I missed what mission this started on, but it's been a long time).

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -- Douglas Adams

I'm pretty sure they started sending them with STS-26.

PAO highlighting the console positions, noting names (current and historic) and what the position does. INCO a bit ago.  Here's FAO:

It will be coming up any moment apparently

edit to add: PAO indicates they are having similar gremlins on the ground as in orbit, and they are trying to locate the video. They will (hopefully) have it in a few minutes
