Watching it now. Pretty darn amazing...though sometimes I think the Asians are a little obsessive with regards to precision (bonsai, neos, etc...) it's really been a riveting show though - best and most fascinating I've seen, hands down!
I'm also curious to hear other's thoughts!

I'm not watching. I can't get past the fact that it's not live.

haha!!! well live or not, it did happen afterall. and i hafta say that it's probably be the only grand thing well really get to see. like how often in a lifetime to you get to see a couple thousand people performing per section of the show? not to mention how in sync there were all

I'm quite proud of the USA team's choice in selecting Lopez Lomong to be the flag-bearer.

Back in my college running days I got to see him run at a meet. The guy has some serious wheels.

The CBC broadcasted it live. You'd probably need a satilite to get it in California. They are very good with sports broadcasting - almost 24 hrs a day during Olympics!
The Opening Ceremonies were very good, I agree!
I check the link, It feels good to see there are peoples who would do the right thing.
I agree that the ceremony is awesome. I also think that the chinese citizens can be proud of their collective achievement.
One interesting feature is the part with all the children photos of the world on the screen, as if the message is " the children are the future" lets us build a harmonious and hopefilled environment for humanity.
China can show the potential to do everything right as per the message it projects at the show. (or it could be just another Madison Avenue advertising gloss full of emtiness in practice) Of course, it can chose to or not to influence the events in Darfur to alleviate the suffering of the african natives.
There is also a fascinated program about China last week on TV, showing its influence (good & bad) all over the world (South America, Africa, Asia etc..& etc..)
