I know Padi & Yankee posted the goings on as it happened live :-(, but I thought I would create a thread for those of us in the U.S. who are having to see them on tape delay.

Hope somebody is out there to watch them with me. :-)

Cute kid in the paper boat. The paper boat is a traditional Greek children's toy.

Wow. That was beautiful and breathtaking.

The sculpture pieces and Cubeman and the whole symbolism. Really great job.

I thought the statue breaking into pieces and the projections were pretty amazing. Enjoying everything except the commercial interruptions.

Wow the sculpture people are great. And Eros floating over the whole thing is too. I'm enjoying this interesting mix of modern and ancient.

So far this is the best opening ceremony I've seen in a long time. Very artistic, very cultural, very modern and very very beautiful.

I agree that this is best opening ceremony in quite some time. What a beautiful and interesting opening. I couldn't take my eyes of it. I agree that the commercial interuptions break the spell.
