Broadcast is just starting here. One of the frustrating things is how much will be on tape, and how we'll all see it at different times!

This opening ceremony is all kinds of cool! Amazing! I loved the 9-year-old little girl singer. She is so cute.

I thought the sea on that top screen and the giant LED display on the floor are just incredible.

Why can't they just put up a separate little square for the commercials?

And I have to say, this is my first time watching the opening ceremony in HD and it's freaking awesome! ETA - I agree about the commercials.

They certainly are getting their money's worth from commercials, aren't they, KL? I like your idea.

Just no real words for the opening ceremony. Except perhaps awesome, amazing, wow, inspiring, and many many others. China did a fantastic job with it!

Yeah, HL, I got choked up a bit with that last bit. The 2 singing on the planet and all the kids pics.
