Happy to say I watched it in HD Was amazing although it went on for ages... Don't think I will watch much of the actual events though.

The scroll of the screen on the floor was great although it looked really broken towards the end.

It makes me wonder what the Japanese could do with their ceremonies...

It was a visual orgy. Specially liked the cubes that made waves and then it turned out to be people inside of them, I was like zomgwtfhax!

what really impressed me is the rings of the tai chi masters when they did all those flips and running, how they still reformed into those perfect circles.

They also replaced the 4 year old that was originally going to sing with a 6 year old because she was "cuter".

Not to mention the clearly underage children representing China in Womens Gymnastics.
