It's their 3rd time hosting the Games in the Modern Era. Beijing needed to prove something. The British certainly did not.
It'll be interesting to see how it will be done in 2016. Methinks Rio won't be so...calm.
It was really neat to see Her Majesty with James Bond. That was cool.

I agree with all of this.
I actually loved the opening ceremony, particularly the love story/decades dance.
I also liked the tearing away of the earth and the rising of the smokestacks.
The whole thing was just so BRITISH... I can't describe it any better. And I guess I'm a bit of an anglophile.
