I hated, HATED the Opening Ceremonies. I was underwhelmed by the whole thing, and some parts just confused me (tap dancing grunge rockers + fall foliage??).
I also thought the NBC commentators were off their game. Was it neccesarry to make fun of the one team's bright pants (which I thought were awesome)? And the Russian major in me cringed every time they said "the former Soviet Union." I think we've outgrown that phrase - please call it Russia/Russian Federation, or shall we call the United States "the former British Colony?"
