I know. It’s very creepy. They were there earlier to raise the Chinese flag, too.

And all those who don't think there's a message here please join hands and sing Kumbaya while signing "harmony" with the NBC booth guys...

It was cool, but I’m still partial to the archer in Barcelona.

Gosh! So stirring with that background music and the finale.

Can anyone top this? The poor country that has to follow! Great Britian? They must be in a dither right now!

“It was cool, but I’m still partial to the archer in Barcelona.”

My thoughts exactly.

That rocked.

"This is incredible"

This is the largest fireworks display in history.

China is trying to make a point and they are doing it.

We are as good or better than anyone.

Nice to see that NBC is still using the old Adventures of Brisco COunty Jr theme for the Olympics....

That was a great show. Blasted FOX.

We already know it will be so very disappointing...not that we’ll watch...
