I did and wow they were impressive, although i did almost snooze when the teams were coming out, the end was really cool.

I did too. It was indeed awesome. Loved the fireworks!

And yeah the team ceremony was a little bit boring after a while :P Although the Belgium commentators tried to make it interesting. Like telling stories that this country hadn't won any medals yet. *Camera zooms in on a pretty lady from the team*. "But they have other qualities".

I missed them. I'm kinda bummed as I haven't missed an opening ceremonies since Seoul (both summer and winter games). I even went to the 96 Atlanta ones in person.

God bless Youtube!

Unfortunately, I missed them. I was hoping to see it, but I had come down with a serious case of bronchitis and I was passed out in bed at the time it started.

I watched it all.
I liked a lot the countdown at the beginning. uber-coordination job that one! 8 P
as well as the writing part, with all the ideograms moving up and down, making waves and so on..
also the footsteps fireworks were nice. : )

My country was 190th so I got a bit bored waiting for them.. x P

oh, and also that landscape-like drawing where the whole teams-procession got over making a rainbow with their footsteps was a nice idea too! I wonder what they'll do with that big paiting.. maybe installing it in some big public building? 8 )

meh.. If only they would put the same effort in respecting a bit more the human rights.. *grumbles* >: 7

I only saw part of it. Overall pretty impressive, must be a h*ll of a job to coordinate all the different "tasks" in such a way. Once again very impressive.

I thought it started out well but got a bit tedious....probably because I though NBC's camera selections were terrible.
