Have you all watched the opening ceremonies already? I'm just watching it now on NBC... is there a thread somewhere for that?

it was broadcast at 6am ET without commentary on nbcolympics.com but compared to previous years I think much less people were watching and posting about it. Also it might have been shorter than normal.

More people will be watching it now.

Or she knows exactly what it means.

I'm already tired of the background stuff and it's just the opening ceremonies that I'm trying to watch.

This is like watching a movie on DVD with the directory commentary on when you are just trying to watch the movie for the first time.

If you can get on the BBC site you can probably stream their playback. They aired it live.
Not sure if you can stream the nbcolympics.com playback because I don't have cable anymore, but they probably want people watching the primetime airing.

Either way, holy poo poo this commentary is bad and worthless.
