Watching now. Wow.
It may mean that steampunk and scifi have jumped the shark, to be so thoroughly... I'm not even sure what. But it's actually quite interesting as a statement of "here's where we are and where we're headed."
As a display for all the former colonies, it's... something. Especially the slave ship with Annie Lennox as pirate queen.
Are we that old that it was time for a Spice Girls reunion? Wow. Kudos to the planners for finding someone who could really pull off "Walrus" without being precious.
The men's marathon was pretty cool this a.m. I was hoping for a surprise winner, and Uganda upsetting Kenya with only one American even finishing was definitely that. Great smile as he cruised towards the finish. The women's 4x400 relay with a serious new record after past fiascos while the Bahamas took the men's relay, Usain doing his thing like it's easy, the 17 y.o. bringing home gold in the first women's boxing while the U.S. men did not, and Rudisha winning the 800m with a world record were all great viewing...
It almost makes me wish I could run...
