WOO OTHER KOREA

[Rather Not]

It's been pretty spectacular so far. Not as impressive an opening ceremony as the one in Athens or Beijing, imo, but still good.

[TheCreeper]

Worst Korea.

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with those "bronze kettles".
It doesn't help the commentators keep going "MYSTERIOUS KETTLES OOOOOO"

Apparently only an Olympian can carry the torch to the flame.

PLEASE MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR TENNANT.

It's pretty ridiculous on the account that this ceremony was hardly multi-cultural, too. Well, neither was the one in China, but that was to be expected. It'd be pretty nice if they did something less about the hosting country and more about humanity in general like the binary helix from the greek ceremony:
