Wow.
Not sure if any one moment was on par with Ali lighting the torch, but as a whole, this may have been the greatest opening ceremony....no....greatest large-scale production I have ever seen.

The opening ceremony has been unbelievable. That stadium is awsome. Jerry Jones is going to be pissed that his new stadium isn't as tricked up.
If you ever wondered what happened to every dollar every American has spent at Wal-Mart over the last 20 years . . . they spent many of them on this opening ceremony. Hands down the most impressive. I want that LCD screen for the stadium.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I thought that Jerry's '20 to 20' yard line jumbotron was impressive.
But, sheez, that thing they have in Beijing is awe-inspiring.
The outside of the stadium looks like a rubber band ball, though. Or maybe the inside of a golf ball
That was the best I've ever seen for sure! The cube or box sequence with the people inside of them was AMAZING!!!
Wow, Iran just got booed like Ric Flair in the Hirsch in 1986. Harsh.
Love how they just HAD to show Dubbya during the Iraq entrance.
Live streams of some of the more obscure sports on www.nbcolympics.com . Some going on right now! Its pretty cool to watch this stuff with no commentary. Seems 'pure'.
Phelps looks like he'll be awesome again swimming. He was clearly coasting at the end of his 400 medley heat and still set an Olympic record!
I didn't see any gills.

After that performance in the prelim, the question isn't 'does Phelps win all 8 golds', its 'just how badly does he destroy all world records?'
The man is a machine. A cyborg.
