I watched after the Parade of Athletes and saw the torch which was stunning. Then I watched the first part and it really was a massive undertaking although not as inspiring as the Beijing was. I think Danny Boyle was showcasing the history of England and the music through the years, but I don't think it was as relevant to the television audience as it was to Brits. But I kept thinking about all the coordination that had to go on and the practicing and the fact that it was all done in the same circle that the torch was later lit in and I couldn't help but be impressed with the design and use of the "set". However it didn't have the overall "wow" factor for me, except for the torch.
