Already looking forward to the Rio opening!
I can do w/out the dopey commentary/cutesy narratives from the NBC anchors.
But absolutely loved the Queen's "arrival"!

Agree with everyone that this was "disappointing." Maybe typical British understatement.
But I just GASPED at the bit when the Queen jumped out of the helicopter. Good on ya, Girl! Didn't suspect she had such a sweet sense of humor.
Anyone want to give up on this and share your favorites?
OK. I'll start.
1: China
2: Norway
3: France
What are yours?
I think the comments by the, er, commentators are their attempts to add a little interest to the evening. But, it wasn't all bad. Any night the Queen of England jumps out of a helicpoter can't be written off as a complete loss!
Awwwww, cmon. I know she didn't really jump!
