I'm such a bastard, because I am the one of these people, who are not super-extra-mega excited about Olympics (well at least not even half as much as I was about Euro2012).

Forgive me, UK. D:

I think it'll wane for me soon because Canada always does so terribly in the Summer games, and it's less fun when there's no one to root for. But the Opening Ceremonies definitely reawoke the inner Olympic stan I've had inside since Van2010. And all the majestic shots of London are helping!

Lolll ITA, to me Euro Cup (or World Cup too) >>> Olympics so much, even though I'm from the land of no football (USA) but luckily Spain is like my second home...;)

YEAH! SPAIN WAS AMAZING. 4:0 LIKE A BOSS.

This was by far the most fun I've had watching an Opening Ceremony. XD

IKR!! I don't think I've ever sat through a full one before, but this was like everything I could've hoped for. TOO BAD THEY CUT OUT THE DW THEME. DON'T FAIL ME NOW CLOSING CEREMONIES.

It was a "blink and you miss it" moment, but the sound of the TARDIS materializing was mixed into the music during the 70's section of that "Frankie and June" routine. The friend with whom we watched the ceremony knew it was coming from a tweet, so we rewound it to listen again - I definitely heard it the second time. It's a crowd scene, during which the actors (including the male lead in their *love* story) is standing amongst the audience. I'll try to see if my friend has the exact time it occurs, but someone has no doubt already captured it and put it on the interwebs. :)

I had heard a lot of it before actually as like, spoilers, and assumed it was false. MARY POPPINS VS VOLDEMORT? JAMES BOND AND THE QUEEN PARACHUTING? PFFFFFT. I stand corrected!

lol I went to go find some Canada icons.

I get SUPER into random summer sports that I normally do not care one iota about like beach volleyball. And then I always enjoy watching the US compete in swimming and track and gymnastics.

I like flipping throuhg random sports but the summer doesn't have any where I know the rules well or anything. Like the Winter Games has a lot of random ones I find fun to watch -- like how fun are the ski jumps and stuff? -- as well as men's and women's hockey for me to obsess over and be outraged over calls in.
