I had mixed opinions on it.

The whole snow boarder recording, then appearing jumping into the arena was pretty cool.
Rick Hansen had cool lighting when he entered.
The idea of having 5 people light the cauldron was awesome.
At first i did not like the music, but after thinking about it they made a good all around choice to keep everyone happy
Good choices for those carrying the Olympic flag (from those i remember)

Hydraulic malfunction sucked
Long wait time for Gretzky to get from the arena to the other cauldron (standing on back of truck) was boring
While watching the truck for like 15 minutes, anyone else notice the duct tape put over the passenger side head light? Probably to stop camera glare, just when they cut the pieces 3-4 inches longer than they needed to cover the light it look kinda unprofessional. But i guess the duck tape was Canadian like
Opera for the Olympic hymn, really?

Isn't that an old Leonard Cohen song, I thought she did a good job. I think the best part was the poet.

I though the interprative dancing was "gary without the r", but some of the Canadians they dug up for the event were great. I was once a huge F1 and indy car fan and was stoked to See Jaques Villaneuve carring the flag, and rick hansen. I also thought it was funny that old # 99 was riding in a chevy after his long relationship with Ford.

On another note, whats up with the garbage tricks that the American chick who won the moguls did last night to win gold ? A dead sailor 360 and a dead sailor back flip, most of the 10 year olds who ski the terrain park across the street from my house at Canada Olympic park can do that, judged sports are not sports......more like ballet.

Also, if "Bob Gnarley" or the "frenchie with the dreadlocks" would have not given up and coasted on the last few laps of the speed skating we/he would have won a bronze at least, but thats a lazy hippie for ya.
