I was expecting less than Beijing, but was pleasantly surprised up until the Industrial Revolution part too. That Asian and African-British(? What's the proper English description of Black people?) gentlemen were pretty cool; the odd choreography of the gentlemen needed some explaining. At that point, everything went down hill.
Everything in that so-called love-story into the Digital Age was pretty lame, the neon representation of the tube system was awful. I couldn't wait for that segment to be over. The announcers talked about how the actors had charisma, I saw none of it.
Mr. Bean? Must be a British thing. Kudos to the dancing doctors, some looked professionalish. Thumbs down to that segment as a whole, too.
I'm no professional, but I found the choreography as a whole, underwhelming. Also those light panels behind everyone, including the royals were distracting.
As for sport:
I'm looking for a Federer career Golden Slam. I want Murray to break the hearts of the UK in an Olympic fashion and I'm not a big fan of Djokovic either. Further, Serena (and Venus) Doubles and Singles gold. Lastly, I'm interested who is paired up for the US in Mixed Doubles and how they will play.
Random Human Interest: South Korea's "blind" marksman, and South Africa's "Blade Runner".
EDIT: Ugh...I just looked at Federer's draw...-.-
