Did CTV really just imply that entire sequence was poignant for 100 years after the Titanic sinking?

Er....

Words fail me.

...God.

 

[BigJonsson]

So, no big ending then? would there be anything after this bit to keep us watching by chance?

Yea, there should be a bunch after

 

[Bleepey]

I wish Jeremy Clarkson introduced the contries

 

[ghostmind]

Chemical Brothers!


Music has been spot-on for the show.

 

[Brazil]

You guys are new to this? Seriously?

 

[MrPing1000]

Queen showing a bit of leg.

 

[Wix]

Who were the people they showed during that montage? 7/7 victims?

The audience was asked to send in pictures of family/friends they'd lost, according to Norwegian commentators.

 

[kharma45]

Any update on Trevor's cousin?

 

[Pixel_boy]

I think BBC messing up they miss the story of the train thing about two lovers we only saw the kiss and long shot for the dust thing wtf happen?

 

[KKRT00]

they started with music from Mass Effect 3

What? o_0

 

[Keyser Soze]

How long does this part last?

Over 100 countries (I think). Approx one minute each

 

[Mr Cola]

dont fuck with her, she means bsns

 

[MRORANGE]

I wish Jeremy Clarkson introduced the contries

This

 

[Hot Coldman]

Athletes?! BOOO, who cares about those guys

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

He is enacting persian people at nightclubs.

uh what?

 

[ghostmind]

Queen looked like she was texting...

 

[brokenbeans]

Time for sleep, night gaf.

 

[SteveWD40]

You guys are new to this? Seriously?

I am 32, first time I have bothered watching the opening.

 

[Hindle]

Clarkson needs to come on.

 

[Ventron]

What's the name of this great song during the start of the parade?

 

[Kurtofan]

American Samoa is not a real country wtf

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

So, no big ending then? would there be anything after this bit to keep us watching by chance?

Still another hour and half to go I think

 

[DECK'ARD]

They are even making this boring bit better with the music.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

The athlete from gallifrey will be last

 

[SJRB]

Can't believe they ended with that extreme downer. Come on now.

Highlights for me was the steel smelting and ring merging in the sky, James Bond and Rowan Atkinson. And Firestarter.

 

[Mr Cola]

This is a wonderful procession of rediculously good looking people, i love it

 

[killer_clank]

are those bits of the torch?

 

[RC]

Words fail me.

...God.

Haha, I really wish I watching this right now. Anyone know when they will air the repeat?

 

[Nevasleep]

Andorra Whoooo! I've driven past there.

 

[TheBioLover]

Opening lacked Formula 1, Top Gear and Doctor Who

Lord of the Rings aswell.

 

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

Don't Hold Back, What is this E3 2005-06

 

[Nilaul]

This opening was kinda of a mess,
No singular concept, just a mash-up of ideas.

 

[kharma45]

Everyone waiting with bated breath until we get up to "N" to see which flag we've given to North Korea

 

[goodfella]

Boy this is going to take ages isn't it?

 

[VelvetMouth]

I wish Prince Phillip could give commentary on the countries and their outfits as they walk in. It would be legendary.

 

[TCRS]

Massively exceeded my expectations. Was fucking awesome.

Agreed. The farm bit was a bit emberassing, I thought the rest is going to be shit as well. But the victorian bit and everything after that was simply amazing.

 

[ghostmind]

Increase the BPM = walk faster dammit!

 

[louis89]

I love how the Japanese commentary is explaining each country to the viewer. Angola - a country in southern Africa!

 

[G17]

Why can't we have commentary during the parade of nations by Prince Phillip? I'd pay for that.

 

[seventynine]

Can't believe they ended with that extreme downer. Come on now.

Highlights for me was the steel smelting and ring merging in the sky, James Bond and Rowan Atkinson. And Firestarter.

It hasn't ended yet.

 

[Xun]

Hopefully the ending will be epic.

Been good so far!

 

[Rich!]

I wish Jeremy Clarkson introduced the contries

"Here is the French, also known as a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys, responsible for such horrors as the Citroen AX"

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Still another hour and half to go I think

Still have the Olympic Flag, opening of the games, lighting the torch, and athlete/judge oaths.

 

[twobear]

hha they got a NeXT CUBE for that too. Nice.

Was it not THE NeXT Cube?

 

[Achtius]

I wish David Attenborough could give commentary on the countries and their outfits as they walk in. It would be legendary.

fixed

 

[Meadows]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Hot Coldman]

Everyone waiting with bated breath until we get up to "N" to see which flag we've given to North Korea

:lol :lol :lol

 

[iNvid02]

THEY'RE OURS

 

[Brazil]

I am 32, first time I have bothered watching the opening.

Is the cauldron lit?

 

[CorrisD]

I want the TARDIS to appear just before the lighting and The Doctor to pop out looking confused..

... Fuck, it's not going to happen.

I would have taken anything tbh, James Bond walking out of the Tardis with The Doctor would have been awesome.
