And as expected, the whole thing just...ends. Much like the whole event in general.

Should have ended with Nickelback and the torch going out to the lyrics 'Burn it to the Ground'.

If there's one good thing to be taken from this, I'm glad Loreena McKerritt, my favorite Canadian artist of them all, wasn't involved. Sure, her music would have beat everyone else's (her and Rush), but on the other hand, it would be very much like shooting fish in a barrel. Which can be said for the Games too.

I think London and Sochi are looking at this and breathing a sigh of relief to know they won't suck as badly as the Canucks did. I just hope that they involve a time traveler alien who flies around in a police box, and Tim Curry as a Soviet Premier.

Great Britain have abundance of great music acts from yesteryear and today.
And I bet the Opening and Closing Ceremony organisers f*** it up by getting Simon Cowell to oversee the music acts. It's scary but it will probably happen.

The singer on the gyroscope was... yea

You know what would've been a funny way to end the Olympics. Showing THIS.Half the Canadians would be pissed, half the Canadians would be confused, and I would be laughing my ass off.

Well...back to the normal doldrums of being a Canadien, eh. As much as everyone involved wanted the whole Events to be a life changing Canada changing event thing, I don't think that will happen. Everyone leaves Vancouver, the stadiums are left abandoned, the nation returns to normal and all the merchandise and streets are cleaned up. Pessimistic? Maybe. But I also feel biased. I know that if the Olympics were held in Montreal or Quebec, I would think more highly of them due to my kinship to the Province and her people. But I don't know. Only time will tell the overall result of these Games, white elephants or otherwise, and I hope I'm wrong. (Or I'm right and I find some way to help change things. )

The games themselves? Fantastic, especially hockey.
The ceremonies? Good Lord, Vancouver, what were you thinking?
Some fun parts, but, really now, outside of Neil Young you have to do better than that.
