    I watched the replay.
    The boats down the Seine was an inspiration, brilliant idea.
    The rest of it - not so much. Fast forwarded bits like the disco dancing on the barge. Could have been cut to 5-10 minutes.
    The mystery guy carrying the torch was an interesting touch, and the parkour bits were striking, especially given it was raining!
    Must admin the resemblance of the Dionysus bit to the Last Supper didn't occur to me - or my wife who is a dinki-di Christian.
    And they were lucky the wind wasn't up for the flag-raising. The embarrassment would have been sooooo much greater.

    Didn't get to part 4 - looking forward to the lighting of the flame - which I believe is by multiple French open champ Rafa Nadal.
