Big Globe Thing with vaguely athletic people on it looks -- Nike? McDonalds? -- commercial-ish. But the Big Globe Thing when it came up and had abstract patterns was blowing me right the fuck away, so I'm prone to changing my mind at a second's notice.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And then the kid pictures! I'm officially weepy. I am a sucker for global unity spin.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Susan, I'd be happy to - but I should warn that I might have to hop offline before I can get to any questions tonight. Maybe post questions in GWW so I can find them easier than spotting them in mid-watch'n'post?
Oh, it doesn't have to be tonight. I'm through that scene now, and I'm in full-on just-get-THROUGH-this-damn-thing mode (AKA "this may be the crappiest thing I've ever written, but that's why God made rewrite"). So I'm probably not going to look at it closely until sometime next month when I do my first editing pass (timeline, continuity, and stuff like the swordfight scene I didn't research at the time).

I still think the fireworks and air pollution=bad, but the way they set them up to coordinate with the lines and design of the Birdnest really, really worked.

OK, don't hate the commentators so much because they explained how the order is different because of the chinese language and thus how they order "alphabetically" (not really) in chinese.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lot of these athletes are really good looking.

I was just thinking that man, what a parade of attractive people!

A lot of these athletes are really good looking.
Especially the mathletes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess it's the combination of good health + happy people?

I think a lot of the attractiveness comes from the look on their faces. Who isn't beautiful with a huge, joyful smile on their face? I'm happy for every single one of them.
