But Web had already put her on the train that didn't go to LAX. So he must have been sure he didn't have the right (or only) guy. Or else he's a pointless prick, which'd surprise me.

Web (who obviously noticed that the security guy was named Simon) looked at the security camera and put 2 and 2 together.

That's how Paul figured it out, isn't it? But Web must have known before that, to do the whole charade of firing Rebecca and putting her on a train that didn't actually go to the airport. I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't the firing of Rebecca before all the "Simon says" stuff? (or at least during).

And then Paul and Web both end up at the right station - maybe it was the end of the line, no other choices for the train. yeah, that works. (as long as you don't actually know the LA subway system).

I'm starting to think that Web figured out that someone in the control room was the killer. Simon told Rebecca that Web was going on and on about the killer. It's possible that Web is good at reading people and was watching everyone in the control center. He probably figured it was Simon just before or right around the time the hooded guy showed up.

"Simon says" and that "Simon sees everything" and then Web (who obviously noticed that the security guy was named Simon) looked at the security camera and put 2 and 2 together.

I'll need to rewatch to hear what he actually said but, in the script, it was "Skyman says." With a look to the surveillance cameras.

Except that Rebecca tried to talk the killer out of getting off the train there.

Huh. I distinctly heard "Simon says," but maybe my ear was trained to hear that since we'd just learned the killer's name was Simon.

Here it is:

INT. UNDERGROUND SUBWAY STATION - ESCALATOR - CONTINUOUS

As Hoff, flanked by Paul, Danny and other law enforcement types, ascend on the escalator.

GARETH HOFF
Skyman says. Skyman says.

DANNY
So that gonna be the defense, Gareth? Man in the sky told you to hurt those ladies?

GARETH HOFF
I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

DANNY
Well, it was the sky man’s fault.

GARETH HOFF
Skyman says follow the pretty ladies. Show me. Skyman can see. He can see. He’s watching.

His eyes shift up. Paul follows his gaze. They’re passing under a SECURITY CAMERA. Paul reacts to that.

I liked it - more than I thought I would considering I can't watch CSI et. al because of the gore. LOVED Peter Coyote/Web - the BF said he wished the show was all about Web, and I kind of agreed at first - but Tim's comments about the fight for Rebecca's soul pinged me but good.

I don't love it (yet) - but there were a lot of things I really liked, I enjoyed watching it a great deal, and I am excited to see the next episode. I do like it more than I liked Firefly after "The Train Job" - but I think I would have liked FF more if I saw the pilot first.

The lighting/cinematography in general was beautiful - very X-Files/Millennium -ish (even more so than Angel -ish I think. The blipverts were the only stylistic thing that made me think of Angel ). The music at one point reminded me a LOT of Millennium. (I never really got into that show because it was just too depressing, and while I like Lance Hendriksen, Frank was very boring to me as a character. But I always thought it had a beautiful style.) And Mel is very Scully-ish to me.

And Mel is very Scully-ish to me.

Yes, yes, yes!

Calli, I agree re: Web = CSM. I saw that as I was watching; someone (Danny? Paul?) wanted to know something about Web's history and if I'd been playing MST3K my comment totally would've been "Well I used to be CSM..."
