Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
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..."
I just played his scene. It is "Skyman."
I have a question about the ending of the episode -- how does everyone know where to go, and get there in time? Web and Paul show up pretty handily, but the baddie didn't need to get off there, did he? How was Danny to get from one station to the next in time to meet the same train?
They've been studying the Jack Bauer method.
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).
Maybe if they hadn't have gotten off there, Web would have gotten on the train?
DENISE!
Hi. Hi. Hi!
*looks around*
Ooops. Carry on, people.
Maybe if they hadn't have gotten off there, Web would have gotten on the train?
Okay, that works for everything but the timing. Which is something.
Cindy! I will send you email this weekend. Promise.

Okay, I just watched the end again. This may be stretching it, but Web leaves the group first and takes off, presumably to go up the stairs, but we never see that. Could he have doubled back and actually have gotten on the train in another car?
I have no idea how Paul got there as quickly as he did..
Cindy! I will send you email this weekend. Promise.
Oh, cool! I saw your reply in that lj. But I saw it in email. I deleted the message, and then I realized I couldn't remember whose journal it was in.
Maybe if they hadn't have gotten off there
This isn't on topic, even a little, but I want to tell you that I love you for saying "hadn't have" instead of "hadn't of." That is all. /grammar nerd
In the original script, some things worked better. There was that thing where the Skyman says something about how cool it is that the FBI is there, and Web says, "Glad we could entertain you."
It was in the promos. I think that in the script Web's suspicion of him is more obvious.
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.
