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.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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..

What is even happening?

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.

I may have to seize the cat.
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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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.

Where's Web when that's all taking place?

Putting the plain in plainclothes.
Here is my take on what happened:
How did Web get to the station? He tells Rebecca she was not alone suggesting he was on the train. There is a shot of people boarding the train and I think normally you would see Rebecca getting on. Instead there is a distant shot of a man in a black suit looking toward the camera but being careful to remain hidden behind another passenger.
How does Web know Simon’s full name? He at least pays more attention to who he is working with than Rebecca. But I think it’s more. He probably did the background search on the guy in the security video and knows his petty non-violent crimes do not fit the profile. Also Web knew he wouldn’t ask for a lawyer. I think because he knows he’s not too smart, which also means he couldn’t rig up a sophisticated video feed. So who is associated with the subway and could? The subway video security guys. So he does background checks on them. Rebecca has become too focussed on the victims but Web looks to the killer.
I have no idea how Paul knew what station to go to.

He walked in the opposite direction from Paul, Danny and the suspect. I had assumed he got on the same train as Becky.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm pretty sure it's Simon says, not Skyman, in the final edit. Maybe the lines got looped?
One thing I have noticed: the episodes play much better on rewatch. There's a lot of rewatch value, I suspect, due to the unfolding nature of the show.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just watched last night. He says skyman which leads Puppy Eyes!Agent to look at the camera and go "oh, we got the wrong guy--it's camera guy.
