Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

[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.

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.

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

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.

I want to make this guy chicken soup.

Or at least make a network where things like Wonderfalls and G vs E and cool shit I like can live 4 evah.

Art Crawl!!!

Wow. That show still sounds like it would have been really good. Makes me wish I had the technology to download it. (Which I do not.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That does sound cool, and I love the moment he described about the 3 AM shoot.

Let's see if I can find it on BitTorrent.

ETA: Well, that was easy.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The very first time when Simon points to his shirt, it may have been Simon says, but it's fainter.

But for every time? Not on my tv. It has the K sound in there.

Even on the copy I downloaded on my computer to double check something else.

Unless my ears are broken.

Oh, about the issue of the plant on the floor. The implied timeline of the show has her getting attacked the day before it was discovered. The landlord probably stopped by again later the same day found her gone, and didn't notice the plant, or didn't care. Same thing with the papers and stuff on the table. He got suspicious when her personal stuff was gone, but not the furnature, it seems.

He probably would have either cleaned up the place if it turned out she really had skipped.
