   This week's episode had another extended subway scene -- Abraham tracked   
   a suspect from the 18th St. to the 34th St. station on the 1. They didn't   
   look like IRT stations, they were improbably crowded, and there were   
   weird non-automatic station annoouncements.   
      
   Do the plaques on the pillars at 34th say "Penn Station"? These days   
   my 1-riding is pretty much limited to 116th to 59th.   
      
   Abraham was twice referred to as Henry's "roommate."   
      
   Speaking of characters named "Henry," on *Selfie* the girl is "Eliza   
   Dooley" and the boy is "Henry" -- I didn't catch a last name -- and   
   she asks him for a personality makeover. Shaw, it ain't. The pilot   
   was not promising at all.
