I don't think I mentioned here that I saw them filming "Sex and the City" at Grand Central several weeks ago. It was late, sometime after midnight, and they had the one track lit with floodlights and bunches of extras milling about. I caught a glimpse of Sarah Jessica but it was only a glimpse. I saw the episode they were filming tonight.

Three observations -

1. It was maybe a thirty second scene when they were walking to the train that they were taking to San Francisco. The interiors were not the train that was in the station. The train they were walking up to was a Metro North - Harlem Line train and the interiors were supposed to be an Amtrak train. For this they had a ton of crew, equipment and trailers set up. Amazing that they allocated so many resources for this quick shot.

2. The lighting was amazing. The floodlights made it really look daylight even though it very late.

3. Picky New Yorkers will have problem with this episode. They were obviously in Grand Central. Anyone who has spent much time there will recognize the ramp at the entrance and the platform that they walk down. However, you haven't been able to take anything other than a Metro North (commuter) train at GCT since, I think, the 1960's. Amtrak runs out of the horrible Penn Station which would have made for a much uglier shot.

Next week's the season finale already?! I understand that Sarah and Cynthia are both pregnant so they need to make the season shorter but that seems a little silly, don't you think? Discuss...
