"To Shanshu In LA" -Guess who I saw

[Kindred]

So, I decided to watch the season one finale today and I noticed a couple of things.

-First; When Vocah's mask was removed, he looked a bit like Jasmine under there. Now, I'm not suggesting that ME really had the plot of the series outlined all the way through season four at that point,

Spoiler

but maybe in thier hope to present everything as having led up to that story, they at least went to the extent as giving some kind of, eh... continuity (?) to the seperate, or not, stories.

Or I could just be looking for something where there's nothing. After all, it's not the first or last time we've seen bugs in the Buffyverse.

-Secondly; And here's the really funny thing about the episode. Anyone seen Amber's movie Chance? Well, if you have, then you'll recognize the sidewalk player in "To Shanshu..." (during Cordy's visit to the outdoor market) as the same guy doing those terriible transitional scenes in Chance. Thought that was kind of fun... Or something, can't quite come up with a suitable adjective.

I don't really think that Vocah's face had anything to do with the plot of season four, or for that matter, the future of the series. *shrugs* I honestly think that in season four, the writers just put that whole "master plan" bit in there, I don't think that they had already thought of that in seasons 2 and 3. But yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself when I first saw that episode on DVD, but after some thought, I don't really think they have any significance toward each other.
