You know, I'd like to see Sahjhan back almost as much as I'd like to see Connor back. (And Lilah and Cordelia -- and Minear and no Spike!) He had style.
Part of me worries that essential bits of continuity like that will get lost in the shuffle. I'm sure this has happened before in the Buffyverse (Buffy's S7 confusion over whether a Slayer will be called the next time she dies comes to mind). Part of me has confidence in the Angel staff, though. Part of me wonders how much it will matter, if Season Five has its own integrity. Though I really hope they resolve some of the "I'm kind of fuzzy on the details of why Justine slashed Wesley's throat when all he was doing was running off with Angel's blankie" sorts of problems raised by the erasure of Connor, I do think that the position the characters are in now has a sort of resonance. I can imagine them saying, "I used to have all these values and ideals that I would never sell out in a million years. Then I don't know what happened. It was like I just woke up one morning and became all corporate."
No, they'd better explain everything. (Ugh. I was getting impatient waiting for them to explain the end of season three finale. Now they've got a backlog!)
