You know what would be a better story than the one people are getting? The Master finally free from the Spanish mission near the Hellmouth only to wind up with no place to go... so he moves into a studio apartment in San Francisco in a complex filled with hip young people. That would be hilarious. I'm picturing Mark Metcalf pulling that off so wonderfully. Of course, I don't know if it would be funny if the Master would be human or still a vampire. But I'm also imagining the disturbing mental image of drunk!Buffy falling all over him saying, "Don't you know? Every vampire that poses the biggest threat to me gets a free pass! Let's do this! *hic*"
Joss probably doesn't remember that he ever named the Master, which like he doesn't remember the entirety of Season 1's plot. Master is trying to get out the Spanish mission, not the Hellmouth. He spends the whole frickin' half-season trying to get free. The Master claims vampires have souls. The Master gets dusted to nothing but bones. In an alternate reality in which Buffy never came to Sunnydale, the Master would have risen in Season 1 to open up a blood factory. Those are things that are not easy to forget... yet Whedon did (along with Warren being dead and all).
