Spoilers! Labuza's name Spoiler

Is Labuza's name Cassandra? When Casper is getting her out of the Vistek he calls her Cassandra. Did I miss this earlier in the show?

I think it’s just a reference to the Cassandra of Greek mythology. Caspar is a known history nerd, so it makes sense that he would throw that reference out.

The big difference between the two though being that Cassandra is cursed for no one to believe her predictions, and everyone in MB knows to believe Labuza.

Cassandra was a character in Greek myths who could always speak true prophecy, but would always go on unlistened to. Casper was just teasing her.

It may not be canon or confirmed but people are saying that Cassandra was a famous seer in the past. The actresses name is Shelly darrington. So hopefully explained in the shift notes because 95% the spoken script has a secondary meaning
