I think Matt was trying to say that there is a difference between the well-structured and thought-out twist endings of the later seasons and the random and sporadic twists of the first season. Whether you found the ending to "The Vase" shocking is to your discretion, but there is an apparent difference between the two.

I will say that after years of watching this show, it always finds new ways to surprise me. ("The Blame" handling its topic with the nuance it did, the entirety of "The Rerun", the ending to "The Grades"), but that's just me. Perhaps I'm just too easily impressed.
