I think Barnabas learning about our world should start out with a little humor but end up very, very sad, to the point that the viewer feels like crying for him.
I think he's look should echo the past. I think he should look timeless. Beautiful but worn, not old but more like an antique. Someone that others would be able to tell is different but not know how or why. His eyes would show the lonely years that he has seen pass. His walk, his manner, his voice would be elagent, like someone that knew Shakespeare and would be at home talking with him. Yet at the same time he should seem very smart, like he could keep up with Einstein. But above all he should look very, very lonely.
That's just my opinion.
