Needless to say, I am anxious for the arrival of Barnabas.
Well, just don't get too anxious.
There's still plenty of non-Barnabas stuff to deal with before Barnabas makes his presence known in some fashion or another in the slideshow in May. And Barnabas as played by Alec Newman won't be showing up until July. That's one of the nice things about the pilot - Barnabas doesn't overpower the other characters - they all get their chance in the spotlight. Though that's not to say that Newman's Barnabas doesn't get great scenes - he definitely does.
