Of course, BC wasn't given much time to be remorseful.   The amount of time Frid had to memorize his lines, that's just about how much time BC was given for things such as remorse.   And we don't know what he thought about, privately.

Not all characters have to be "good" to be valuable, of course.

Oh, absolutely......"good" characters can be soooooooo boring, can't they?  [lghy]

I never did like it when Barnabus adiosed Carl. I cried the first time I saw it. He could've made Carl forget, like he did with Nora when she accidently saw him about to biteĀ  Charity. But I guess it's easier for him to make a little girl forget than it is  to make a grown man forget.

Carl Collins murder was probably one of the most shocking things in the 1897 flashback.  That Barnabas murdered one of his own relatives without even any concern if Carl was important to history is amazing.

And then Quentin says, "Well, I guess you had to..."   Oh, well.   Shrug.

As much as I love Barnabas (and I must confess Carl was never particularly a favorite of mine) I don't like what he did to Carl. [spoiler]Why not just bite Carl and put him under his power and have Carl recant everything he said to Trask?

Maybe that's why Quentin didn't want to shoot Carl either. Maybe he was hoping Barnabas would enslave Carl rather than kill him.....he should have suggested Barnabas do that instead of aiding and abetting the murder of his brother.[/spoiler]
