lori54, it's great to see you posting again on the Watching Project!
Once again I honor Barnabas for a decision - this time to have Vicky tell him the Dream - and once again I wish he would give it a little more thought. He knows he is about to become a vampire again. He knows that he is going to need blood. He knows that his personality is going to undergo some ugly changes. I don't know what he could do to prepare for this so as to minimize the adverse effects on other people. But I know that he should be trying. Does he really think that it's OK to kill people here, there, and everywhere in order to keep just one person safe, even if that one person is Vicky? And does he remember that when he was a vampire before, he bit Vicky, and does he understand that he might well end up biting her again?
Come to think of it, Julia's falling down on the job. She's usually the one to point out unpleasant facts to Barnabas. He doesn't listen to her, but at least she tries. Today all she did was fret.
Gosh what a fool Carolyn was, going and finding Adam. She did get away with it - but it was an serious risk to take.
