If Barnabas can time travel why didn't he go back to Martinique and keep his pants zipped?


He would've had to have traveled to Martinique again to be able to arrive there when he goes back to time and like a previous poster said there was no one to take him back. Too bad Peter didn't have Barnabas go back to prevent Angelique from even getting started, then a whole lot more would've been fixed but then we'd lose Barnabas in the present so that's probably why the writers didn't do it. Either that or they were being lazy or Dan Curtis was being cheap. *shrug*

John Karlen once said that being multiple characters later in the show was like working in a repertory company......for his sake, I'm glad he saw it in such a positive light.....I think it looks more like indentured servitude.


Yes, but indentured servitude was something he was already used to.  LOL

    I am so glad Cassandra brought this up. If Barnabas can time travel why didn't he go back to Martinique and keep his pants zipped?  He could have gone back and saved his sister or his mother but Nooooo!  He saves some putz that went back of her own free will to a fate she knew would happen.  All this for a  woman who was in love with someone else.  I think all the other deaths just are not worth it . Josette, Sarah, Bathia, Naomi, Abigail, Trask, assorted street tarts. Did I leave anybody out?

Dear Onyx,
Your message cracked me up! ROTFLOL!!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the zipper was invented until the early 1900's???  Also, that was really funny about Barnabas being a male fluff head :-) Maybe by going back in time to 1795, he could only save Victoria because she was the only one who didn't love Barnabas when the original curse was given to him by Angelique.  Also, B does put himself directly in the line of temptation by going down to the docks in the first place.  He never could control himself very well as we all know. His lust for blood could probably be comparable to a drug addict.
