This was almost certainly just sloppiness on DSs part, but I have to wonder: why was BC able to go for incredibly long periods, almost entire storylines seemingly, without victimizing anybody and slaking his evil upon their cardiovasculary systems? I mean, while he was definitely a vampire?
It's often occurred to me... if vampires are immortal except for staking etc., do they actually need blood to "survive"? Not precisely, if they can be chained in a coffin for centuries, without it. Julia certainly treats BC as if he could just avoid biting through willpower, if he wanted to. Sometimes JH and BC talk as if it's just a "hunger" and not a "need".
All I've been able to figure... maybe vampires just get really anemic and tuckered out sans globulin, and can't move after awhile. But no, not if he's up and about for so much of 1897, say.
