Not to mention add more Dominos commercials because they were the chief sponsor of the miniseries - even so far as having their name appear in some of the print ads.

The character is so ruthless at times that it was hard to feel sympathy for Barnabas. And someone really should have told him that it's hard to hiss like that and then try to come off as masculine.
We can trace all of that directly back to DC. He wanted Barnabas to be more ruthless, giving him more traits from hoDS than the original series. And DC came up with the whole snarling in the woods. Why? To stress more of Barnabas' animalistic nature when he's all vamped out, I suppose. But as I've often said, I think it diminishes the character rather than enhances him. And it's the one thing I truly dislike about the '91 DS.
