I liked Barnabas's and Julia's conversation: all the jigsaw puzzle pieces are here, and now the drama begins. They didn't accomplish anything in 1995, they couldn't stop anything from happening in 1970, and now they expect to do better in 1840. Such optimism!
Fear of discovery keeps Barnabas from biting, as well as the fact that you have to be a neutral observer at first, finding out what the story was before any meddling, before you can effectively make any changes. I know Barnabas isn't much good at all this, but he tries. If he makes Daphne a victim now, he may find out some things but changes (even more than he has already that is) things from that point on. Daphne may be there by accident and may know no one at Collinwood, as far as he knows, and he'll have bitten for nothing, and have a victim complicating things. He didn't bite Beth in 1897 until he was desperate for information.
As for Barnjulia's optimism... well, if this doesn't work out, they can always (somehow) keep jumping backward in time till it does! Maybe that's the source of the optimism...
