As far as Adam goes, yup, it's a HUGE plot hole as to how Barnabas could have become a vampire after being bitten by Jeb's bat because Cassandra's bat attack failed. (Though it was interesting how adversely Angelique's vampire attacks on Barnabas affected Adam - and there was never an adequate explanation for that and why Nicholas was so concerned because he had heard Lang's taped message.)
Had the show continued, what I would have liked to have seen was Adam show up and it turned out that somehow through whatever the Leviathans did so that Barnabas could become recursed, Adam was also a vampire due to his connection to Barnabas. That could have explained away the problems. (Though, of course, that would have flown in the face of what Sam Hall's article had laid out for Adam. But hey, even Hall said a lot of what's in that article was simply the ways things might have played out...)
As for other supernatural problems during Levithans, I'm willing to look the other way with a lot of them because I've always felt the show was free to make up its own supernatural rules (so long as it stuck to them). However, when it comes to things like Maine's lack of a death penalty, that's a real world rule, and the show was not free to rewrite the real world...
