Sarahs Warning to David

[Joeytrom]

Who was she referring to in the second to last episode prior to 1795 when she talls David that "the dead are angry and have come back and there's someone in this house they want to destroy"?

Was this a warning about the upcoming appearance of Angelique in town to destroy Barnabas?  They never really resolved this.

Joyetrom,
I thought she was refering to Barnabas in 1967 and the way he was treating Carolyn, Vicki & David.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I agree AllenCollins: Sarah's warning to David was exactly that...a direct reference to David himself being in danger from Barnabas.

David asked Sarah if it was he the dead were after and she said it wasn't.

Okay, I must have been out of the room for THAT line....!

So what the heck was she talking about?  Which Dead?  Jason MacGuire?  Right at that point in the storyline, who else is dead?  Not even Barnabas, really....he's the Undead, right?

She can't be talking about all those near-and-dear departed from 1795.....after all, Vicky goes back in time, they don't come forward.

Actually, Sarah's the only ghost on the scene.....and I don't think she's talking about herself.

I give up.  Maybe that scene was running short and they needed an additional line of dialogue to make it time out properly.  Sometimes we don't give the writers on this show enough credit...and sometimes we give they waaayyyyy too much!!

I always assumed that Sarah was talking about Barnabas as the dead, and that it was Julia that he was angry with and trying to destroy. After all, Sarah had just saved Julia from being strangled (yet again!) by B. After all, Barn really is one of the dead who has come back. To me, this is the beginning of the writers building up sympathy for Julia and turning her into "good" Julia instead of "bad" Julia, since it seemed obvious by then that Julia Hoffman was becoming too popular a character to kill off as originally planned.

I'm inclined to see it like this:

the dead=Barnabas
destroyee=Julia or Vicki

As for Angelique, my understanding is she would not have come to the present (1967/68), but having discovered that Vicki came from the future (Vicki's present) and that Barnabas was alive and well and having "escaped", that all changed . . .

I think you are right Joey and they just forgot about it
these seems to happen a lot with the writers that were
trying to crank out a script very quickly that was growing in popularity every week!!

also i have a question about time travel are there two pasts one that Vicki wasn't part of and one she was
and is is that why Barnabas didn't recognize her when he firt was released or is there only one past the changed one?

I believe that Vicki wasn't in the original past, which makes it fun to speculate if Angelique made Phyllis Wick her patsy the first time around.

I believe Barnabas recognized Phyllis Wick when she appeared at the seance, which would certainly indicate that she was the one he knew originally.  

And, I believe something will be learned when this is over that will indicate that Phyllis was charged as a witch instead of Vicki.  

However, since she wouldn't have had all the strange things about her that made Vicki suspicious to some of them, I can't imagine why they latched on to her.  Perhaps just because she was new, or maybe Angelque did some things on the order of what she's doing to Vicki now, that made her seem a likely candidate.
