If Julia were to succeed in her experiment and made it known, what prize would she have received? Pulitzer, Nobel Peace, etc.

This character study type of episode is missing in the later years unfortunately.

I could see Anthony George as Frank Garner.  Having him be a lawyer would certainly make for an interesting adversary with Barnabas! 

Interesting the way things work out: MR stays, Burkes fate is changed, no Peter/Jeff.
MR as Jeremiah who lives on and defends Vicky.  Burke vs. Nicholas & Cassandra!

AG as Frank Garner: No more Burke, probably no Tony Peterson.  AG as Jeremiah, though still leaves the show & then possible recast of both Jeremiah & Frank.

The Jason storyline had ran it course.  There wasn't anyway for Jason to continue on the show as Barnabas was becoming its principle character.  I like Dennis Patrick but the Liz/Jason storyline couldn't go on any longer.

I never minded the removal of the blooper as it improves the scene, which is a very dramatic moment.  Some bloopers should be omitted.

DC- And he thought RD was such a versatile actor.  No one will ever know what was on his mind.

If AM is in 1897, what about Barnabas?  Does his present self do the same thing with the I-Ching?
BC would probably have Vicky believing he is a Victorian Age ancestor of present time BC!

If AM could only play Vicky, then would they have sent her to 1897 instead of Barnabas?

1840 seemed to me to be a correction of a mistake the makers felt they'd made, in ever leaving 1897 at all.   They never actually left the past, once they'd gone back to 1840, though there were vague plans to eventually.   I can understand, if they felt this way.   The past was when DS woke up, and the magic came back, no matter how many stumbles were made along the way.

1897 was a great storyline but I don't see how they could have stayed there any longer.  In it's last months, the writers were obviously stretching things out.  They needed to beef up the present time characters more so that they wouldn't be "damsel in distress" like.  Alternating with a regular time soap opera plot would have been a good idea like the first Barnabas storyline.

Wille was probably going to be killed off as well, perhaps right before Barnabas was.  It would have been interesting if they planned for him to die in a heroic way by trying to save Maggie or Vickie.

I wish they had an outline of the original plan somewhere.  HODS may have been similiar to what was planned, but I doubt they would have done exactly what went on in the movie.

For me, the issue about 1840 is mainly that by that point in the series, I had enough of all the time travelling.  Every new storyline was taking place in a new time period.  I was tired of being introduced to all new characters who would be gone in a few months.  I wanted to see Liz, Roger, Carolyn, & the rest of the present time characters.  After 1897, the present time became a temporary stop over.

Could a reason that Barnabas doesn't do anything regarding the Liz/Jason situation be that it keeps them pre-occupied and less likely to interfere with his plans?

One of the problems with 1840 is that there are way too many unlikable characters, especially among the Collins family.  Unlike 1795 or 1897, there aren't really any Collins family members to root for other then Quentin.  Flora isn't seen to much and isn't even part of the main family. 

They didn't have to make both Collins wives, Edith and Samantha, unlikable.  Edith could have been a matronly character as she was supposed to continue on to 1897.  Perhaps have her husband off camera and away like their children were and have Gabriel be single.

According to what Prof. Stokes says in 1968, Ben died in 1830.
I regard 1840, from what others on this board have theorized, as another parallel time caused by the staircase.

I wish Robert Gerringer stayed on DS, though the NABET strike would not to have happened of that.

[spoiler]Was Woodard killed off because RG left and they decided to write the character out or was it planned that way?  I know BC was to be killed off by Burke & Woodward around this same timeframe. 

It was odd they wrote out both "hero" type characters and left the villian without any hero to take their place.  [/spoiler]
