DS was one of several very formative programs for me. Re Barnabas: I always felt alienated, too different to be accepted, and in danger all the time, but with a cool original identity or point of view underneath waiting to form and appear, and that sense caused me to hang in through everything back then. I'm still trying to make that happen (a unique medical condition impedes that now, strangely enough).
I love shows that shake up your point of view and get you to look at things in some better more sane way than school, family, and government may want you to. The Trasks did that. The preacher as a villain, in one era after another, the "monster" as a hero... Don't tell me DS had no counter-culture content...
