BC in 1840 was able to jump right out of the coffin and go out wherever to dine, without attacking Julia first. I like the coma theory, though. I could see a vampire being able to attack the one person who lets him out, but then needing that one person's blood before he has the strength to get up and leave. Strange that with all the vampire stories over my whole life, i've never seen it presented what happens to a vampire if she/he doesn't get blood. Really strange.
As for BC and secret townie victims... that would change everything.
Barnabas just wouldn't be the person we think he is. We can have some understanding for the position BC is in, the struggle, the corner he's often backed up into... but if he's really just wantonly snacking on townsfolk, that goes over a certain boundary, and at least to some extent makes him a fraud, as a DS protagonist.
