There's something about 1840 that hasn't been discussed in any forum or fan publication. It's this: I've always felt that each of the three major trips to the past spotlighted a particular character. 1795 told of Barnabas' past, and 1897 was Quentin's story. But 1840 could've been easily subtitled All About Angelique, for it is in this story that her past (or more accurately her past life as Miranda duVal) is explored as is her destiny in regard to her relationship with Barnabas. There were many juicy scenes for Lara climaxing in that unforgettable final moment with Barnabas. We saw the character at her best and worst in this time period, and it just seems to me that she dominated the events of 1840.
