When he learned about the secret room, if he was unable to find Burke, wouldn't the logical thing to do was go directly to the sheriff or at least Sam Evans and Joe Haskell.   Taking it all on his own was not a wise decision.

Another weird inconsistency I just noticed. After Julia comes to 1897, Barnabas tells her that Angelique is there. Julia acts surprised, but why should she be? After all, Beth told her that Angelique was engaged to Quentin even before Julia made the trip back to the past. Yikes

Actually, Beth's ghost never mentioned the name of the woman to Julia.

I always thought Angelique's timeline went as follows:

1692 (as Miranda)- she then eventually died.
1795/1796- reincarnated and made a witch per Angelique's Descent.
1840
1968
1796
1897
1970

Angelique was making annual trips to check that Barnabas was still chained in his coffin, so in the original 1840 she saw the chains and then left town.  The same goes for 1897.

I always thought that following 1897, there were two Angeliques in the 1968 period.  While she was Cassandra at Collinwood, her present self was in New York as a model, eventually meeting Sky Rumson and marrying him.  She clearly avoided Collinwood altogether in 1968 to avoid messing anything up.

At the point in 1897 when Quentin is saved from being killed, Barnabas makes a statement "David was never possessed".  which would be the true case, as there is no ghost in the present time. But the writers forgot all about this by having present time characters still remember his ghost.   By the summer 1970 haunting of Gerard/Daphne, everyone seems to have forgotten Quentin/Beth's haunting by not commenting on the similarites between the two.

Thats another good thing about 1795 in that there is a regular soap opera type story going on as in the first months when Barnabas appeared.

In an interview, Dan Ross stated that it was Matthew Morgan who was the unknown attacker on Vicky.

The first Gold Key DS comic book is hilarious in that everytime Barnabas is shown, he is seen running with one arm raised while holding his cane in his hand!

1897 was originally to have lasted three months as Dan Curtis said in an interview.  Does anyone have any idea what they originally may have outlined for 1897?  Perhaps it was more like 1795 with Barnabas just standing on the sidelines watching the events play out.

Vicky slowly got over her grief for Burke during the 5 months she spent in 1795.

I never did understand why his name wasn't at least brought up soon after she returmed from the past (as Dr. Woodard was).

Someone should have asked her "Vicky, a few minutes ago you were in mouring about Burke, now who is this Peter who you are so upset about"?
