There were many occasions when the color red appeared on Dark Shadows

It's also the color of a lie. 

Speaking of that scene, s is for scissors, which Jenny used to greet her sister-in-law.  They were also useful for stabbing werewolves, cutting lottery slips, etc.

Even cooler!

Yes.  It's stated in the scene that silver is Barnabas' vulnerability.  Quentin was about to stick a pin in the doll's heart, but he's told, "It must be silver."  When he starts pressing the head of the cane onto the doll's chest, Barnabas is instantly incapacitated by excruciating pain.  But Jamison faints and while Quentin tends to him, Magda rushes in, so the ritual is ended.

I must point out (1) Barnabas handles that cane all the time, to no ill effect, and (2) Likewise, he handles wood--which we know to be fatal to vampires if piercing the heart--with a similar lack of concern.

Exactly.  He can come in contact with either unless they pierce his heart.

Though early in the show, Barnabas tells Maggie that the wolf's head is an alloy of gold and silver, presumably as a way of explaining how he's able to carry it, but once the cane becomes synonymous with the character, this is never mentioned again.

You don't interpret the evidence provided on the show to mean that silver is detrimental to a DS vampire, and I do.  Agreeing to disagree is cool with me, Zahir. 

The voiceover stated that Barnabas found himself alive in the ghost's own time.  Is "alive" the right word for a vampire inhabited by an astral projection?

The tower room exchange is my favorite B & A scene.  She is so powerful in this century, and seemingly omnipresent (?)-- how DOES she know the details (David's and Chris' predicaments) of Barnabas' mission?  Great hair, too, and a new dress.  But while she believes "your love would change me; your love could make me anything you wanted me to be," in 1840, [spoiler]whether you believe him or not, his declaration of love comes after the change in her.[/spoiler]

Angelique indicated that she was not present in the original 1897.

But she didn't indicate anything!  And shortly before he asked her, she told Barnabas, "I save what I know."  Yes, I'm being stubborn.

If David were in Jamison's place, we wouldn't believe in his cluelessness.

I like that.  I was surprised that Jamison took Quentin's comments to mean that his uncle was under an actual curse (by Barnabas).  David, who has experienced a dream curse, would not make that mistake.  Yes, I like it a lot.

Magda sure is speedy, arriving at the cottage in what seemed like a blink of the eye.  And she is welcome to clean MY house anytime!!  Okay, so I'd lock up all valuables first.
