you can cancel your hotel reservation day of arrival with no penalty, which would free the room up for latecomers...

At the full rate, unfortunately.  Once the block of rooms is sold out, it's the Marriott's policy to not offer the Fest rate for rooms that become available again.

Happy Birthday, Pansity!  

Dance the whole night long!   

Midnite:   "Precognition" yes, but that doesn't necessarily extend to future centuries.    Some living individuals in DS get a sense of imminent danger, and are right, but they still don't have a road map to what's going to happen in a hundred years.

I didn't mean to imply that Sarah could predict what will occur in another 70+ years; I was only responding to your comment that DS ghosts can't see future events.  I think what "roused" Sarah in 1967 was her brother's purely evil state after emerging from the coffin.  The Barnabas walking about in 1897 had already become the show's protagonist, even if his actions in that time period are more difficult for the audience to rationalize than they seemed to be for Barnabas.

But I'm intrigued by Lydia's suggestion that Sarah was summoned by her brother's inner Good Barnabas.

Anyway, David keeps going on about how "nobody knows" what it is, or when, or how.... "nobody" might very well include Sarah.    She didn't give specifics after all... maybe she was telling all she knew.

There's a finality to David's farewell to Burke.  Even Vicki commented that he was speaking as if Burke was never coming back.  It's apparent that he knew far more than he admitted in the dialogue quoted above.

I don't remember Sarah assisting in David's premonition of disaster, but Midnite's quote makes it clear that she did.  (I just read a book whose moral was: "Check your sources!" but I trust Midnite to get this right.)  But it's not clear from the quote (and I'm too tired to go check the episode myself) that Sarah was the one with precognition.  Maybe David had it but didn't realize it, and Sarah sensed it and pulled it to the surface of David's mind - and the reason that the premonition was so vague was that it wasn't ready to be pulled out and examined.  Premature birth of foreknowledge is notoriously dangerous.

If I'm not mistaken, Robin saw it as David's premonition too.  The DS Program Guide supports my interpretation (not that the DSPG or I are, by any means, definitive sources)-- #344 Sarah warns David that a disaster will soon happen. David is disturbed when Burke leaves for Brazil.

Do you think that she is waiting to appear to Barn when he is better and cured?

Well, we know from a future episode that Sarah wants Barnabas to be "good". And, considering that after her vow to never show herself to Barn until he is good, she never does appear to him again, it would certainly seem her way of thinking is that he never does become good. And not that it will surprise anyone, but I couldn't agree more.
