I'd like to know where that wonderful FONT came from, Ms. Midnite!!!?

Rainey,

The Algerian font came with Windows. 

I love it, Heather!  

Once you've been around for a while, you'll realize that floaties like the mayo jar can and will pop up at some of the oddest times. 

I'll say it because I can't help myself.  The Mayonnaise Benefactor.  

 

Enjoy!!!  (I hope!  LOL!) 

Yes!  Very nice singing, btw.  And thank you for your creative and thorough response above.

[spoiler]not to mention his mistreatment and murder of Maggie and Sabrina respectively.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeager didn't murder Maggie, she was alive and well at the end of 1970 PT[/spoiler]  

I think you missed "respectively" (for each separately and in that order), so she wasn't saying Maggie was murdered. 

So, if Barnabas was [spoiler]10 in 1785 when Laura died by fire, he was 20 in 1795!  I knew he was young![/spoiler]

Another example of 'suspension of disbelief', in other words, don't let the 43 year old actor make you think the character he's playing is 43!   

Barnabas said he was 10 the first time he laid eyes on Laura but didn't say he was 10 when she died:

I remember the first time I saw her, I was a child of 10 and I thought there could never be no more beautiful woman as long as I lived."  Charity asks, "When you were 10 years old?"  She was like a flame, says Barnabas, coming toward the house, that day in her bright orange riding habit.  How ironic that fire should kill her.

Cool, Brandon Collins!

Barnabas was NO LONGER A VAMPIRE upon his return to 1971 from 1840. Angelique had lifted the curse before she died.

Yea, I had a feeling about this too. But I wasn't sure as I haven't seen those episodes in quite a while. I'm currently rewatching them so I'm sure I'll see it soon. Apparently LP didn't watch enough of the episodes during her research.

Brandon Collins and BARNABASLIVES,

Whether or not Barnabas was still a vampire in his final appearance has been much debated in fandom.  Though Angelique lifted the curse in 1840, the present-day Barnabas [spoiler]was actually under Jeb's vampiric curse.  It seems to me (though even this is up to interpretation) that it was nighttime when Barnabas, Julia and Stokes returned via the staircase in 1971,[/spoiler] so that's no help.

Sam Hall made it quite clear in his TV Guide article that he believed Barnabas was still a vampire when the series ended.  And if fan fic is any indication, most of the writers whose stories I've read believe the same thing.

I think LP got this one right.


Here's something else from TSB that perhaps should have been caught during the editing process.  SPOILERS!!!  While visiting Salem, David and Barnabas spotted a crying Antoinette at a gravesite.  After she left, Barnabas read the inscription on the tombstone:  it was an infant of Miranda du Val's, who died in 1692.  Then, at Gallows Hill (from p. 112)--

     "... Mirand du Val.  Hanged October 31, 1692. 'If you take away my life, God will give you blood to drink.'"
     Barnabas stopped and stared long and hard at those words. God will give you blood to drink. A cold shudder ran down his spine. Who was this Miranda du Val and what sort of innocent victim had she been? What a vivid and remarkable thing for her to say. God will give you blood to drink. Of course, it was a curse! From the gallows, in her last breath, she had cursed those who hanged her.

I know that Barnabas can be dense at times, but a light should have gone on in his head. Julia told Barnabas about a girl known only as Miranda who testified against Judah Zachery in 1692.  Later, after Angelique lifted the curse, he told the witch, "You were Miranda," recalling the newspaper stories that Julia had told him about.

Curse... Miranda... blood... 1692... witch... Angelique.  Duh, Barnabas.  I think the name Miranda should have been instantly recognizable to him.
