Roger forgetting being a vampire victim at least has precedents.  The totally baffling thing is why Roger forgot the Leviathans, despite his not even having been under their spell in the first place.

The wording of the beginning voiceover suggested to me that the parallel time room was created by Barnabas's subconscious to distract him from the troubles that are besetting him in his real life.

This vo suggests that?

Yup.  To me, anyway.

For in this room, Barnabas Collins seems to be able to see a world that exists in parallel time; see, but not enter.

Seems.  Suggesting that it's not real.

[Midnite]

Thanks!  I thought it meant that he witnessed what seems to be parallel time, but I like that the sentence inspires different interpretations in different people.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

And why is Barnabas repulsed by Megan biting her victim? He’s a vampire too for crissakes.

Because he's repulsed by his nature.

I have no doubt that this is most likely the best sex Roger has ever experienced.

I have no doubt of that either. 

We don’t care about you, Willie. It’s all about us. US! US! US!

Exactly. At least on Barn's part. Julia at least has some sympathy for Willie's plight.

I love the music that is played when we see Parallel Time.

I love it too. (There were a few new pieces of music introduced in PT and I felt they were all quite effective.)

Marie Wallace spent her final scene on DS crammed so tightly in a coffin that she had to bend her legs.  She wrote that it was originally built for tiny Nancy Barrett; does anyone know what she's talking about?

Nope - she was never seen in a coffin on the daytime show. Perhaps it was built for a plot point/plotline involving NB that they never went through with[spoiler](perhaps when Barn was attacking Charity in 1897 and/or Ang was causing her to dream Barn would kill her?),[/spoiler]and then it was recycled for VampMeg? 

Something rolled by the window in the PT room... the upstairs PT room.

Part of the window washers' scaffold? 

Why is it that we never hear the rooster unless a vampire is around?

He sleeps in unless he senses a vamp is in the neighborhood and in need of a reminder. 

Thanks!  I thought it meant that he witnessed what seems to be parallel time, but I like that the sentence inspires different interpretations in different people.

Indeed. Though I took it to mean that it had yet to be proved that what Barn was seeing was the phenomenon of parallel time.

Where do you find out all these things MB..like discarded plotlines?  Where did you learn that one?
