Barnabas's Best Moments

[tripwire]

This probably doesn't qualify as a "selfless" moment, but by far I think Barnabas' best moment was the time he first told the story of Josette to Vicki and Carolyn during the thunderstorm (early B/W episode). He had this enormously long monologue and never missed a beat; the emotion was so real, the atmosphere so haunting, it was a very genuine moment.

i think that may have been the barnsters best moment on the show, it was a very good performence.
Another incident that stands out in my mind was during the seance when Sarah began to speak through Vicki and he tried to stop it - but he had to catch himself because he started to say "This is cruel . . . " then quickly glanced around to see if anyone caught on. The response here was also very genuine.

Just a couple of my favorite Barnabas moments.

For me it'll always be 1995 when he tells Julia "not without you"

THAT was an excellent B moment. . for God's sake Julia had just colluded with the devil to kill him but he still wouldn't go home without her .. .now that speaks volumnes I have to say. . .

Another touching scene was when Barnabas went to his father in 1795 and asked him for two requests:
1- To free Ben
2- To help Vicky
I especially liked #1 because even though Barnabas had become a vampire, it showed that he still had some good human feelings left in him.

Also I found it very touching when he and Joshua had said their goodbyes to each for the last time in 1795. That scene was a real tearjerker.

Heavens no .. it spoke to his undying loyalty to her, just as she has been loyal to him for 5 years even when he was cruel and under the control of evil things. . she stood by him (well for the most part --I haven't seen the Leviathan estrangement yet. .).  And what his words and actions meant. . .to me, he acknowledges that he had been in her shoes  and he would not leave her alone in the future to deal with the devil alone. . .
