It's interesting that it was Roxanne, rather than Josette, who came back from the grave to save Barnabas. In 1840, Josette should still be ready, willing, and able to weep for Barnabas. And I'm sorry to see the last of Donna Wandrey. I hope that if Dark Shadows hadn't been canceled, we would have seen her again. Oh, forget about "I hope". Nobody can prove anything, so I'm saying that if Dark Shadows hadn't been canceled, we would certainly have seen her again. And Kathryn Leigh Scott and Alexandra Moltke would have come back too. I just know it.
Stokes identified Bedford, where Judah Zachery's trial was held, as being in Massachusetts. Very strange. I like to think that Thayer David added "Massachusetts" in because he was a Massachusetts native himself and knew of the Massachusetts town of Bedford, but that doesn't help in the Dark Shadows universe, where Stokes is a Maine man and would not be likely to locate Bedford in Massachusetts by mistake.
If one function of Stokes's arrival was to give the writers a chance to recap all that has gone on so far, then why did they make it such a mishmash coming out of Julia's mouth? Anybody who didn't know the stuff already was bound to be bewildered by it all.
