I finally got a copy of issue #1 today, and definitely found it interesting. [spoiler] The way Angelique was presented (as the floating banshee), in my opinion is absolutely 1991; I heard Lysette Anthony's French accent reading those lines, not Lara Parker at all. Actually, I hated that part of the 1991 series, primarily because her lips didn't move, she was just floating there with her voice in the background. Anyway I also felt that her apparent control of Julia at the end was very reminicent of the 1991 plot. I know many fans always imagined this sort of Angelique coming back, but after they spent so much time in 1897, leviathins, and then 1840 humanizing her, it just feels strange to me. And so different, for example, to the dream Angelique made Barnabas have to warn him about the dream curse, which created horror through dialogue.
I like Michael's idea about Laura making a return. Maybe she was the one who attacked Carolyn, ala 1897 when she needed to absorb people's energy to stay alive. Then again, the idea of another vampire sort of reminds me of in 1968 when Nicholas cast a spell to make Barnabas (and Julia) think that he was the one attacking people when in fact it was Tom Jennings.
